My wife and I plus our small dog, always enjoy a coffee here. As it was a sunny morning we sat outside on this occasion. We chatted to the couple on the next table whilst enjoying our beverages.The staff are always extremely pleasant and polite.If you enjoy a slice of cake they always have a delicious selection to choose from.

Met a friend here recently for a coffee and a catch up on a very cold Saturday morning. The tables were stating that they were reserved for lunchtime bookings, however as we were much earlier, we were permitted to sit there and enjoy our coffee and people watch, the shoppers in Church Street. The home baked cakes are always delicious and so is the lunchtime menu. It’s always a delight to have some time in their courtyard to dine al fresco when the weather is fine too. Great polite service with friendly staff.Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian selectionsKid-friendliness: This cafe always welcomed children

Popped in for a spot of brunch. Recommend scrambled eggs on sourdough bread (£7, 3 large eggs) - it was filling, perfectly cooked, delicious. Very pleasant welcome, good coffee and tea. Tasty lunchtime specials too. Recommend reserving a table at lunch time as many were reserve for later. They will squeeze you in but ask that you do make the table available for the reservation time.

Meal a present from family, slow to serve us, but once order taken service improved. Not the warmest place to sit and eat.
- Food average, including the frozen oven chips- Service pleasant but delivery of food very slow- Very small venue loid atmosphere with maximum amount of tables squeezed in.

Booked a table for lunch on this lovely little restaurant, with a friend. We had the opportunity to have a good catch up over a delicious lunch of cheese quiche with caramelised onions, salad and new potatoes. The food was delicious, the service top notch and the ambience is always lovely here. We had a coffee to finish off the meal which is always good here.

What a gem, mid week lunch with my husband and we were not disappointed. Food was amazing, we sat outside in the lovely courtyard with a chilled glass of wine, perfect. We will definitely be visiting La Madeleine’s again..and again.

From outside, a modest little eatery in a narrow street in Hereford. But what a gastronomic experience!I have been fortunate to enjoy food in some famous establishments, including recently Ynyshir in mid-Wales, which was fabulous. However, the dinner provided to me and my motorcycling buddy by Ed, chef-patron at La Madeleine, came a very close second. The ‘beef three ways’ looked gorgeous served on a wooden platter. The piece of steak was cooked perfectly and was exploding with flavour. The cylinder of compressed pulled beef cheek was similarly flavoursome and covered with intensely crunchy panko breadcrumbs, adding a welcome textural contrast. The little pot of baby onions and slow-cooked beef was sublime in its buttery unctuousness. The chips were the best I have ever tasted (and that includes Ynyshir).Our waitress, Evelyn-May, was utterly delightful and coped gracefully with a bit of gentle banter from two old men. She found time to chat with us warmly and made us feel welcome and nurtured. We loved her hair!I am busy planning a second visit even though it will involve travelling again from Northern Ireland, to allow my wife to experience this very special little restaurant. As long as Ed can promise to cook us the same dish to precisely the same standard.
