Le Bouchon — Restaurant in Scotland

First time dining here since these guys have opened, and what lovley delicious food AND very reasonably priced. Staff where very helpful and imformative when it came to the menu ect! :D

Hope Laurencekirk and the surrounding areas support this place as it deserves it.

Hope to return when fully opened into NextDoor, and hopefully a more...

I don’t write reviews often, but Chez Raphael is truly a hidden gem. Raphael’s deep knowledge of historical French cuisine and how it influences his menu is something special. His explanation of each dish was both relaxing and exciting — a perfect way to begin a remarkable evening.

For our wedding anniversary, we dropped off a bottle of Champagne and a red wine the day before. A lovely touch: both were beautifully presented and ready on arrival. It’s BYOB at the moment, which added a personal and thoughtful touch to the evening.

Incredible value too — just £53 for two, including corkage. Without a doubt, the best dining experience we’ve had in many years. We’ll...
