La Parisienne - Newark and Sherwood

Just called here for lunch and discovered a real gem. The menu was varied and food excellent. All of the hosts were wonderful and very accommodating. We will certainly be back and would thoroughly recommend the food and ambience.

Absolutely great, lovely small bistro with a fabulous atmosphere and superb cooking, loved it. We had lovely conversations with people we didn’t know, whilst drinking a French red wine, waiting for our lunch. Just delightful. We will be back.

Two friends joined my wife and I when we paid a return visit to this Southwell gem-a warm welcome, the best bouillabaise, delightful tartiflette du saumon,a perfect Sauvignon blanc, and very reasonable prices. The bistro looked its best in its Christmas wear. All four of us back soon

Lovely food, you need to book as only small. Friendly relaxed service and nice choices on the menu. Everything freshly cooked and so tasty. Staff are nice and nothing is too much trouble. Very reasonable prices, hard to beat.

There are very few good eating places in Southwell, and the food here is amongst the best. We lunched before an afternoon concert. I had the paella, and my wife the moules. Both excellent. Very attractive decor and ambience. On the day we visited, the lunch menu was very limited. Only 6 mains, 3 of which included seafood which might not be to everyone 's liking. (The online sample menu was much more varied . There were only 2 wines on the menu the house red, and the house white (Italian ! We obviously selected the white as we were having seafood, and weren 't impressed by it. I asked the manager why there was no French wine available, and he offered to bring me the wine list ! (Why didn 't we have it with the menu ? In fairness to him he allowed us to choose another wine for no charge. The service was friendly and welcoming, but too laid back. There were only 6 tables, but no one ever came over to us unless we signalled. We would certainly eat there again, now that we know what to look out for the food was delicious.
