Best Bistros in Primrose Hill/Chalk Farm

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very welcoming and the dinner we had was absolutely divine. We loved the manuscript menu of the day, something unusual but delightful. As a starter, I loved the poached skate salad with chicory and capers. Very tasteful. As a main, I choose a Guinea Fowl supreme with kale and turnips. Delicious and comforting for the winter season. For the dessert, I took the rice pudding with quince. I loved it although it is a “tour de force” to finish a meal with such a dessert. I must admit that the matching of both ingredients is really superb. The wine list is very interesting and I must say the prices, also for the menu, are really correct, specially in London were the prices tend to become very expensive. The waitress and the manager were very nice and relaxed, although the restaurant was very busy. We loved the place very much because it is very characterful and different from the general offer.

Late booking and the were able to fit us in. Lovely spacious restaurant and we used the pre theatre menu. Decent choice food good, but drinks a bit pricey! Especially for a bottle of water! But overall a pleasant experience.

Bistro Freddie was a delight. Great room, very helpful staff and the food was ace

Absolutely loved the vibe in lowdown. Especially the 80’s style Christmas decorations. Food was delicious and filling and good quality, tasty coffee. Can’t wait to go back xx

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.
