Bistro Lotte
Somerset, Frome - French - Restaurant
Coffee and croissants for breakfast; croques, galettes, tartiflette and crêpes for lunch; baked Camembert, boeuf bourguignon and confit duck leg for supper – yes, this old-school bistro is Gallic to the core, a ‘real blast from the past'. Visitors also praise the moules frites, confit chicken terrine, garlicky king prawns and various classic bourgeois desserts ranging from cherry clafoutis to dark chocolate mousse with Chantilly cream. Friendly, welcoming staff add to the lively vibe, which is helped along with dinky carafes of Old World wine and bottles of Wignac ‘cidre rosé’. There's an inviting boutique guesthouse next door, if you fancy lingering in Frome.
