Montrouge

At the end of a street of burger bars and pizza places is this unassuming French restaurant. The food was excellent, as was the service, and all at a reasonable price

Small restaurant but food is packed with fantastic flavours. Great wine too! I opted for the lunch offer of 2 courses for £13.50 which is incredibly great value considering how top notch the food was! Special thanks to George the chef who talked me through the menu and thank you Conor who recommended a fantastic wine was paired with my chicken dish perfectly!

Me and 3 girlfriends had a fabulous lunch here, we had lots of starters to share and each had the steak for mains, it was all absolutely delicious. Prior to our meal we advised that I had some allergies, on arrival Karen (front of house) talked me through the menu and explained all the options and how they could accommodate me. It was brilliant service and the food and drink was incredible. We would definitely recommend!

I loved it! Lovely atmosphere, delightful sumptuous meal with elegance & flair, everything tasted so fresh and the meal was served lovely and hot! The service was impeccable, Karen went above and beyond for us. Oh my ...so glad I chose the duck with the red cabbage & fried potatoes to start & the delicious chocolate torte for afters! Compliments to the chef. It was an exquisite experience and for me is now my favourite Southsea restaurant.

On my walks I often pass Montrouge saying to myself 'I must try there one day'. Finally I booked. I believe that they have only started serving Sunday Lunch for the past four weeks and already are proving popular! There is a lovely feel to the restaurant and tables laid beautifully. I ordered the beef brisket and my goodness was it good!!! Perfect homemade roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, very nice gratin and liked to see red cabbage on there as we normally only have this for Christmas. Carrots and peas fresh and I don't consider it a roast without them. I was offered a small glass of the house red (Merlot) to taste and it was very drinkable and paired well with the brisket. I was told that their wine comes from Camber Wines (situated in Old Portsmouth upstairs of Abarbistro). Service excellent and I hope to return again soon. Overall the best roast to date I have had the pleasure of trying in Southsea!
