We had an absolutely fantastic lunch here. The server was incredibly polite and attentive, which paired perfectly with the outstanding quality of the food. We tried the lunch set, which was exceptional value and beautifully prepared. We also ordered the sesame prawn hash—which was packed with flavor and expertly cooked—and the Aberdeen Angus sirloin. While the steak took a little time to prepare, it was cooked to absolute perfection and undoubtedly worth the wait. Overall, this restaurant delivers top-tier food and hospitality. We highly recommend it and will certainly be returning!

From the second we came through the door we were treated wonderfully by the staff. The food and wine were excellent - trying Puglian cuisine has opened up new avenues for me to explore - superb. The best Italian food I have eaten and the service was simply perfect.

I loved everything about Oui Madame. The food and wine was delicious and the service was great. Charming servers and lovely, relaxed ambience. Delightful, cosy setting. I appreciated that they had really good vegan options as an integral to the menu. So refreshing not to have to ask specially and/or end up with a default, uninspired vegan offering. We also appreciated not being rushed and the absence of loud music. Just great food, wine and conversation. Perfection. Chef's Kiss!

Such a great experience! The food and service were fantastic, and everyone was super friendly. Having a live DJ in the background really made the vibe. Highly recommend!
