Best Bistros in Southwater

Good quality food. Miss the smoked salmon that use to be on tje menu but non the less a good choice especially for gluten free diet. Excellent service

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Bistro Freddie, flavourful cooking done really well. Service team were also wonderful with a warm lively atmosphere.

Having walked past this restaurant for decades and always long to go in I was not disappointed. It still has the feel of Soho in the last century but with delicious modern food and a relaxed atmosphere with attentive but not intrusive staff. The drinks in particular are exceedingly good value and the food was perfect – not too fussy but interesting and just slightly more complicated than you’d ever make it home so a real treat to have out. We were delighted with the whole experience.

Lovely Sunday lunch served by very enthusiastic attentive server. We had the Sunday roast for 4 and it was very tasty and plenty for us. A nice touch was the provision of a ‘doggy bag’ so that nothing was wasted. The particular advantage for us was that our wives are put off by a stacked plate, so could put on their plate what they wanted from the main bowl. The only feedback we could give is that in our opinion, the midweek food doesn’t leave many options for a ‘light lunch’ such as sandwiches or toasted sandwiches or soup.

As ever delicious food and great service, plus a very tasty Malbec…
