    My food was a great disappointment. Dry and overcooked. Perhaps older food warmed up ? waitress did not come to the table after a few minutes to make sure all was in order.

    The French Connection Bistro responded on Fri 05 Jun 26:
    Dear Dalene Thanks for your feedback. I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy your meal. The management team assures me your party was checked on during your main meal and everyone said they were happy. It's a great pity you didn't let us know that you were unhappy, we would have gladly made your pork belly again or offered you a different choice. We would like to have had the opportunity for you to leave happy and satisfied. We don't serve old food warmed up at our Bistro. Everything is cooked to order and from the very top drawer of long standing suppliers. One again my humble apologies you didn't enjoy your food. We hope to see you again and offer you the very best French Connection experience. Regards Matthew (Owner)

    Was disappointed there were no mussels (because yours are absolutely sublime) but totally understand. My second choice was as good 👌🏽

    The French Connection Bistro responded on Tue 02 Jun 26:
    Many thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately the fresh mussel stock from Saldanha has been withdrawn by the supplier for the next few weeks, and won't see a frozen one on our menu. Glad to see you enjoyed the alternative you choice.
