Description of Les Associes
Everything about this restaurant is authentically French, from the menu to the old fashioned decor to the curling script of the cartes. The mood is sympathique, cozy at lunch, intimate at dinner, and there are a few tables outside where you can dine well en plein air and watch the smoke for your Gauloises twist in the breeze. The homemade fish soup, Breton style en croute, is delightful, and the confit of duck with grenadine sauce is also a favourite. Wine list is unsuprisingly French, as is the charming welcome daily specials.

At Les Associes the food was really excellent. I had loin of pork stuffed with prunes whch was to die for. We would definitely go back. Service was good too even on a busy Saturday night. Not sure about the flashing christmas lights outside the door though but it would be easy to miss this place so maybe that is why they are there!

Les Associes is a small, intimate restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. The French soup was fantastic as were the snails. Well worth a visit.

I went to Les Associes with some friends last Sat after seeing all the good reviews. Since most restaurants nowadays are all updated to a modern deco serving modern food, Les Associes has managed to keep a homemade quality in both the atmostphere & their food. Whether it's a good thing or bad thing it's up to the diners, but at it's hidden & remote location and still had a full house the night we went, it's probably doing the right thing.

We regularly visit this local restaurant and always enjoy it. A character of it's own, good food and wine.

Les Associes is a friendly little restaurant in pleasant surroundings (someone's front room). Food was lovely (delicious french onion soup) and service friendly and helpful. Wines were quite expensive but a good selection to choose from. We will definitely be back!

Les Associes provided us with a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner in a very pleasant and friendly ambiance. It was well presented and served with a good sense of humour. The pate and cheese were particularly good, but everything was well chosen for the occasion..

.The food was excellent. I had the duck in fig sauce.
It was however let down by the service.
We gave up on desert instead asked for a taxi, which arrived while we were still trying to pay our bill.
The restaurant was attractive with some nice art works

This is a lovely neighbourhood restaurant. I would highly recommend it both for couples and larger groups. Food was lovely - especially recommend the onion soup.

Excellent, non intrusive service. Good (French obviously) wine and excellent food.

Myself and my boyfriend went to Les Associes for his Birthday, we had great service, great fun and yummy food. I did find the restaurant quite pricey but it was a fab evening, we will be returning!

Les Associes continues its topnotch cooking from a discreet front room venue. Huge Langoustine in lovely garlicky butter, and slipper sole steamed with foie-gras surprisingly delicate. A New flustered serveuse's version of gallic charm from the Parisian school only adds to the authenticity. Fortunately the "patron" made up for her shortcomings with a complementary offering of perfect temperature cheese selection. The reblochon being particularly fine. £40 a head including house champagne worth it!
