maison bleue

Gorgeous , seafood orientated sister restaurant to the Great House in Lavenham. Service is highly professional, fish is very fresh, and overall standards very high. I'd highly recommend the fruits de mer.

Wonderfully French restaurant in the middle of town with a menu that concentrates on seafood. The menu is not huge but the food is very good indeed.

I started with spanking fresh Colchester oysters that were the very essence of ocean freshness while the man had a white gazpacho topped with carpaccio of prawn, a prefectly judged summer evening soup. I followed with monkfish beautifully matched with lentils and a delicate herb sauce. The man had sea bass with fennel - and gorgeous it was.

Desserts are tempting - and the plum tart was a sweet treat atop perfect short pastry.

The decor is simple and light but towards the back the ceiling feels a bit low and claustrophobic.

Service is charming
