A french restaurant that is truly FRENCH, an excellent place to practice your french before going to France. All who run the eatery are French.

We enjoyed the meal. We found the menu had lots of nice things and the service was good and not hurried. The Telegraph Subscriber discount was a bonus.

Our 2nd visit - on Father's Day - and we thought it was even better than the 1st. It was much busier than our first midweek lunch visit, but the layout of the restaurant means that it never feels crowded and it was a lovely atmosphere. The set menu was excellent value for money, bearing in mind the quality of the food. The four of us had one each of the four choices for starters and mains - each was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. There were three takers for the trio of desserts and I tried the vanilla and blackberry vacherin. None of us was disappointed. Another fantastic visit. Plan to take my parents when they next come to stay. Thank you to everyone at La Barbe for making it such an enjoyable occasion

This was our first visit to La Barbe for my husband's birthday and we weren't disappointed. Great service, lovely atmosphere and absolutely fantastic food! My husband was 'over the moon' with his Provencal beef stew, describing it as the best main course he'd had in ages. Will certainly be visiting again, particularly as my husband noticed the special menu for Father's Day!

Just like going to a good restaurant in France. This was our first visit, we went midweek and it was fully booked, I can see why. The staff were very welcoming, service was friendly and efficient throughout. The room is split into smaller areas with screens, Japanese style, so you feel quite private. The menu has plenty of choice and is informative with wine recommendations for every course. The food was excellent, portions were generous and everything was beautifully presented. I can't fault anything, we'll definitely be going back.

As always food and service exemplary! The rabbit was excellent and the beef stew deserves a better description. The choice of wines is exceptional at a very reasonable price. An all round good experience.

We have eaten at this well established restaurant for years and this is because the menu is interesting, the quality of the food and wine is consistently excellent, the staff are attentive but not pushy and the French ambience very comfortable.

Lovely friendly family atmosphere! All the staff were delightful. Food was truly excellent and good value for money. The wine is a bit pricey though. We felt very welcome and really look forward to going back soon.

We visited this genuinely French restaurant for lunch. It was not very busy. There was an excellent lunchtime menu plus extra dishes of the day. The service was good if a little slow as I suspect that our chosen items were cooked fresh. There was a two course or three course option for a fixed price. Wine was averagely priced and good.The atmosphere was pleasant and unhurried. I suspect that the main business is in the evenings and at the weekends. We have visited for lunch on a Saturday in the past. The meal then was very enjoyable and the place much busier. I would recommend La Barbe as a good place for a treat

Food was delicious, as always and the staff very helpful and friendly. We will return soon. It is justifiably one of our favourite restaurants. With Priory car park literally just across the street, parking is never a problem either.

Excellent service and food. The only downsides are that the seating felt cramped for four of us and it was extremely cold every time the door to the restaurant opened.

As always superb food and superb service. Was asked my opinion about a new desert they served , as the staff weren't happy about the texture. I agreed with them and they changed it for the better. Pleased to be of any service.

Great service and nice ambiance despite us not having the best table (we booked late on the same day so I suppose we were lucky to get a table at all so can't complain too much!). Food was good but not as refined as it could've been for the prices charged (Vension was slightly overcooked for my taste despite asking for medium rare). However, I would happily recommend La Barbe. It's as good as Toby Tobin's (just down the road on Reigate High Street) if not marginally better due to the slightly more romantic setting and what we felt was a fairly authentic French decor. Overall I would say La Barbe is the best choice in the area. I'm sure we'll be back.

Excellent food, as usual. Service was good but they were very busy and the noise level was so high that it made conversation a little difficult.

We went to La Barbe for a celebratory meal after we converted our civil partnership to a marriage with another couple. The food was excellent and the staff very attentive. It made a great ending to our special day.

Lovely food but lunch service was very slow. Not given menus so had to request them after 10 minutes, 20 minutes for bill to arrive.
