La Maison Bleue

A wonderful dining experience here. Beautifully created menu for a set lunch. Good value for a very high standard of cooking. Thoroughly enjoyed the service and the food here. Yes its a little more than some places but the quality shines through. Definitely recommend eating here as a treat. Hope to come back again. Well done team for a fabulous meal.

A beautiful restaurant in the heart of Bury St Edmunds and a perfect location for a special occasion. We recently visited for my birthday and were surprised by a special treat after dessert (and the cakes were amazing). The food is incredible, whilst the service is spot on.

Solid French food! I joined in for their fixed 3-course lunch menu for approximately £45, which included an amouse bouche to start and petit fours to end. Service was friendly and relaxed. Being alcohol intolerant, I especially loved that they have a dedicated non-alcoholic drinks selection. For the amouse bouche, the cauliflower gazpacho was cold and fresh; perfect for the warmer weather. The beetroot dish, meanwhile, was nothing too exciting. I then had their pork with asian bbq sauce as a starter. The beefy aroma was incredible. The pork was super tender and fatty. I loved the sauce which was full-bodied, yet light enough that the flavours did not linger for too long. The pork crackling on top also added a nice onion flavour. An excellent dish. Next, for mains, I had their calves liver for an additional £3. This one had a mushroomy aroma that was even stronger than the last dish. Flavour-wise, I found it quite interesting. The liver was very rare on the inside, which meant it was on the tougher, chewier side. Being liver, it also had a strong gamey flavour. The rest of the dish - the parmesan polenta, chantrelles, and sauces - were quite heavy on the salt and did help to counter this. That being said, I definitely had enough of the flavours by the time I was finished. Lastly, I was recommended the strawberry dessert. Although the strawberry cream was a bit grainy, everything worked very well together. The strawberry was sweet but not tart, the biscuit held its crunch throughout, and the mint in the strawberry sorbet gave the dish a bit of a lift. The petit fours were great too: soft, chewy, light but flavourful. Overall, I had a great lunch, and I would be happy to come back again to try out more of their dishes!

**Review of La Maison Bleue – Bury St Edmunds** Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at **La Maison Bleue** in Bury St Edmunds, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Opting for their gourmet menu, I was treated to some of the finest cuisine I’ve ever had in the UK. From the moment I walked in, I felt warmly welcomed. Being greeted personally by the owner set a wonderful tone for the evening. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet inviting, and the service throughout was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. For my starter, I had the **crab meat with caviar**, a perfect balance of fresh flavors and luxurious textures that set a high bar for the meal. My main course, **cod**, was cooked to perfection—delicately flaky and accompanied by beautifully complementary flavors. To finish, the **crème brûlée** was a masterpiece, with a perfectly caramelized top and creamy, rich custard beneath. I have no complaints whatsoever. The entire dining experience was flawless, from the ambiance and service to the outstanding food. Without a doubt, this was my **best dining experience in the UK**. If you’re in Bury St Edmunds, **La Maison Bleue** is an absolute must-visit. It’s a testament to fine dining done right.

Vistited after receiving a voucher for Xmas. It is not somehwere I would choose to go normally as I am a lady on a budget and don't live locally. But I have to say as someone who loves French food, I would recommend it as somewhere special to save up to go to impress and eat excellent food. The service was very good and I only marked it down on atmosphere because we sat near a slightly loud table . I will start saving my pennies for a return as my husband loved his pollock and I love my meal too. I walked by the selection of cheese and the display wouldn't go a amiss in an art gallery.
