When my wife said she wanted to go to a restaurant for her birthday with several friends of ours, I instantly suggested we get a table at Restaurant Noel. Our food was fantastic - everyone in our party of fourteen raved about their food, but I expected that because I was entertained there before. What I didn't really expect was the warm and generous welcome we all received. We were the last party to leave, but there was no sense of being rushed out. My wife raved for a good 30 minutes when we got home about how wonderful the evening had been. Sergio and Noel, you guys made me look great. Thanks so much!

We eat out in Teddington once a week, and over time have tried everywhere. No place matches Noel for their quality of cooking, the welcomes from the staff, and the sheer value for money. The starters always contain at least two choices and choosing is difficult but the salad of foie gras and green beans, and anything with a Parmesan crisp is very special.

Mains are great too, with fish dishes, duck, and rabbit as favourites. Desserts could be more adventurous and scrumptious, but by then I'm usually full. Wines are inexpensive and of good quality, like the Chenin Blanc and the Rosé de Provence, both under £15. A bargain before 7:30 but still under £60 for two later.
