“We visited Brasserie Blanc in Gunwharf Quays as a large group, and the service was phenomenal! The food was wonderful overall—the cheese soufflé was particularly stunning. While the steak frites could have been described a bit more accurately in terms of portion size, it was still reasonable value at £15. It's a gorgeous restaurant with cocktails priced at around £12 each. For our group of 3 adults, the total food bill came to approximately £110 (two of us had three courses, and one had two courses). I would definitely go back. A special shoutout to our waitress, who was easily an 11/10. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and patience—she was amazing!”

“My partner and I ate here today and had a great experience. Firstly, we hadn’t realised that the Sunday menu didn’t include the beef tartare (which is my absolute favourite), but as soon as we mentioned this to Mindaugas, who was serving us, he offered to ask the chefs if it was possible. It was! And the beef tartare was delicious. My partner had snails and was also very happy with her choice. We both had the Devon crab for main course, it was really lovely and the fries were super crispy. We both had a creme brûlée for pudding, although we definitely could’ve shared as the portion was huge! Mindaugas was lovely and helpful throughout and the food was amazing. Highly recommend!”

“Really enjoyed a family lunch here recently. The waiting staff were friendly and welcoming, service was prompt but didn't feel rushed and the food was utterly delicious.”
- Teresa Zeng
“Very nice food and service. The food is very delicious and fresh. Crab is Local, beef is slow-cooked, hot food is warm enough and cold food is fresh. My friend and called the restaurant before we came here, asking if their kitchen is still open, they replied me before 8:45pm would all be good, so we came. And the service is efficient. The four dishes with one still water costs 81.4 including tax. Very good price too.”

“Popped in on a busy valentines night and they managed to find us a table for 2. Despite being busy the food came out quickly and more importantly was delicious. Our cod was cooked to perfection. There is a good variety on the menu, I had the rabbit on a previous visit which was both unusual to see and equally tasty. BB sticks to first principals of properly cooked well thought out menus and a quality front of house staff.”
