Best Authentic Restaurants in Abbotsbury

This is an impeccable dining experience with an authentic French flavour. You can tell through the taste of the food, its fresh, quality produce. Better still, it’s cooked to perfection. As a lover of steak, I honestly would say this is the best I’ve ever had. Across 4 people, French onion soup, calamari, prawns, salmon tartare, steak, duck, stuffed chicken, crème brûlée and basque cheesecake, were unbelievably good. An excellent wine list, with lots of French varietals and cocktails to match any food choice. The ambience is just perfect, beautiful music, French artefacts and a bar made from French champagne boxes made for a great dining experience. Service was attentive, calm and in control. Lots of free parking nearby and no hurry with time limits. A fantastic pre-Christmas family dinner, thanks to La Boucherie. We will be back! Cheers, Rob S.

I’ve been here a couple times now and have had an enjoyable experience each time. Staff are polite and on the ball and it has a great atmosphere. The food is delicious! My bub squeals in protest if I am not sharing my food the whole time and my fussy child happily ate his food. Food is reasonably priced which is a bonus. Found a new favourite spot that’s for sure!

Whilst our food was great as always, our dinner was tainted by noisy children that weren’t kept quiet by their parents to the point that we couldn’t hear ourselves think. Staff were totally oblivious to this until my wife told the staff to rein it in. She shouldn’t have had to do that as it should’ve been controlled earlier by the parents. Staff were slow to clear to the table. Also there shouldn’t be a paper sheet served under the Calzone as whilst slicing the calzone I was also slicing the paper which is ok if you’re a Koala, not so much if you’re a paying customer. Why not serve it on an oval porcelain plate instead of a wooden plater. All in all, a disappointing experience this time.

Gigino lovely Italian restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. Great service, attentive staff. Delicious food. Great pizza!!
