“Padrig Jones established a great reputation at Le Gallois in Pontcanna and has now reestablished himself here in Whitchurch. The upstairs restaurant is smart if a little unprepossessing. We ate at lunchtime on a Friday and the choice of fayre was very impressive. A good choice set menu with 3/4 options for any of the three courses; a full a la carte menu with again a good range of options and then some daily specials. Francis the sommelier and wine merchant knew his business and we ordered a very fruity red from Languedoc. Between the two of us, we had scallops and Pembroke oysters- served with simple but very tasty dressings. For main I had a cod fillet in a herb crumb topping and my partner had a 6 oz fillet steak- cooked to perfection. The accompanying broccoli and spinach vegetables were an excellent partner to both. I finished with an afrigato. The bill, some £120 included 2 glasses of white wine- delicious as an aperitif- and the red. The food is classic French cooking with a squeeze of Italian, and the wine list off centre but interesting. Excellent food and excellent service.”
