Such a shame as it stands out from the high street, but you know when you walk in somewhere and you wish you hadn`t ..hmmm well we mentioned as walking it if it was ok to just order coffee, waited about ten min for the very direct robot efficient woman to come to our table, saying she had no cups...

Chicken ballotine with mushroom duxelle, fondant potato and duck confit...partner delighted byhis melt-in-the-mouth pork belly with black pudding croquette and sage jus...ecstatic over our creme brulee and chocolate fondant desserts, eagerly swapped half way through...a good bottle of wine...friendly staff...an interesting building. This was good food, perhaps deserving of more cossetting from weighty tablecloths, thick napkins, a water bottle...and, in... More

We had a great time, the most gorgeous 2 course meal and delectable wine and lovely service. It's a very friendly place without being too informal. A lovely atmosphere, really nice art work on the walls and well worth frequenting. It doesnt have to be expensive either (we had 2 x 2course ,meal + wine £39.00) We'll be back. Highly... More

We had lunch here during a brief holiday in early new year. It was a cold day and walking in to the restaurant was wonderfullly warm and welcoming. We were seated and had a glass of red before we could get our breath. It was like stepping off the street in Totnes and straight into a Parisien Cafe. We had... More

Popped in for lunch. They sorted a table upstairs and took our order efficiently. Food came fairly promptly. Soup was okay but the bread wasn't fresh. The Brie baguette was a bit light on Brie, but the dessert was very good. Given the positive reviews on TA the experience was a little disappointing. More

I have enjoyed consistently excellent food and service at La Fourchette over the past year. The plat du jour on our most recent visit was roast pork with seasonal vegetables and a spiced apple sauce. It was one of the nicest dishes I had ever eaten and prompted me to sign up with Tripadvisor and leave a review. The apple... More

My husband & I went in on the off chance we may be lucky enough to get a table as the place was full just coming upto lunchtime, we managed to reserve one for 1/2 hours time which was perfect for us. We both ordered the 'plat de jour' which was a main course & a glass of wine or... More

This was our first visit to La Fourchette and despite booking at very short notice, Tony managed to accommodate us. From the minute we entered the door, the hospitality was outstanding. We were made to feel so welcome, and attention to detail was wonderful. I would definitely recommend the belly pork, which was divine and melted in my mouth, oh... More

We made the first mistake by going to Bistro 67, about 50 meters down from La Fourchette. Having ordered Moules Mariniere and Roast Lamb, another table complained that their fish was raw. Having walked out, we did the same when our food arrived. Having arrived at la fourchette, we were warmly welcomed by the waitress. Nothing was a problem. We... More
