Described as a ‘hidden gem’, Simply Poussin is Alex Aitken’s original Brockenhurst restaurant and occupies a special place at the heart of the Poussin business. Quietly tucked away in a mews behind Brookley Road, and set in a colourful flower-filled courtyard, Simply Poussin represents a simple, informal style of dining with the same high standards of the Le Poussin Restaurant.

Simply Poussin enjoys a reputation for cuisine of the very highest standard, served in relaxed, informal surroundings. Following a recent refurbishment, the looks may have changed after 24 years, but the passion for fine food remains.
The menus reflect the seasons and incorporate the freshest produce, locally sourced wherever possible, and follow the ethos to serve the very best of food at very ordinary prices.

Classic dishes are imaginatively interpreted and elegantly presented; long-standing favourite soufflés continue to add the lightest of touches to the daily and à la carte menus. To complement the food take a look at the accompanying wine list, or if you prefer, ask the expert staff for their recommendations.

Booking is highly advised to avoid disappointment, as this small restaurant and courtyard is extremely popular with locals.
