    Meeting with friends before Christmas we wanted to find a venue which wasn’t offering a “festive menu”. The Bistrot retained its usual menu and offer of 2 or 3 courses at a very reasonable cost, especially in such close proximity to Christmas. We were also delighted to be seated in a quieter part of the restaurant (being a group of 5) which allowed us to chat and hear one another (again not always easy to find at this time of year). There was a very good choice of dishes available from the menu; service was efficient but we were not rushed, and we would certainly return again and recommend to others.

    We had a fabulous lunch at Le Bistrot today. The food was superb - not pretentious or overly fancy, just great ingredients, beautifully cooked. The staff were attentive and courteous.

    Went for the lunch deal and had goat cheese quiche to start which was nice but crust quite tough like it had possibly been micrwaved to warm it up. Sea bass main was nicely done with baby carrots and potatoes. Sauce quite bland though. Mint tea rounded it all off. Service was pleasant and efficient.
