    I have been going here on many occasions but was disappointed with the chicken schnitzel which lacked flavour. It was very very noisy too! Still a lovely place though

    We had a lovely lunch on Friday, the staff are very friendly and efficient We ordered hummus with baguette (plus more bread which was super fresh), crab cakes, prawns and beef onglet plus the chicken schnitzel which was particularly delicious so we ordered another one. I cannot praise our waiter enough, nothing was too much trouble - despite us managing to knock over a wine cooler full of melted ice!

    Liked the quirky ambience of the place nestled down by the cathedral and the pulled pork was delicious. Overall however felt it was over-priced for tapas sized portions. Fine but overall our lunch party was disappointed.

    A brilliant find close to Borough Market but far removed from the hustle and bustle. A great place to relax. It'll be even better in the summer

    Have been to the actual venue many times over years and as it has been in various guises. Boro Bistro is perfect for small after work catch-ups without any hustle / bustle but can also cater for larger groups at weekends etc - not sure if there's still a resident DJ at the weekends but the overall vibe is pretty cool, retro paraphernalia and some interesting art-installations dotted around - if you've been, you'll know exactly what these are! Food / drink / service and very attentive, no pushy sell-on for higher priced wines or the need to over order dishes - perfect for our needs and will look forward to a return visit, hopefully in the warmer months when we can sit outside! Thanks for a lovely evening BB 🫶
