The French Connection is a charming bistro-style restaurant with a welcoming and unpretentious atsmosphere. Chef Patron Matthew Gordon (owner of the renowed Haute Cabriere), has created a simple, yet enticing menu, guaranteed to suite all palates. Concentrating only on the freshest ingredients, the menu for lunch includes a range of salads such as “grilled calamari & chourico sausage with wild rocket and paprika dressing” & “smoked chicken breast with roasted beetroot, hummus & garlic yoghurt dressing”. There is also a range of Pitas to choose from as well as a more substantial selection of items such as “veal schnitzel with fresh porcini sauce”, “fillet mignon with three mushroom sauce” and “salmon trout & dill fish cakes with green herb mayonnaise” – to name but a few. The dinner menu boasts with specialities such as Crispy Roast Duck, Fresh Mussels (with French Fries) and an excellent steak section, which cements French Connection as a firm favourite with the “Local Yocals” as well as our foreign guests.
