Beautiful French food and lovely ambience -had a lovely relaxing meal with a group of about 25 people. There was no panic and food arrived hot for everyone even though it was all freshly cooked - can't wait to go back.

Friendly well paced service in calm and restful surroundings.
Food excellent freshly cooked and well presented.Went there as a birthday treat and as a result will be going back on a regular basis.
This restaurant is just the type of establishment my wife and I prefer when going out being so relaxed.One minor gripe that after two hours of sitting on the, what looked like, ex school chairs (proper sized adult ones) they started to become a little uncomfortable. But as a measure of how good the food was we did not notice until we had finished the meal.
Expresso coffee was the best I have had in this country!.

This French owned and run restaurant in the lovely market town of Sudbury is a hidden gem. It really doesn't look much from the outside and, to be perfectly honest, it's completely unpretentious inside too. But don't let that fool you! The food here is of the highest standard and way better than quite a few meals I've eaten in France!
There is a regular menu and daily specials. Strictly no chips I believe (that should be strictly no 'frites' of course) but you can expect the freshest ingredients put together in an absolutely delicious way at great value prices.
You can pop in for coffee and a sumptuous cake or dessert, or have a full three course meal with wine - French wine of course! There's a small courtyard for al fresco eating and no matter what you order it will be delivered with a smile.
I've thought long and hard about writing this review. Am I giving away Sudbury's best kept secret (garden)?!!

Had a lovely lunch with my aunt & cousin here on Thursday. We had the 3 course set menu, Stilton and pear salad, venison burger and marmalade bakewell tart - washed down with Suffolk cider. Beautiful food well worth the money- A genuine taste of France!

Lovely cafe for afternoon tea and coffee. Friendly and helpful service and very knowledgeable. Great selection of home made food and very well priced. Afternoon tea with home made jam was delightful.

To celebrate a clear cancer check this morning we went to The Secret Garden for lunch. We have had tea and coffees there but never lunch, and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed a delicious yet unpretentious meal, home cooked and served without a long wait. It has a friendly and homely atmosphere and the staff looked after us very well. A lovely French restaurant without the usual fuss of a French restaurant! We shall certainly be visiting it more often, and for those who are passing through Sudbury visiting Gainsborough's House, a lunch here would make it a perfect visit to this lovely market town in Suffolk.

This gem of a place serves teas and light lunches I understand during the week, but on Friday and Saturday evenings it turns itself into a French restaurant. The charming staff are privileged to be able to serve imaginative dishes using the freshest ingredients from a menu which changes several times per year and which is always supported by daily 'specials'. We have eaten there on numerous occasions and had fantastic value and great taste. Nearly always full when we are there so I imagine need to book early (we always do) but well worth a detour if in the area at the right time.

This is my second meal here and it was even better than I was expecting...and the bar was already high!
I lunched here some time ago and was very impressed with the food, the staff and the ambience.Everything about the evening was delightful. We had a three course dinner and this included filter coffee with top ups. The food was perfectly cooked and creatively presented. We had a range choices between us so I was able to admire the dishes I hadn't chosen!
The service was very attentive without being intrusive and all the staff looked happy! The menu is not very extensive but that didn't matter at all! Looking forward to visit number three.
