Passing by one day and being married to a Frenchwoman, it pays to spot things like this. I booked online and was called moments later, apologising for the lack of a high chair for our wee laddie. No bother I cried as I was already salivating at the menu. Lewis, Esteban and the hidden Scott and Jennifer (chef and owner respectively) were awesome. Lewis was engaging but not in your face. Proudly explained the Kombucha ingredients (she had the sea buckthorn and orange whilst I went for Onion and Squash) were foraged. Everything is understated quality. The tables look roughhouse but are lived in and have a well worn sheen. The cutlery was brought to you on linen and per diner, not a jingle jangle of steelworks. We had the Brunch du Marche and Brunch Satine to share. The pastries were lush. Just enough hint of hazelnut to the chocolate filling and the creme pat wasn't too sweet, not too plain. The house baked bread was dense and flavoursome and the butter made on sight. The eggs were perfect, and seasoned to perfection and the mountain of boudoin noir (black pudd to you Scots) was super, alongside the french tatties. The salmon just oozed quality, the cheese and charcuterie were served at the right temperature and even my coffee cup had a feel to it; properly chosen by someone who cares. Our son slept peacefully for 85 minutes which was plenty to enjoy a wonderful meal in delightful surrounds. A coupe had gorgeous looking brioche rolls on a neighbouring table, and 4 chaps had the brunch and a family brought daughter and boy to another and all left happy. We will be back. Vive Satine, vive la France.

Fantastic food, professional staff and excellent atmosphere. The waiter gave great wine recommendations and was attentive but not intrusive. Can’t recommend highly enough, will come back often!

A pleasant enough experience. Nice atmosphere. Helpful waiter. My main course wasn't that warm which was disappointing. Delicious dessert.
