Reviews in Birkenhead

Always busy which is a good sign. Good food. Very reasonably priced. The garlic bread with cheese is fantastic! The portions are large so beware but they do a smaller version of most things which is a good idea! The sweet trolley is still a favourite as you get to see what you are actually ordering and there is always a good variety to choose from! Friendly service. Would try it!

We are regulars at Yiamas and, having visited 7 of the Greek islands over the past eight years, we can tell you through experience that the quality of food and service here is consistently excellent. This is by far the best Greek restaurant on Wirral (and possibly the whole of Merseyside) and I cannot recommend it enough.

This is the best meal we have ever eaten. We went on a Saturday night for our wedding anniversary with high expectations and were not disappointed. We opted for the Bespoke menu and everything that came from the kitchen ( and there were many, many courses) was an absolute delight. The service was friendly and incredibly efficient from knowledgeable staff and the atmosphere was relaxed. We are still talking about our fantastic evening and can't wait to go back. Can't recommend highly enough.

London prices in Birkenhead, someone is making a killing!!! Draught Heineken and San Miguel yuk, I've tasted better siphoning petrol.

Absolutely gorgeous food - the best Chinese we've ever had.

Overall a lovely experience, the food is innovative and exciting, the wine is superb and the restaurant is intimate. While we understand others' concerns about the waitresses, we felt that they had been well trained and that the service was excellent.

A small restaurant with fabulous food. The tea time special banquet is great value for money. Its definitely worth a try.

Not your average Indian restaurant. Many unusual and tasty choices you don? often find in your average Indian restaurant. Also very good for vegetarians.

excellent taste and value for money

this is a great new 'indian' has opened recently next door to sainsburys in prenton. i say 'indian' but this is something different. they serve south indian food from kerala. much lighter than you're average curry house and much much tastier! go try it now!!

Absolutely fantastic food. great atmosphere .Restaurant has changed hands but same level of excellence ... feels like you are in Greece and the kleftiko is to die for ...must try it you wont be disappointed

It was our first visit to fraiche and having eaten in Michelin starred restaurants before I was very surprised that Marc Wilkinson has not yet got a star. It was obvious that fraiche is worthy of a star before you even begin to eat. The service was outstanding. The girl running front of house was young but knowledgeable. We where having the tasting menu and as we did not know what we were eating we asked her to recommend wines and to our surprise she recommended great wines which complimented the food brilliantly and they weren't pricey either. The wine list is unbelievable! So much choice but it was broken down into sections which tell you the body of the wine so it makes life easier for the people who aren? knowledgeable on wines. The food is unbelievable aswell. as the night goes on it gets better and better. i had the foie gras which was the best foie gras i have ever tasted and for mains i had the lamb. it was cooked perfectly you just cannot fault the food. fraiche is an god send to the Wirral and hopefully it will encourage other chefs to improve the food reputation on the Wirral and start cooking great food like Marc Wilkinson does.

Finally got around to eating in this remote gaff. The staff are young and quite lovely but it needs a Front of House Frenchy, Mainly to book end the food. The Food. The Food? Brilliant. This is a restaurant of truly class gastomic pieces. Its a small place, Its quiet with background music and thankfully there was a large and loud table in - a French restaurant should not be in hushed tones - but this is not a fault of the place, Even if it was - it would be eclipsed by this guys grub. If it doesn? get a Michelin star (it is a rising star now (hence us going from Manchester) its a sin. But all them plaudits and awards aside - serious posh nosh with a very good list

Unfortunately in the interest of balance i feel i should reveiw this highly recommended restaurant. Having scoured the press and web for a new place to try for my wifes birthday i chanced upon Fraiche, recommended by many. The menu looked expansive and what we would usually look for and the pictures on line showed a lovely dining area. I booked it. The food was great...... the place was pretentious and run like a clinical experiment. Two very young staff ran front of house without a smile between them and announced every part of the meal as though it was an art exhibition. We were even told which way to eat the cheese course and at what point to drink the liqueur served with it! There were only 5 tables in the "front room" eating area and only 3 were occupied incluing us. No ambiance, no convivial, relaxing atmosphere. The food was great tasting but as always in these "art gallery" restaurants 2 scallops cut in half for a starter and similar main courses are just not enough for non-super models. The menu was 3 starters and 3 entrees, 1 of each being a vegetarian option. If you didn't like lamb or monk fish you had to leave. "when does the menu change" we asked in case we dared to return. "when Mark feels like it" was the reply "It might be tuesday....it might not" (Informative) Having eaten expansively around the world and at many "celebrity chef" restaurants it is a shame that an obviously talented chef has got to that point where he is cooking for inspectors and himself rather than his paying guests!

I have been living in Birkenhead now for 34 years and this is the beat Indian restaurant that I have been to. It offers excellent value for money and the food is always 2nd to none. It is sometimes hard to get hold of a table on the weekends so would recommend to book a table in advance. Would recommend this place always to my family and friends.

Good place to go for a pub meal. The new menu offers more than just traditional pub food while still being in a pub atmosphere.

degseysmallson my first visit to fraiche I have to say that the food was good, cooked by a confident chef who knows what he's doing, although I thought the bread was one of the more memorable parts of the meal. But all this talk of Michelin could backfire for various reasons (it took me back to my last dentist visit) to sum up the atmosphere, and those poor girls must be exhausted everyday getting up for school. This restaurant needs a (face) to take you through your evening and get the vibe in check, so that the overall experience is one to remember (and if Michelin do arrive, girls polenta is definitely not a vegetable!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite restaurant, the food and staff are honestly great!
