French Affaire in Stony Stratford has launched its new evening menu, served from 5.30pm every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Set just off the High Street in Odell’s Yard, French Affaire already has one of the loveliest spots in Stony Stratford. You can dine indoors in the bright, relaxed restaurant, or sit out on the terrace surrounded by the historic character of the yard.

A Proper Evening Setting

On a warm evening, the terrace has that easy holiday feel. A glass on the table, food arriving slowly, and the courtyard tucked away from the main road. You could almost be in France.

The terrace is not just for summer either. When the weather turns colder, patio heaters and blankets are available, so guests can still enjoy dining outside in comfort.
