Best Bistros in Downham

Lovely place, friendly staff, good food and good value

REALLY ENJOYED everything about Bistro Freddie. Nice greeting on arrival Beautiful setup inside the restaurant - White table cloths always a good sign. Great server who was very mindful of myself and partner… and didn’t rush us or push us into extras Wine not insanely expensive. Food - BEAUTIFUL. Bill - Well I didn’t begrudge it at all - so that’s good Overal. A splendid Monday evening.

Love the Sunday Suppers here. Great staff create convivial informal atmosphere. Goulash was unexpectedly on bone roasted to meltingly tasty with red peppers. Lemon cheese cake entirely decadent.

Great as usual. Please turn the heating on though 🥶

We had some issues with several of the dishes. In particular it seemed the kitchen, on this occasion, struggled to deliver fish dishes that were not far too overcooked - not great when you're asking for things to be rare or medium. And even if you're not asked (as was the case with one of these dishes) they should not be prepared like that. First time here and whilst not a great fan of the low tables and chairs we had an enjoyable time. Until... ca 2.45pm when all of the restaurant, literally every table, became an afternoon tea party. That drastically changes the end of a lunch experience and not for the better. We decided against having a pudding and more wine and fled the scene. Shame. Standout service delivered by Valentina.
