My son and I re-visited Le Blaireau, having not been for a few years. I always remembered that it was expensive, and it still is, but it has a nice French atmosphere. I had the Normandy Fish Soup, followed by Sea Bass with Lobster & Brandy Sauce. Both were very good. My son had Broccoli & Blue Cheese Soup, followed... More

Perfectly set out like the sort of bistro you'd find in the south of France, we came upon this little restaurant one evening last week. Good choice of authentic french cuisine and great service. The duck confit salad was delicious and the tarte tatin is most definately the best I've ever tried. Will certainly be returning.

We had dinner at Le Blaireau, the food was excellent, I had duck which was beautifully cooked. Side dish was a mouth-watering gratin dauphinois. Dessert was a selection of mini French pastries served with a coffee. Service was excellent, a great experience in the New Forest.

And before I go any further I have to say that they... More

I stayed at Carey's Manor and decided to dine on the first night at Le Blaireau, it was so good that I dined there each night for the rest of my stay. The food is excellent, lovely variety of dishes and the Cornish clotted Ice cream and Kirsh cherries dessert is to die for. The warm and friendly but efficient... More

Great Food, Great Service, Great Price...what more could you ask for. Only downside is they do not serve all the wines on the list per glass. Minimum purchase of 1 bottle

We have just returned from yet another splendid meal at Le Blaireau. We have been eating there for some time and are always happy to return for a celebration or just a quick but excellent coffee.The service is friendly but unobtrusive and the ambiance as authentic as you can get this side of the English Channel.
