Le Frog – St Helens

very good value for money with there 3 courses for 15 pound, first rate food first rate service and finally a jolly nice place to eat. highly recommended.

Amazing place! A little of the beaten track and a bit hard to park but worth the trip. Formally a dance hall I think and lovely inside with its arched ceiling decorated in French Newpaper and a very impressive tall back bar. Some brilliant offers on too on a Monday and Tuesday two courses for a tenner and half prices steaks we has 16 ounce t bone and it was incredable. Very friendly and helpful manager and real fun and great waiting on staff. This is great for couples or groups and of all age groups too. THE best place to eat in St Helens A decent place to eat in St Helens that makes me proud to live here. If there was 10 stars I would award it this! Enough said I think

The best restaurant in St Helens without a doubt. Reasonable prices, friendly and attentive staff, pleasant location near to bus and train station. Always leave pleasantly full and very happy.

i used to love this place used too go all the time, food was fantastic atmosphere was good and staff where attentive, but the last few times i have been have been shocking… my steak was a cremated ball of fat! potatoes where dry and the waiting staff had disappeared into thin air! no1 came over to check our food was ok, or offer us more drinks! we even had to hunt the staff down to order desserts! the service hadn’t improved 3 weeks later when i returned! i havent been since! such a shame i used to love this restaurant when it opened, what happened?

I hate frogs, but I like this place. Never really been a fan of French cuisine, more weird than wonderful I’m afraid. However I was told the menu also carries a Mediterranean twist which worked in its favour!
I was unable to find my peace with the décor of the place, yes the décor is quirky but is it cool? I wasn’t so sure… you’ll have to decide yourself.
The food, well again I must say if I’m honest I have had better. It lacked substance I thought. Perhaps the French have over the years had so much red wine with their food that their taste buds have been filed down. My marinated breast of chicken lacked a bit of umph! The lemon, thymed and garlic chicken was served on roast vegetable cous cous with chive crème fraîche. I’m not sorry at all that my taste buds are absolute whores!!! Yes they are, they have been around the block and indulged in every fit cuisine around and had their way ever which way. This meal didn’t quite do it for me. Having said that I did only try one of the mains and I’d like to try some of the other ones.
Perhaps an update is needed. I’m sorry froggy it takes more than a decent décor to impress me son!!! We’ll meet again and we ‘ll see if seconds are any better!

Really nice place & one of me & my friend’s favourites. Good service & tasy food at a very affordable price. Never had a bad meal.

Within the George Street Cultural Quarter, Le Frog Bistro (crazy name!) serves a wide selection of modern English & Mediterranean dishes. It’s basically British food with a french accent! The restaurant is huge, with really high ceilings and so great for big groups. You could visit Le Frog for one of their cabaret evenings for a night to remember. They are held on the last Friday of every month, with three courses plus caberet for £24 — thai fishcakes, charred loin of tuna and hot chocolate pudding! On an ordinary day, there is lots to choose from, so I don’t think you will be struggling. The frog platters look good, although I haven’t tried them. If you are wanting to go but want a cheap deal, Tuesday night Le Frog offers two courses for £10. Bargain!

Is this… wrong? Or is it tongue-​in-​cheek? Ah, of course, it’s very tongue-​in-​cheek. Le Frog focuses on British food and gives it a French twist. First of all, the place is decorated spiffingly. Literally. Spiffingly. It’s astonishingly gorgeous, just my kind of quirky décor — a ceiling plastered in newspaper, lovely quaint wooden features, neutral and pastel colours… the whole thing looks like it could have come out of a Hans Christian Anderson story.
There are plenty of French favourites on offer like starters of a twice baked cheese soufflé, French onion soup gratin, tartlet with spring vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms and spinach, and more unusual options such as black pudding with chicken roulade, Thai fishcakes, potted shrimp with warm brown toast and hot smoked salmon or tempura veg. I’d call it a more Modern European affair to be honest with its additional pastas and risottos (the spaghetti with salmon and lobster is just heavenly indulgence) and you can have these in small or large portions. The sharing platters are excellent value and mains like lamb shank, duck breast, baked chicken, pork trio, a filo parcel of sun-​blushed tomato, goat’s cheese and spinach, all of which occupy the fusion cuisine spectrum Le Frog seems to operate within. Oh and there’s steaks for the super carnivorous.
The side orders aren’t just supporting actors here, they’re stars. Veg are cooked perfectly al dente, the broccoli hollandaise is delicious, I’d highly recommend the breads with dips and you can get potatoes in many forms — French fries, Cajun fries, garlic and chive mash and even the garlic bread comes in three varieties. All of these are stonkingly good value at under £3 each!
Sorry about the dreadful pun, but I’m hopping crazy for Le Frog. See if you agree.
