Batifoler means 'to romp or to lark about; to flirt'- appropriate descriptors of this cheerful suburban bistro. Quality, well-priced Gallic classics are prepared and served by an all-French staff, encouraging diners to pull out their dodgy high school French in order to completely capture the French experience. The dishes have a predominantly hearty provincial flavour, with occasional Mediterranean notes from France's southern neighbours.

Maybe better on a weeknight?
This was my second time to this restaurant. Looks like there was a bit of a makeover - the divisions make the place look and feel better. I booked for 7.30 on a Saturday night but they said they would prefer 8.00 - thinking that they must stagger their service so they can cope better. Anyway, arrived at 8.00 along with a few other groups. I was very hungry so wanted to get my order in before the larger groups. Asked the waitress to take our order but she said she would tell the waiter (apparently this wasn't her role). I watched her and she never told the main waiter we were ready to give our order. So the main waiter didn't get to us until 8.30 after taking everyone elses order. Was extremely hungry at this stage and not very happy so asked it the kitchen was so busy that it would take ages for our meals to come out. He said no, shouldn't take long. An hour later, we were served our dinner. The waitress brought out wrong meals to different tables. She was absolutely hopeless. She took our order for desserts but then asked the main waiter to take our order because presumably she didn't understand. I watched her stuff up orders for other tables. Anyway, food was pretty good... very homely. Yes it was Saturday night and it was a full house, but that's never any excuse for poor service. Perhaps they were understaffed that night and the waitress was a fill in... I would like to think so and would give this place the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure on a less busy night there would be no issues with service.
