Had Sunday lunch with 12 of my closest friends. Between us, we had almost everything on the Umami menu and everything was delicious. The service was great, even though there were so many of us. We’ll schedule many other meals here in the future.

Fine dining for under 30 euros. On a second visit we’ve been blown away again by the food. Amazing flavors of Asia with a slight French twist which works incredibly well. We had a totally scrumptious meal with good wine and a wonderful experience. This is an absolutely must.

Absolutely wonderful ! We had a take away this evening and it was delicious. I’m Vegan and they were so attentive and caring about this. My food was outstanding !! Such a gorgeous family run restaurant and family! Can’t wait to go again. Thank you so much. Apologies for my pics - I did dump food on plates and the pics don’t do it justice

We often struggle to find somewhere to eat as a family of two adults and two teens with differing tastes but Umami was fantastic with veggie and vegan options available. The food and service were both terrific.

Delicious Asian fusion food beautifully presented from this small family restaurant. The very fresh ingredients, gyoza, desserts and range of vegetarian options were all firm favourites. We will be back and probably very soon. Highly recommend

The food was lovely and the service was so friendly. The menu at the moment is a little limited but more than enough choice and we understand they will expand in time. We are going again next week . I'm now expanding this review after returning a week later. This wonderful family run restaurant providing yet another fantastic meal. The Aromatic Duck and Red Thai Curry both getting a 10 out of 10. Front of house and kitchen a true partnership. Thank you Brian and Adrian too for the warm welcome.

Lovely, clean, well managed restaurant with friendly and attentive service. Dinner menu had a choice of 4-5 starters and main courses with vegan options. We always prefer a sensible size menu with quality, freshly prepared food. The food was delicious and you can ask for extra spiciness on some dishes but for us it was perfect. Excellent value and will definitely return when next in area. Would recommend making a reservation as clearly very popular.

Exceptional! Comments in our party were “best meal I’ve ever had in France” and she has been coming to France for 20 years. Beautiful food and excellent service. Great for kids, toys and books were offered to keep our little one entertained . We would return in a heartbeat. Thanks for a lovely evening Umami x
