Had the loveliest evening here with my fiancé during our holiday visit to Bideford, after a silly mix up with our booking (my fiancé booking for 5:30 when they don’t open till 6) Lydia was extremely sweet on the phone and helped us to sort it all out . We arrived to a very warm welcome with a free appetiser of fish soup which was lush, given plenty of time to choose our food and drinks, complementary table water and a bowl for the dog. We ordered steak with extra prawns which was unfaultable, cooked to perfection with a lovely salad and the blue cheese sauce was to die for ??. Rioca wine was delicious perfect , ambiance was calm, friendly and romantic just what we needed . Great prices for such a lovely fresh and well seasoned meal . Will definitely visit again . Was lovely to see Florian the chef as well who came to check our food was good ??. Thankyou so much for a lovely evening all the best for your future in your lovely little world that is Le petit monde . Much love Amie and scott

What a great find this was, we booked based on the Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed! Such a relaxed, informal and friendly dining experience, with the most delicious food. Cooked oysters and scallops were both amazing starters, paella and fish of the day were really yummy main courses. We didn’t really have room for anything else but…chocolate mousse and a cheeseboard made the perfect end to a wonderful meal. Great wines at reasonable prices. We booked to return while we were there and can’t wait to go back.

We had our Cornwall relatives visiting so we planned a special dinner, and special it was.. we had seen the Cote de Boeuf advertised on Facebook and that was a must!! We also had the spiced lamb and goats cheese salad as mains and just tucked in. Starters were the prawns and Chilli Cornishons. Desserts were Affrigatos all round . Lydia and Florian were perfect hosts. Need to go back to try the seafood as this was a tremendous meat fest...

A amazing restaurant, Lydia and Florian made us feel very welcome. Food was excellent, we really enjoyed our meals, scallop carpaccio a must try and rib-eye steak cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this superb restaurant in Bideford.

This small French restaurant in Bideford is a delight. It’s run by Lydia and Florian. Lydia looks after the front of house and Florian does the excellent food. It’s delightfully small and intimate and the six of us had a superb evening. Lydia is a wonderful host.. nothing too much trouble. The food was simply excellent. Heavy emphasis on seafood with a truly fantastic dover sole as centrepiece. Vegetarians are catered for by an option on each course but the team will happily adapt a meal for you. Really recommend a visit.

We went along on a cold, wet November Thursday evening, and had dinner there. There were a lot of people eating in the restaurant, which is a good sign. Service was very good, and we had a double-order of oysters which were delicious, and the sardines, and the moules. A couple of creme brûlées finished it off - all all under £100, including wine. Highly recommended and we will be back.
Loved it! C'est magnifique! Pre-orderd the lobster and so pleasently surprised to get the full lobster each, no stealing away the claws (which were shelled for you so no mess!). Very interesting menu as well, definitely not your avergae eatery for sure. For any pudding eaters you MUST order the creme brulee which was out of this world. I had the chocolate mousse which whilst delicious left me with some food envy! If you like good food cooked perfectly this is for you. If you just wants steak and chips then it's probably not for you. Perfect for fish/shellfish lovers.

Fantastic meal. Booking required for a Saturday night. Lydia the perfect front of house host from the moment we walked through the door. Food excellent - probably one of the best steaks I have ever had. Despite the restaurant being full, Lydia made time to chat with us and recommended a superb wine to go with our meal. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bideford.

Glorious small French restaurant in Bideford. Proved to be an inspitred choice. The food was excellent and the service was truly great. I hope that they go from strength to strength. We only saw very happy diners and the couple who run the restaurant are charming. Don't know why, but we had expected much more of a seafood offering - possibly because of Bidefords's maritime history. As it was, the menu was more balanced, and every item chosen was exquisite. Thanks so much.

We were delighted we tried this lovely French restaurant. Friendly, welcoming and unhurried. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening - food and atmosphere was exceptional. The oysters I ordered for starters were incredibly fresh and followed by one of the best, wonderfully cooked Dover Soles I have ever eaten. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her sirloin steak with frites, followed by a very authentic creme brulee. We have already reserved a table for another evening!

Really enjoyed our evening at Le Petit Monde. On arrival we were welcomed in to an intimate and cosy restaurant and made to feel so comfortable immediately. We had mussels and beef to start which were both excellent, and then the Fruit de Mer and Salade Chèvre Chaud. Again both of which were superb! Everything about the whole evening at Le Petit Monde was perfect. Service, food and atmosphere. We will definitely be returning and bringing family with us next time.
