  • Outstanding value
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
Not far from Leicester Square and Shaftesbury Avenue, the Frith Street location of this restaurant is handy for pre-theatre, post-movie meals. For hearty Mediterranean food and a no-nonsense, unpretentious vibe, Bistro1 is also a fun venue for informal lunches, office parties and lively nights out with groups of friends. The dining room is colourful and the restaurant's service is super-friendly, but Bistro1's menu itself is the main attraction, crammed with old-fashioned favourites such as fish and chips, bangers and mash and chargrilled sardines. We love the pan-fried tuna steak with sautéed cherry tomatoes, garlic sauce and rice; the Mediterranean-style meat Moussaka with rice and salad; and the sticky and delicious homemade banoffee pie.

    Been many times and can't fault it. Outstanding value, varied menu with lots of choices, excellent service. Lovely colourful décor and cosy. There is also limited outside pavement area for dining. A gem in the heart of London.

    First time here, food was really good and will definitely go back again. Quite a small place so maybe book first. The only thing I can think of as a downfall would be that we felt the staff tried to rush us a bit towards the end of the meal, hovering asking if we need anything but that won't be putting me of going back :)

    Been here on many occasions with groups of friends. Did not disappoint. Friendly service. This is friendly reasonably priced restaurant, in the heart of Soho. Great if you won't an inexpensive evening to catch up with friends.

    Lovely place with friendly service. Food was excellent but my steak of choice was not done to my taste. It was not tender and much of it was inedible. It was not appropriate to return it in view of the company and occasion I was enjoying. However I would definitely recommend the Bistro 1 and we will return when next in London.

    As always attentive friendly service They only letdown was the quality of the white wine We tried both the house and Chardonnay, both very disappointing.

    Perfect for a pre-theatre dinner. Good service and very reasonably priced tasty food. Cosy and comfortable restaurant.
