Whether you're a Surbiton local or a visitor, The French Table is one place you might want to make a point to visit. Touted as one of the best restaurants in the area, it positively buzzes with all the vibes you come to associate with popularity, and yet it still manages to create a relaxing and friendly ambience. Chef Eric Guignard who owns the restaurant imbues the dishes on his menu with delicate and delectable flavours and the delicious tastes are overwhelming, never overpowering.

A typical à la carte could begin with soufflé of Cornish crab with vegetable and mango salad, lightly flavoured with curry followed by pan-fried sea bass with spinach, lobster and ricotta cannelloni and coriander bisque. For dessert, there's a black forest gateau with white chocolate ice cream. The wine list offers a variety of choices, generally French, within the reds, whites and champagnes.
