http://www.london-eating.co.uk/24744.htm Bistrotheque Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating 6 of us headed there for a meal for my birthday, after receiving a slightly frosty reception over the phone when I attempted to change the time everything else was good. We had drinks in the bar downstairs first- a great selection of beers, including Mythos a favourite from many a Greek holiday! Then upstairs for dinner. Very minimalist and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm For an easy lazy enjoyable Saturday experience: Five of us went for a jaunt down Vyner street to check out the galleries and enjoy some 'art'. We then headed to the discreet entrance of Bistrotheque around 3.30 pm. Although it was half an hour to their shutting time (open till 4 pm for brunch and then open again from 6.30 pm), the staff were ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm I am a true hackney local and really love to sing the praises of our district. As such I have always dragged friends and foes down the dodgy street to enjoy bistrotheque. However my last two visits have left me a little dissapointed. I dont know what has happened but it seems to have lost somethig quite special. My last visit, a friday night, ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm I went for Sunday brunch and it was fabulous. A real mix of people and the very talented pianist added to the atmosphere. The food was in good portions and really tasty - the seasoning was faultless and the combinations truly great (scrambled eggs and chorizo, anyone?). And I don't know what people mean by it being expensive - it's not your ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm This was our second visit to Bistrotheque. Our first visit had been very enjoyable but rather cut short due to the bar being reserved for a private party and we were keen to work our way through their cocktail list. Being Easter it was much quieter than before and we definitely did benefit from the additional attention that the waiters were ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm Definitely a place to go for the whole dining experience - great atmosphere, loud and bustling, fantastic service - the food is OK but nothing extra special. My salad of blue cheese was a good start but both my husband and I struggled with the pork belly in beans. My piece was particularly dry and I had difficulty getting through it - the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm I have to say the review below stands out alone among many raving customers, and i have a to agree with the majority. I visited Bistrotheque on saturday night as a party of 7 and we had the best time available regardless of east or west end! The staff were nothing but exceptional, and nothing we requested seemed to much trouble, despite being a ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm Overrated. I went there recently the other week and thought the food while definitely not unpleasant was simply average - and rather overpriced for what it was. Definitely an east-end restaurant emulating west-end named places and sticking up their prices to match. Steer clear of the foie gras - was truly awful, we had to send it back, yet low ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm I appreciate they must get this all the time but after I visited bistrotheque for the first time this Sunday afternoon I felt compelled to write. The serving staff are the most hospitable, un-assuming, non-intrusive but all ways to hand team of waiters that I have ever come across in London. They could not do enough for us, even though half our ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm Went there this morning for brunch. We had never been there before and the entrance was a little confusing as it wasn't clearly pointed out and I ended up on the toilets (the restaurant is upstairs). We there first ones there so we were told we had a choice of where to sit. Tip: don't sit near the window on a sunny day as it will be baking hot. ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/4071.htm
