Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We really enjoyed our Golden wedding Anniversary meal here in October. We had their Tenner Fest menu. There was a god choice of items to choose from and at a reasonable price. We both had the prawn cocktail then the pork loin. I then had...the mango sorbet and my husband had a coffee. The service was very friendly and attentive. We were made very welcome and really enjoyed our delicious meal. Everyone else seemed to be enjoying their meals to. The atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. WE would certainly like to return for a meal when we return to Guernsey.More

One of the highlights of our stay at Le Friquet! The food is as excellent as it was the previous year. Some of the best seafood we have had. Has even changed my mind about oysters! The service and staff are excellent. If I had...one minor criticism it would be that I just wish the desserts were a little more exciting/adventurous to make it a complete gastronomic experience. However, my wife and I are looking forward very much to our next visit.More

Our family of eight enjoyed a very pleasant lunch at this restaurant located in Le Friquet Country Hotel. The restaurant was spacious, bright and quiet. The service was attentive and the food arrived piping hot for us all at the same time, sometimes tricky with...a variety of requests for children and adults alike. My dish of grilled brill was simple, fresh and superbly cooked. Everyone was happy with their choices, including lamb cutlets, and pork schnitzel. The wine list was not large but had good options. My dessert of coconut cheesecake was light and delicious and my husband was very pleased with his strawberries and cream. We are overseas travellers faced with a huge choice of restaurants in Guernsey and I’d like to single out this as one of the best!More
