Chez Elles - Tower Hamlets

The house red wine and onion soup were both excellent, but the mussels were disappointing. They were too small, with many of them being empty, and the white wine sauce was subpar. The service was good, but they did not handle my complaint well. It's a shame, as it's a nice little restaurant.

Simple in this case is very, very good! I have eaten here twice in the past two weeks. It’s a refreshing option to all the Indian restaurants on Brick Lane. For my review I am using the word ‘simple’ in the most positive way. This is a small restaurant with a well thought out simple menu. Many classics: steak and frites; mussels and frites; and Onion soup. Service is quick and attentive but not rushed. The food is on point proper portions and on point. No Paul Bocuse complexity here. I will return like next week

This has been my favourite French restaurant since I first tried it in 2014 (I’m French, in case you are not and wondering where to get food French food… search no more, this is it). It’s always been amazing, but I was there again tonight and I can safely say it’s the best it’s ever been. The cheese soufflé is to die for, and the onglet is just out of this world. For dessert, the pistachio crème brûlée has been my strong favourite for a few years now. I think it’s safe to say Lili and her team have done a fantastic job, and every time my partner and I come, we remember Nadia’s incredible customer service and her unique presence, and I’m sure she would be proud to see how well the team is doing now. We already can’t wait to come back.

We had a great dinner in a beautiful and cozy atmosphere. It is a sweet restaurant and Angelique definitely made a real difference! Her smile, kindness, professionalism and attention to detail is a genuine asset to the place! Thank you so much everyone for making our evening so special! Merci encore Angélique et vive la France

What a gem of a restaurant this is! The authentic French food is out of this world, the French onion soup is the best I’ve ever had by far. The restaurant itself has a beautiful ambience and is very romantic and makes the perfect date night! I visited with my boyfriend and my mum though and it was a lovely setting regardless. The staff were lovely and Lili the owner especially was very welcoming! Thanks, very much looking forward to returning!
