Quick info
About Frédéric Bistro
Frédéric Bistro is a modern French restaurant set in the Market Buildings in Maidstone, where the kitchen runs from morning through the day. French-style breakfasts open the menu, with omelettes among the morning plates, and lunch brings a Veggie Croque alongside other French dishes. Coffee and Madeleines are available, and the dessert and pastry range draws particular attention. Reservations are required. Portions come out generous, and the room carries a French bistro feel, with French music threaded through the day. The format moves from breakfast service into lunch under one roof, centred on classic French cooking rather than a single speciality.

“Have been visiting Frédéric for years and am never disappointed! The most delicious food in a beautiful restaurant surrounded by French antiques and decor. The madeleines are divine, as are the omelettes, toasted sandwiches, fries and pancakes (not necessarily in that order!). Also super reasonably priced, and very high quality. Always look forward to a visit.”
