An exceptional French Restaurant in East Molesey, near Hampton Court
In December of 1997 Jean-Philippe and Kim Gravier opened the doors to Le Petit Nantais Bistro in the heart of Hampton Court Village.
“Our idea was to bring traditional French cuisine to our customers in a relaxed and chilled environment, where dressing up or down will always be the norm and the food and wine is the main event.”
25 years later that idea continues, with their family now grown and their talented daughter Victoria working alongside Jean-Philippe creating the real tastes of French food.
Le Petit Nantais Menu
Our ethos at Le Petit Nantais has always been to only use the freshest produce,
locally sourced and as seasonal as possible.
Our Produce

Laurent Le New Boulanger (Baker) from Thames Ditton bakery supplies us with beautiful, tasty, and traditional breads

Buck is a third generation Cornish fisherman who supplies us direct from his fishing boat in Newquay straight to our door. Amazing freshly caught fish and shellfish from the beautiful Cornish coast
Meat
Smithfield still supplies us with some of the best meat produce you could ever find
