Gorgeous restaurant, gorgeous food!
The food at La Fourchette really exceeded my expectations. It was difficult to decide what to pick from their menu as everything sounded so good and authentic. In the end, we decided on the Salmon Tartare and Duck Liver pate for starters and the Coq au vin for mains. The salmon was beautifully fresh and the burrata complemented the salmon so well with its hint of saltiness.
The duck liver pate came with poached pear for a lovely sweetness, brioche bread which lifted the pate with its buttery richness. I adored the braised chicken and jus of the Coq au vin, this dish brought comfort and homeliness to mind. Service at La Fourcette was also impeccable and the waiters were only too happy to give recommendations. Great range of french wines also available for pairing. If you are after an exquisite French dining experience with great food and wine, I would definitely recommend this place!
Really a charm place to go for, the service is polite and friendly. Ommelate is soooo yummy and pretty. Salmon is so delicious, pizza is delightful, even the sides roast veggies is so good! Definitely will back again with our family and friends, they all enjoyed it very much. Thank you La Fourcherte,give us this wonderful dining experience.

It’s always a good idea to brunch by the beach on a sunny day like this. But I got bored with the mainstream cafes in Mission Bay and decided to explore here.
La Fourchette is a restaurant cafe located on the seaside village of St Heliers. The spacious interior, the shades of cloudy blue walls and the simple yet sophisticated decors contribute to the tranquil ambience.
The solemn cutlery setting added sophistication to the lunch experience. I begain with a almond milk flat white. The overly strong espresso and the plain presentation was a little disappointing.
My lunch arrived soon after the coffee. The Wagyu and Savannah Burger was very delicious. The wagyu patty was rich and juicy with bacon, pickles, onion and a tasty truffle mayo sauce. The brioche bun was firm with a tender crust. The fries were fresh and crispy as well.
You can’t go to a French cafe without trying their crepe. So I ordered a Caramel Crepe. The warm crepe was thinly layered with caramel sauce and hazelnut on top. The vanilla ice cream lightened the sweetness of the caramel and creating a balancing flavour.
The service was excellent, I was served by a lovely French waiter, who patiently waited while I was deciding my order. The waiter was attentive throughout the course and often replenished my water.
Food were priced at the upper end, but a premium lunch experience indeed. I believe they also have high tea and dinner courses available, something that I’d be keen trying next time.

I am a fan of croissants and crepe, so here we go, in this french eatery in st heliers for brunch on a sat, love the vibe in this area , perfect spot to bring our dog and take him for a walk after brunch.
The almond croissant was fresh and not too sweet , we liked it, the crepes is enormous, the breakfast crepe was tasty , however my smoke fish one is a little too salty and dry for me , I would love some creme fraiche to balance it.
I will be back to try their French toast next time!

My family and I visited St Helier’s seeing it was such a nice day to go for a walk. We felt like some good food for lunch so we decided to go to La Fourchette. We were seated quickly and we noticed the interior was really pretty. What I really like about La Fourchette is that we got the option of still or sparkling water (some cafes just give you sparkling and I’m not a fan of that).
I decided to get eggs benedict with bacon without hollandaise sauce, my brother got the burger, my parents shared the du Soleil pizza (like a Hawaiian pizza). We also got the kumara sourdough and garlic pizza bread to share so we got a lot of food (had to takeaway). I tried the garlic pizza bread and it was delicious, quite garlicky and extremely flavourful!! I’d definitely get this again especially since it was only $9 for a massive portion. My eggs benedict tasted great as well, they were quite generous with the bacon (4 strips, most cafes give 2-3 strips). The kumara sourdough with miso brown butter was pretty average, I prefer the garlic pizza bread more.
Highly recommend La Fourchette for good food and great service! I know I’ll be back :)
Convenient location with good availability of parking nearby. Decoration is really nice as well as the French atmosphere. Staff are really helpful with service.
Food was excellent. The steak fillet was really well cooked and seasoned as well as the entree.
Would definitely recommend to all.
Amazing food at La Fourchette! I felt like I was in France tonight after dining there and the staff are all extremely friendly. Love the live music from Club Manouche 😋😋😋 They played The Triplets of Belleville soundtrack, I can't believe it! 😂😂😂 Will definitely come back again ;-)
Very nice place with good food. Went there twice already and also ordered their pizza for takeaway twice. If you don't fancy a full meal, they have a good options for pancakes which my daughter loves.
Excellent food, lovely ambiance and friendly staff. We tried their Prosciutto pizza, garlic pizza, Nutella crepe and fries and they were all delicious. The only setback was the service was a bit slow. They are in a pricey side as well.
