Square Meal review of Fraiche:
From the outside it’s not immediately clear just what lies behind the frosted shopfront of Fraiche in Oxton, a pretty village-like enclave in not-so-pretty Birkenhead. A hairdresser? A beauty parlour? Only the sign in the window proclaiming ‘Future French’ hints as to what lies within: a small but perfectly formed restaurant serving modern, even futuristic, fine French cuisine. Dishes such as a veloute of cauliflower & coconut with mussels, mains of brill with shellfish cream, & desserts like sweet & sour pineapple with poppy seed parfait are skilful, & subtly rendered rather than showy. The wine list is well matched to the food, with plenty to choose from for under £30, as well as a nice selection of half bottles, & sherries by the glass. Tea drinkers will relish the range of teas, from Mount Fuji green tea to first flush single estate Darjeeling. Fraiche may be low-key, but it’s quietly concentrating on getting all the details just right.
