Great deal available (2 courses for £18) most days. The pork was a bit overcooked as it was served on a scalding hot plate for some reason but it was still tasty. My dad had a similar issue with a well done steak that should have been rare and the staff replaced the whole dish without a fuss. Would return.

Excellent all round. Enjoyed a quiet birthday meal with my wife. Dan, who served us, was quiet, respectful, and professional, yet also friendly—couldn’t ask for more in a waiter. The food was delicious and arrived piping hot.

The atmosphere was good and location is lovely but that’s probably as far as it goes for a great meal out. The food was average and tastes did not really pop out to me but worse still was the service… it was not memorable at all. The person who served us spoke only to one person who he believed will pay the bill and that was how we decided to keep it.

We went with some girlfriends for their bistro evening , the menu looked interesting for the prices. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed by the whole experience. The food was very average, and portions, smalls , and services were ok. They tried to accommodate some of the dietary requests, which was appreciated, but then the waiter never knew what he had in his hand before putting the plates down. The worst was probably the tomato salad, which looked more like a side with the biggest slice of shallots in it. The best dish was the chocolate mousse. Finally, our waiter, which was kind of ok , suddenly was super nice at the end when it was time to pay and then gave us a card so we could leave feedback about him... nice try ! 🤪 I might go back, though, to try their normal menu or lunch menu, which looked much better !

I held my friend’s surprise baby shower at Bistrot Pierre in leamington Spa, back in July and it was amazing. The staff were incredible, the venue was gorgeous and the food was delicious. I cannot thank the staff enough for their help, a special mention goes to the GM who was an absolute gem. He helped me decorate the venue in between helping customers and provided me caffeine when needed. Then there was our server Philippe and his assistant Pierre, he was a total gem and made sure we had everything we needed for a truly wonderful afternoon, he was attentive, funny and fabulous! They even went out and purchased Gluten Free options for someone who had informed me only a few days before that they were GF, so that they didn’t miss out. Afterwards those who attended were contacting and telling me how much they had enjoyed the event and loved the food, the venue and the Bistrot Pierre team. A huge thank you for making the occasion truly memorable and a 10 out of 10! All in all I cannot recommend Bistrot Pierre in Leamington enough, if you are searching for the perfect venue for any celebration, then you need to book here!!!!

The chef is a genius, the food was perfection. The waiting staff are absolutely lovely, we were served by Raphaël and another gent (I’m sorry we didn’t get your name), both provided excellent service. The 6 course tasting menu we did was also amazing value for what we were given. The fish stew was my absolute favourite course, but the harissa carrot soup and chocolate mousse were close runners up. Thanks so much guys, you should all be proud of yourselves.

We were a group of 4 good friends here tonight. The service was great. Phillipe couldnt have been nicer, he was helpful, attentive, friendly & entertaining without being intrusive. A real sweetheart. The tables werent too close together, we could hear hear each other speak which you cant always in some restraunts. The food was absolute delicious, we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. This has always been one of our favourites places to dine but we hadnt been for a while because so many new restraunts opening that we wanted to try, which we have done but here we are back again at our old and still favourite restraunt in Leamington. We look forward to returning.

Thought we d pop into Bistro Pierre for some lunch as we d not been before and have been saying we d like to try it for a while. Having been there now, I doubt we ll be going again. My partner had the fish cake niçoise and I had the mussels in white wine sauce and truffle frites. Unfortunately, the fish cake was lacking in flavour and the dish, as a whole was very underwhelming. The sauce that the mussels were cooked in was tasty but literally every mussel had a lot of grit and offered some very unwelcome crunch to the meal. I realise that grit is natural in mussels, but honestly, the sheer amount of it put me off and I didn t finish the plate. The truffle frites had more parmesan than anything else and couldn t taste or smell the truffle at all. Service was slow and the lower half of the restaurant, although not very busy, was largely forgotten by the two staff working.

★★★★★

They were exceptional today. A year ago, my experience here was quite average. However, the food today was outstanding, and the staff were attentive and friendly, with our French server providing the most exceptional service. If today reflects their current standard, to which I have no reason to doubt, I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Not cheap, but personally Id prefer to pay a little more for lovely food than pay a little less but be disappointed, especially as it was a special occasion All 3 of my courses (pea & mint soup, Boeuf Bourguinon and Pot au Chocolat) were delicious. My wife also enjoyed all 3 of her courses (brie starter, Chicken Printanier & Sticky Toffee Madeleine). Our waiter seemed a bit grumpy at first, but he warmed up as the evening wore on! With my Blue Light Card discount, it took the cost down to a more reasonable total, so very happy, would happily recommend this restaurant to others. Parking: Theres a row of on street parking immediately outside the restaurant, luckily we got a space on our second time round the block. There IS a car park a few yards away, but this wasnt open in the evening, which we didnt realise when planning our visit.

It s a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff but the food was very disappointing. My friend had the bouef bourguignon and said it tasted like a TV dinner and the beef was tough. I had the salmon which was very overcooked and the accompanying asparagus woody. It s a shame really as, with a good chef, this could be a very nice restaurant .

Visited this evening advising two out of the 3 of us are gluten intolerant which was told upon booking and arrival. Two of the mains were lovely but the chicken was obviously left on the hot pass for a long time as sauce had a skin on top of mash was hard and chicken was dry and tough, chicken dish also missing peas as stated on menu. Wrong drink served and when ordering dessert we specified again gluten free but when desert served was to find they had put the gluten biscuits on plate, luckily I spotted this before my mother ate them. At the end of the evening when getting the bill we were told that because of the dissatisfaction with the main they had taken off the discretionary tip. I do not feel the staff really cared about the mistakes they made.

I booked for a table of 9 people, all work colleagues. I had slight reservations given the small number of negative reviews, but the set menu looked good and one of our party is a regular so I thought wed try it. We were well looked after, and everything I ate I enjoyed - the Pot au Chocolat was a particular highlight. The mid week set menu is excellent value.

Starters were alright but most of the mains were nearly not acceptable level. We finished the steak because of the hunger but not the quality. 3 steaks ordered to be cooked at same rate and all of them were different. 2 of the steaks were really low quality, hard and rubbery. Risotto was like a precooked meal. First and last time definitely. There are much better places in L.Spa. Just don t waste your time and money in here.

I have visited Bistro Pierre before and visited again when I came up to visit my daughter from Brighton in March. The actual restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The service is 2nd to none. Unfortunately the food is mediocre and I found this on my first visit too. The humous to start, was very good and tasty. I had the fish cake nicoise for main and it was very under-seasoned and very dry and served, not with French beans, as stated on the menu but served with very al dente courgettes, which was disappointing. The sauce it was served with on the side, was bland and the baby new potatoes were tasteless and squishy. My daughter had the haddock which she s said was ok. Going on other reviews, I would probably come back and try something else. Again, the service by Pierre was very, very good, friendly and welcoming and he took something off the bill for the missing French beans.The food needs to match the 5 star service.

Fantastic time there every time, has become a regular favourite of mine. Good food, good price, really fun atmosphere. Been served by Pierre several times and he really adds to the experience, he s a great personality, jovial, fun, great service, but also not intrusive. Always a pleasure to see him. Highly recommend

RUDE and AGGRESSIVE Manager PHILLIPE I went for breakfast today at Bistrot Pierre. Initially, a lovely waitress served me, and everything went smoothly. The food was enjoyable as well. When I asked for the bill, the manager, Philippe, brought it along with the card machine. Without communicating, he set the card machine on the table, seeming to prepare it. Suddenly, he stopped, and I assumed it was ready for payment. As I went to pay with my card, he AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED MY HAND AWAY, wearing an annoyed expression. I was shocked, I hadnt expected such behaviour. I do not appreciate being physically touched or having my hand pushed away in such a manner. He had no right to act so aggressively! It felt almost like a physical assault. A company like yours should not tolerate this behaviour under any circumstances. Its a shame because the restaurant itself is lovely, and the waitress who initially served me was wonderful. I wont return unless this aggressive gentleman is no longer working there.He completely ruined my experience, and I wouldnt recommend anyone to go there unless they want to be humiliated by the manager, PHILLIPE.

Parking - is difficult so plan ahead...although I think there is a parking garage in the same street and if so then ignore this part Service - its clear that the staff work hard and are rushing. But the positive to that is that they are trying hard to look after you and be attentive to everyone. This also includes the bar staff who did an excellent job. Special mention to Phillipe. I always ask my wait staff for advice and recommendations and Philipe was super helpful in making decisions. He was personable and funny, attentive and thorough. To be specific, I appreciated his food knowledge. Its clear that he likes the food that he serves. The Food; Was excellent. We had the 3 courses for 23GBP (must order before 5pm) which I consider to be very good value. I saw promos for a 6 course degustation for a very low price (I cant remember but its less than 30GBP) which will be on tonight (2nd and 4th tuesdays of the month) which I might just turn up to (this review was for 2 days ago). The carrot soup seemed to have a curry based spice in it and was excellent. The steaks were buttery and perfectly cooked. The desserts are winners and the mocktails were perfect additions. the Restaurant itself - clean, well decorated and good ambience. I highly recommend....thanks again phillipe

Bistrot Pierre pretty much ruined Christmas for us. We are visiting from Australia and treated family to Christmas lunch so nobody had to cook. We had to stand (including senior parents) for 30 mins on arrival as tables weren t ready. Once we were seated it took a further hour for starters to come out. In all it took nearly four hours for lunch. Food-wise the turkey was horribly dry. The parsnips were raw. The sticky toffee pudding was inedible. The service charge was waived and £100 was knocked off the bill, but this doesn t cover the cost of extra drinks we had during the huge wait. And that s before you consider that we paid £80 a head for a dreadful experience. Our experience today wasn t isolated, everybody was really annoyed. Our server was great, but obviously struggled when he was doing the job of three or four people.

We had our Christmas party here and we had a great time. Our making by doing a quiz and having our Secret Santa! Food was good but felt for our vegetarians. The pitivier was such a let down, perhaps you might try a mushroon and lentil mix next time and also score the pastry in a pattern so it looks attractive and a choice of colourful veggies would be a great addition for the price. We were also very surprised as to no santa hats or crackers! What is the world coming too! It wont stop us coming again but a little imagination for our vegan/vegetarians would be appreciated, please Vegetarian options: Imagination needed along with presentation.

Had a group booking on the 5th. Reception was excellent, as was seating. Background music was too loud but was turned down after complaining. As the restaurant filled the music was turned down even more and we were able to speak without shouting too loudly. The service was initially good, but deteriorated as the restaurant filled. The food was excellent and really couldnt be faulted. Checkout took far longer than necessary - mostly due to the cashier having a long conversation with another customer. Overall a very good evening, which I would certainly repeat. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the entrance, but only street parking. Blue badge holders can park immediately outside - if theres a space.

Well , fantastic offer for £10 mains which includes any starter or dessert for £2.50! It doesnt! You cant have the Provencale prawns from the starter menu (fair enough at £9.25) and you cant have the cheese board from the dessert menu? But we werent told this. 4 of us wanted cheese board lol. We were served by about 4 different staff in the 2 hours and 22 minutes we were there and then rudely asked to leave as the table was needed. Now I know the 5 of us were there for over 2 hours chatting away and enjoying our Friday evening after work and getting carried away but they had an entire restaurant that another table of 6 could have easily been used, and quite frankly, Ive woken up at 6 am and my first feeling is annoyance this morning, hence the review!... Like i said, food was amazing, staff not so

Reluctant to return. It may seem strange that I give this restaurant a high star rating but then start my review with a Reluctant to return, statement but hear me out. The food and service was great and there are so many items on the menu I would love to try and therefore Im tempted to return and I highly recommend people to eat there. My reluctance comes from the fact they automatically add a dicressionary 10% service charge that morally blackmails the average customer into paying it. If a restaurant thinks their staff deserve that extra 10%, then pay them that extra and adjust menu prices if required; the bill would still be the same. Im a tipper and I like to leave a tip for those who have exceeded standard expectations in their role. Kitchen staff and management should always reach high standards and be paid accordingly by the owners. Waiting staff however fall into a different category. Obviously, they too should paid fairly but, in addition, if they treat the customer well and provide a higher than average service, they deserve a personal thank you in the way of a tip. They in turn can share with other staff members or keep to themselves for they were the ones who earned it. An automatically added service charge is not the right way to go about rewarding good service or substituting a lack of fair pay.

We went to the restaurant for lunch today to celebrate my parents anniversary. The food was tasty, beautifully presented and the price quite cheap for the quality. On arrival, the concierge was friendly and inviting. The two waitresses however were rude. They were snappy with orders, slammed plates on the table and were unpleasant throughout the 3 courses. On receiving the bill, I asked for the service charged to be removed, as I found the service unfriendly. The waitress rolled her eyes and was arrogant in her response. I would not recommend this restaurant based on the service.

Attended for Sunday lunch with friends and 2 small children. Food was delicious (although the extra portion of roast potatoes for the Sunday lunch for 3 people was laughable, about 5 to share ). Good portion sizes for the childrens meals, and the desserts were lovely too. Only issue is when dining with you g children, you want their food ASAP and there was quite a delay for mains and their dessert (a scoop of ice cream). So moving forward would be great to get the kids served quicker! Also on arrival the lady by the door was friendly and helpful, however the waitress at the table was probably the most miserable server Ive had in a long time I dont think she smiled once, and was really short/ blunt when questions were asked. Such a shame because we were impressed with the food!

The service was quite lack lustre, wanted to give the benefit of the doubt as staff seemed to be new. 2/4 meals were enjoyed The pork medallions were nice enough but quite fatty? I was really looking forward to eating here, and a few of us did enjoy our meals so that was the redeeming factor.

We were seated and our order taken promptly, the restaurant was quiet with around 20 diners. Our drinks arrived within a few minutes and the starters followed shortly after. The onion soup was somewhat tasteless , the Calamari was good but was a very small portion. Around 40 minutes a waitress asked if we would like to order, we pointed out we had already done this 40 minutes earlier. She went away and said due to the government testing the new messaging system on mobile phones our order had been lost, I have never heard such nonsense and asked why others had received their food , no response. The food finally arrived. The chicken was totally dried out and hard , never have I had anything like it , you could not get you fork into it as the manager was also aware of as she tried .It was also meant to be served with green beans , I suppose technically it was , one. I didn t mention the bean as there was little point .My wife had the veggie bourguignon , she said it tasted the same as the onion soup with veg in it. I asked to see the manager who agreed it was not good enough and offered to replace the food , we declined and said we were leaving , she said she would get the check , I told her we were paying nothing which she was not happy with. I told her that the whole experience had been woeful and if she had an issue with payment call the Police . She shrugged her shoulders and we left,. I cannot put in to words how awful the mains were. There are plenty of places to it in Leamington , I strongly suggest you look elsewhere as we will

I went with low expectations as I am not usually a fan of chain restaurants, however, this place was a lovely venue for a Sunday lunch with my family. All of the food was fresh, of good quality, and tasty. The set menu is excellent value and even includes a (proper) drink. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. My daughter was provided with a colouring book and pencils, which kept her happy and entertained. Ill definitely be going back at some point. Kid-friendliness: Colouring in and pencils provided. Staff very accomodating for families with children.

It used to be my regular weekend breakfast place. Alas, it won t be any longer. Went there with a couple of friends for breakfast.

Took 3 hours to serve us 3 courses. The main meal took 2 hours to come. The people on the next table arrived more than an hour before us & had there meals before us. Over heard them say they knew someone in the kitchen. Starter was fine but main course was an embarrassment! My slice of Turkey looked like it had been dropped on the floor & picked back up. My husband roast potato was still frozen in the middle. The carrot purée was thinner than the gravy. Any cook with any self respect would have been embarrassed! Rye pigs were undercooked & not edible looking. It said on the menu that it came with an extra jug of gravy but had to chase the staff around the building to ask for this & cranberry. When they can they were insulting size potions. We then waited & waited & waited & waited again for anyone to take our plates & over us pudding. After again another wait. By this time we had to extend our parking ticket. When the pudding finally arrived it was still frozen on the middle & the poring sauce was missing. Whoever the chef was today should be very embarrassed by their lack of effort & the barely even editable shot they were happy to half add onto the plates. We paid the bill & service charge not to cause a scene but honestly feel taken the piss out of my the total pack of standard & care. Needless to sawmill not be returning & will tell anyone who will listen not to go here. Shane on you!

The Polish lady server (whose name I didnt get sorry) who was soooo pleasant, helpful, attentive, accommodating and happy, should be considering a jewel in the crown! Our food was probably the best weve had in Leamington although the one and only miniscule criticism would be that the Boeuf Bourgignon could be better with a beef skirt or similar. Slightly dry unfortunately. Saying that.... I dine with my three family members often and Ive never had such big smiles after the first few mouthfuls. Well done to all the staff. We WILL be back and soon

I met with my partners family for an afternoon meal today, sadly before my partner could start her main meal that had been served, she became unwell and was sick. Unfortunately, she didnt make it to the womens in time and threw up just outside the toilets. The staff were really understanding and gave me the supplies I needed to clean it up, they offered to help (which I politely declined, no one likes to clean up sick and I didnt want them to have to deal with it) and came to check that she was ok. They then carefully wrapped up our food in foil so that I could take her home to rest and enjoy later. I wish I had gotten the name of the woman that assisted us and wrapped the food but forgot in the moment but I hope that management (if there are any colleagues higher than her at the venue) see this and can indentify her to pass on my thanks again and apologies. 5 stars is specifically for the service that we received and how helpful the staff were. Hopefully next time we will be able to sample the food at the table.
