French Living

My favourite restaurant in Nottingham, and the only authentic French restaurant in Nottingham. One of the only places you can find Perrier, Orangina and Ricard, amongst others. Food is really food, always, whether you dine à la carte or have the lunch/ pre theatre menu. Good selection of less common wines that are always good and good value for money. Really friendly people and great vibes too. Had venison last time and it was absolutely amazing! Starter and desert were great too. I really wish I had more time so I could come more often...

First time visiting this restaurant, though I have no idea why. They do a set menu on weekdays which is 3 courses for £22 which is an absolute bargain considering you can get steak frites included in that. I opted for the lamb which was stunning. Weirdly, couldn’t identify a couple of the vegetables it was served with but the potato dauphinois was sensational. The creme brûlée that one of our party had is the best I’ve ever tried. Authentic, flavoursome French food with friendly service. Highly recommend.

Unexpectedly amazing and a memory we will hold onto for a very long time. Everything about French Living Restaurant, Nottingham is extraordinary and the family who have always ran the place are beyond hospitable. We perused the family/restaurant history album found atop a cabinet next to our table where we saw Pierre (the owners son who is there working hard decades after his picture was captured), other members of the French Living family and a handful of Stephane the Owner/Founder. The dishes served at French Living are astonishingly delicious. We finished our dinner with a Crème Brulee especially fantastic. If you are a living person who eats food, French Living in Nottingham will be one of the best culinary decisions you will ever make.

Beautiful cosy place with a very french location and atmosphere. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a multitude of french messages and pictures. The menu is quite simple and is changing once in a while. The staff is very friendly and happy to help. The food is good and there are beautiful layers of flavours. The deserts are absolutely delicious. I recommend it.

Such a lovely little restaurant. Very authentic French food, served and tastes just like when your eating in France! We went for our first wedding anniversary because we got married in France and it didn't disappoint.
