A taste of France in Milton Keynes

French character, Stony Stratford charm

French Affaire sits behind Stony Stratford High Street in the historic surroundings of Odell’s Yard. Its bright conservatory, elegant dining room and colourful terrace give the restaurant a distinctive sense of place: polished enough for a celebration, yet relaxed enough for lunch or an easy catch-up.

The kitchen’s approach is rooted in classic French flavours and careful presentation, with separate daytime and evening menus, a dedicated children’s menu, drinks and wine, and a French-inspired afternoon tea served throughout the week by advance booking.

Daytime at French Affaire

Croques, crêpes and French favourites

The daytime menu moves easily between lighter dishes and a full lunch. Expect house-baked baguettes, omelettes, French toast and croques alongside steak frites, confit duck leg, beef bourguignon, seafood bouillabaisse, salads, savoury crêpes and desserts.

It is a broad, flexible selection for anything from coffee and a sweet crêpe to a leisurely lunch with wine. Vegetarian dishes and vegan options are marked on the official menu.

Menu items, prices and availability can change. Check the official menu for the latest selection and tell the team about allergies or intolerances when ordering.

French Affaire’s outdoor terrace in the historic Odell’s Yard

Dine indoors or outside

A colourful terrace hidden behind the High Street

The terrace runs through the brick-lined surroundings of Odell’s Yard, with planted seating areas, awnings and a pergola. Patio heaters and blankets help keep the space comfortable when the temperature falls, extending the appeal beyond the warmest days.

Inside, chandeliers, vivid orange seating and tropical-print upholstery create an equally memorable backdrop. Both spaces suit brunch, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, subject to the day’s service and availability.
