French Living A family-owned French restaurant in the heart of Nottingham city centre. A true taste of France!
(443)

It’s a thriving, bustling restaurant on two floors, with a ground floor dining area for up to 40 customers, and a large basement room which boasts a surprisingly tall ceiling, and seats up to 44 diners. Our dishes are typical of a French bistro; simple, classic recipes, all home-made from fresh ingredients. Our meals make the French feel at home, and the British remember their holidays. Authenticity, combined with a desire to share the French culture and pass on our knowledge, makes us unique, and ensures our loyal, discerning customers keep coming back for more. Our cafe-creperie menu is served from 10.30am (9.30am on Sats) offering delicious morning coffee, breakfast French pastries, as well as baguettes, assiettes, galettes and crepes. Upstairs you can find French Living's deli corner - an oasis of temptation, like stepping into a French market, surrounded by oozing cheeses, epicerie essentials, as well as gorgeous brocante finds to create your very own French-inspired kitchen!

What a wonderful evening with the Swing Zippers! 🎶

On Sunday, we welcomed the Swing Zippers into our cellar for an evening of live gypsy jazz, good food, w**e and plenty of fun.

It was the first of our French Living Cellar Soirées and we absolutely loved seeing the space come to life. A huge thank you to the Swing Zippers for bringing such a brilliant atmosphere, and to everyone who joined us and made the evening so special.

We’d certainly love to do more evenings like this… so we want to hear from you!

Who would you like to see perform at French Living next? Let us know in the comments and we’ll see what we can make happen!

À la prochaine! 🎶🇫🇷

Suggestion of the week 🇫🇷

As the days start getting a little cooler, we’re bringing some proper French comfort food to the menu.

This week’s suggestion is Boudin Blanc, served with creamy mashed potatoes and a traditional wholegrain mustard sauce.

Simple, comforting and full of flavour, exactly the kind of dish you’d expect to find in a little French bistro as autumn begins to arrive.

Come and give it a try this week! 🇫🇷❤️

Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming the Nottingham Anglo-French Society (NAFS) for a lovely afternoon of French songs and homemade pastries 🇫🇷🥐

Pierre truly committed to the role of boulanger, waking up at 3am two days in a row to prepare the dough from scratch for his croissants, pains au chocolat and chouquettes and they were absolutely delicious!

There was something very special about enjoying freshly baked French treats while listening to songs that reminded us of home and brought back so many fond memories.

A big thank you to NAFS for such a wonderful afternoon, and of course to Pierre for all the hard work behind the scenes and not to forget Alfie, our young apprentice who helped making the choux pastry. He’s always so hardworking and we’re very grateful for him 🇫🇷❤️
