Chez Tonton

Lovely warm atmosphere and friendly staff. Delicious food and liked the French music at the background. Would definitely visit again and recommend to friends. Thank you

Good food. Good service. The 3 courses for £20 makes it fantastic value. Have been a customer for a few years. The food never disappoints.

This is such a lovely restaurant! It is one of my favourite places to eat, and I can't wait to return. The staff especially make the whole experience so enjoyable.

A very pleasant evening in a very authentic french setting. The food and service was excellent and the price very reasonable. I will definitely go again.

Unbelievable. Charming delicious wonderful staff and will be returning. Not too pricey either!!! Easy to find, clean and intimate. Interesting menu with plenty to chose from.

Have not been to Chez Tonton for 20 years. Had a lovely evening. The owner was ever welcoming and the waiters were delightful. Food very french but enjoyable. I particularly liked the atmosphere, very welcoming, no pressure to order and most importantly no hurrying us out of the restaurant once the meal had been finished. I will be returning and it wont be in 20 years time!

Atmosphere and service excellent as usual . Starters and main courses very good but a little disappointed with the deserts . But overall a very enjoyable visit

Excellent, long-established, local, French restaurant. Good set of proper French aperitifs, usually so overlooked, such as a Kir. Couldn't fault the fondue, prawns or the rabbit. A very exuberant owner adds to the friendly and enjoyable experience.

The restaurant was freezing when we arrived. Its just affected our enjoyment of the whole meal. We were offered garlic bread when we sat down not realising that it was charged. It was a standard garlic bread baguette that you would purchase and then it was like sautéed in garlic butter. It was served on a dish cut up like croutons. I had the sirloin steak which was cooked ok, it had a massive piece of uncooked fat running through it but the sauce was lovely as was the accompanying vegetable. My partner had the lamb and it was a mixture of well done (which was tough) and tender. we know this restaurant has a well received fan base and this was out first visit. Did not like the garlic bread at the beginning and especially as it was not mentioned that it was charged for. You do pay a cover charge of 65p each which covers you for four tiny pieces of baguette and butter. We would be prepared to visit again but the freezing cold really affected our enjoyment but we are prepared to give it another go

Beautiful menu, friendly staff and an excellent 3 courses. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening - and a free ladies main course as well :-) what’s not to like?

Great family run restaurant, excellent menu with daily specials, first class service and even when very busy the owner always finds time for a chat, reasonably priced given the quality of the food. Chez Tonton never disappoints, far better than all the overpriced pretentious restaurants in the Barnet whetstone area.

Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service. Special monthly Thursday offer of ladies having a free main course was an extra bonus. A wonderful slice of real France in East Barnet!

Excellent food with generous portions. Friendly staff. Appreciated the value for money on Ladies' Night. We will certainly be going again as this was our first visit.

Wonderful food and the house wine was excellent. We were very well looked after by the staff who even organised us a cab home. Whilst this is a little off the beaten track, it is well worth a visit. They accept Tastecard which make it all the more affordable. Will definitely be back.

Took friends last night that had never been before but had wanted to go for a long time. Having been many times over the years, I knew they would be disappointed, and they weren’t! The food was extremely well cooked & presented. Traditional French food served in a modern way. Possibly the decor could do with a revamp and the outside has 3 versions of their phone number that has changed over the years but perhaps that is part of the charm of this little hidden treasure of East/New Barnet!

Absolutely brilliant. Great food, great atmosphere. Eric and all the staff were very welcoming and the service was first class. We shall definitely be back.

Fabulous. Great food and service. Friendly staff and very nice food. Good wine list and aperitif options. Busy but not too much. Good atmosphere. We will be back.

Another very enjoyable meal at Chez TonTon. Food and service excellent. Used Taste Card which was a bonus. Highly recommended. Only reason for not giving 6 is it's position on a busy-ish road which with the main doors open made it a little noisy but the air was welcome!

Another great meal at Chez Tonton had by all four of us. The ambience and service by Eric and his staff good as ever. The crepes for dessert were to die for !!!

excellent choice on set menu, good price, lovely French service and real, old fashioned French food - a small menu so you know it is all freshly prepared. lovely evening, thanks chez tonton.

Hadn't been there for years and it didn't disappoint although it was extremely busy on the night in question. Good and honest French food served with style.

A welcoming French restaurant, friendly host, lovely food, nice wine and good value, what more could anyone wish for. We had a lovely evening there.

Lovely restaurant, quaint and pretty, very friendly staff with good service and food was great. Felt like a little visit to France right on the doorstep

We had a fantastic evening at Chez Tonton. It feels like you're in France! Food was delicious and service was very attentive. It was my fiance's birthday and the waiters brought out his dessert with a candle and sang happy birthday!

We had an excellent meal at our favourite restaurant for Fathers Day. The food was gorgeous as usual and the hosts and their staff top notch. Thankyou

Very nice little French bistro. The soup of the day and the veal was particularly good, as was the house wine. Friendly service, good food and good value.

Great food as always, friendly staff and an authentic 'French' atmosphere. We always enjoy our visits here but we did miss our usual warm garlic bread which always used to come to the table before the meal!

Amazing food, great service- very friendly and accommodating, even though we had a 1 year old with us. A little gem which we are proud to say is our local.

An authentic French restaurant with the owners having built a good reputation over many years. Food is very French and always get the garlic bread whilst choosing your fare. Service started good but waned later in the evening forgetting my dessert wine. Great little restaurant with some good lunch time and weekday evening offers. Reasonably priced.

A lovely evening with warm hosts....as always. The food was excellent, our party ordered from the menu and the specials board. The service was great.

Great food (particularly the onion soup) , great service and a great atmosphere. My favourite restaurant and I try to go there whenever possible. Always recommended to friends.

We found the atmosphere very friendly and the staff extremely helpful. The food was excellent and the ambience was first class. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Excellent value 2 course weekday lunchtime special. Has an authentic French flavour. I have no doubt that I will be back to eat here again before long.

Good overall. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The food was good, too However, I think the house wine is too pricey - almost £6 per glass...

Great find will be returning for sure. Delicious food lovely atmosphere and just down the road. Service can't be faulted attention to detail spot on

Lovely meal with very good service and lovely atmosphere. Main courses were particularly good . Never had a bad meal at this restaurant, Worth a visit

My son wanted to treat his Mum to a special Mother's Day meal and everyone at Chez Tonton made it exactly that. This is our go to restaurant for special occasions. In addition to exquisite French dining, there is a wonderful ambiance and for a couple of hour you really feel like you're in France.

We had an excellent champagne cocktail to start a splendid evening. Lovely food, which was cooked to perfection, and presented beautifully. We probably stayed too late!

Good food and friendly service :o) Nice authentic french atmosphere. I like the hot plates. The house red is pretty good :o) It was our third visit.

A very pleasant restaurant with innovative dishes and good service. We received a warm welcome on Mother's Day and look forward to visiting again soon.
