Tartines Cafe

I recently visited this establishment after hearing numerous positive reviews. It offers traditional French cuisine accompanied by attentive service. I would advise familiarizing yourself with the menu, as some dishes may be unfamiliar to those not well-versed in French gastronomy, which might affect their enjoyment. I strongly recommend this restaurant to those who appreciate high-quality dining experiences at reasonable prices. Coffee was bit off which could be reviewed.

Randomly stumbled upon Bastille Day on Sunday when we decided to try out the lunch menu at Tartine French cafe in Eastbourne. They had a two course and three course offering for a very affordable price, our table tried a variety of most of their offerings.nI went with the French onion soup, the macaroni cheese with chicken and the Apple tartin dessert which is the only dessert they had on the menu.nThe French onion soup was my favourite. Usually I don't like them because most places make them very sweet, but their soup was not at all and had a beautiful flavour, however it was not piping hot, I would say it was more like 70°c, it was not so cold that the cheese went solid so that was still fine though.nSome of us ordered the steak which was cooked perfectly with a very nice peppercorn sauce on the side, the pork was a popular dish at our table however the breadcrumb dominated the dish which made the whole dish on the dry side, even though the pork was tender. Our chicken was on the dry side as well, even with chicken thigh. The chicken i was served has a piece of broken bone which is was not aware of, so I accidentally bit into it, can't say it was that pleasant the macaroni was extremely flavourful and was the best part of the dish, next to the fluffy bread that's perfectly toasted on the outside. The dessert was very big but we felt the apple was a bit too much and the sorbet which accompanied were not very refreshing, personally I would have preferred a bit more tart base, more ice cream and less apple, did not really care for the Chantilly cream either but not cos it's bad it's just not my thing. Overall it was good for the price we paid, however as I was made aware that the chef used to be a chef at hippopotamus , I suppose I had higher expectations, I think I would probably return Just for a coffee in the future, they do have one of the best almond croissants I've had!

Honestly.. my FAVORITE cafe .. dog friendly thank YOU! WOOHOO! AND the attention to service is brilliant... Co- owner and head chef Laurent and Camille co-owner/manager are both beautiful people, service driven and serve AMAZING FOOD. Coffee and breakfast divine.. vegetarian options as well... the baguettes and pastries worth the drive out. Then you can walk it off or swim it off at the wharf.nBon appetit!

The team at Tartines are brilliant. A chance visit to Eastbourne,we experienced a lovely place. Nice cups,range of items to choose from. Informative and pleasant Team. The owners . 100% recommend from the afternoon we visited.

What a wonderful experience! Family friendly, accommodating service, a beautiful location and the food was absolutely delicious. The waiting staff helped us find a table for 3 adults, a 5 year old and plenty of space for a double sized pram for our 2 months old twin grandsons. Our whole group loved eating there and we all recommend it highly
