Bistro Freddie offers "excellent service and food" with a chic Parisian atmosphere. Diners rave about the "amazing steak tartar" and delightful gnocchi. While some found the prices high, the "cosy, candlelit" setting and "friendly staff" create a wonderful dining experience perfect for special occasions or a casual night out.

    We were really looking forward to this place and booked a month in advance. Unfortunately, it seems to have been a victim of its own success. We were running a bit late and called the restaurant to tell them we’d be 10 or 15 mins after the booking time. They were very keen to stress how that would mean we’d have less time on our table. When we arrived, they barely said hello before reminding us we’d have less time on our table. They ended up giving us more time on the table though… so the panic seemed unnecessary. Overall staff felt like they were very rushed and everyone was packed in. When I went to collect my coat, customers coats came were thrown everywhere by the doorway. Food was really average. Quite a limited drinks menu. My chicken was quite basic and the sauce was very salty. Friend’s steak was incorrectly cooked and when it was sent back, took another 10 minutes to come back. Would not return – just felt like they were trying to turn covers around as quickly as possible and food is overhyped and overpriced. Over £100 a head-hugely disappointing. Oh. And they charge a pound each for filter tap water. Apparently because of the way it’s filtered…

    Everything was great, only slight negative was that we were sat by the window and there was a bit of a draft coming through so it wasn’t that warm. Otherwise everything else was superb.

    The restaurant was very particular about our arrival, yet we waited 50 minutes for mains. During this period, no one checked on us or explained the delay. When we did flag someone down, we were blamed for failing to order starters. Eventually, our food arrived. The fish was well prepared, the chicken was inedible. Highly recommended- the cabbage. The best part of an otherwise disappointing meal. Could not wait to leave.

    Attentive staff and a nice atmosphere; food was good but not great and overpriced for the quality of ingredients eg steak tartare lacked flavour and was overloaded by tiny pieces of fried bread. The mains lacked real depth of flavour but were enjoyable. I enjoyed but not enough to return.

    Lucky enough to try it through a Jan promotion - excellent food, wine, service, atmosphere. Very chic and Parisian. Look forward to coming back.
