Milton Keynes wins best Business Lunch Award...

We are delighted to announce that Brasserie Blanc, Milton Keynes has recently won MKWeb BEST BUSINESS LUNCH AWARD.

At an awards ceremony held at the Ramada Encore in the HubMK, the winners of the Restaurant of the Year were announced. Over 30,000 votes were cast by the people of Milton Keynes and area in this exciting competition. The overall winner was Las Iguanas who also picked up the award for best newcomer.

Judges commented that the dishes from Brasserie Blanc’s a la carte menu were “Well prepared and presented. Of particular merit was the fact that the steak ordered was well trimmed and cooked exactly as requested, the service was reliable and efficient with lots of smiles and the atmosphere is very relaxed, light and airy - very much in keeping with the French brasserie theme. This venue represented very good value by way of the set lunch with wine but also had an extensive wine list with prices that were reasonable within all categories”.

Stephen Murray from MKWeb spoke to Valerie Lemetaye, GM and commented “This award is truly deserved, and by your reaction, it simply showed how much effort you’ve put in to serving great food, with great service and within a great atmosphere”

WELL DONE VALERIE AND THE TEAM AT BRASSERIE BLANC!!
