Classic French inspired Bistro. Good food, good wine, good company!
If God himself came down and told me that he made the sticky toffee pudding I would 100% beleive it without a second of doubt. Hands down the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life. Moreover, the main course was great as well! Highly recommend.
We hosted our son’s rehearsal dinner at David’s Bistro because it’s our favourite restaurant in London. The food is always exceptional and the service is outstanding. The rehearsal dinner met and exceeded our hopes and expectations. Thanks so much to all who made this evening such a special and memorable event.
Wonderful experience being served by David himself. Very personable & informative. 100% trust in him to choose my meal for me and it did not disappoint. The duck confit was yum after every single bite. Lyonnaise Salad was delightful as well. Also if you like a Manhattan cocktail - they make a mean one!! I recommend!!
Amazing! My husband picked this for dinner with my mom's surprise trip into town. We will be back to try more itmes. Everything was amazing. Service was great. Didn't feel rushed and was able to enjoy every bite of food!
Consistently the best fine dining in London. The changing menu is fantastic with new things to try. Wine list is extensive and actually reasonable which is hard to find in a restaurant of this level. Family owned, unique and local. Always our go-to for special occasion dinners. Update: yup, still 5 stars!
There are numerous restaurants here in London. But there can only be a top five…. David’s Bistro makes that cut. For the past year, I’ve avoided David’s because I am a picky eater and only enjoy certain ingredients. Right now, their dishes suit my taste. David, the owner, greeted me with warm welcome. We’ve known each other for a while. Like most fine dining establishments, David’s will hang up your coat. After sitting you down, they will bring you as much bread as you want. It IS divine. Their menu includes an impressive array of wine and liqueurs, and several appetizers and entrees each. I ordered two appetizers to start. A duck and pistachio terrine came first. I sliced the terrine and placed it on a grilled baguette along with cognac orange marmalade. The other appetizer was a French onion tart with Marsala braised onions and mornay sauce. The tart was made of puff pastry. My entree was a boar belly on squash risotto with sage, bacon, and Parmesan. The boar was juicy and still tender, giving the perfect texture. Dessert was a dark chocolate marquise. It had hints of orange zest, very much like a Terry’s Chocalate Orange. The inside is classy. On their sound system, they play instrumental jazz. This complements the art-covered walls. Incidentally, servers dress up in business attire. David’s Bistro is and has been a premium restaurant for years. Newspapers and industry experts believe this day and age is the end of fine dining. David’s website acknowledges this, but they don’t plan to stop. Help them prove critics wrong.
Came in for my mom’s 50th birthday. I had high expectations because of the reviews and they blew it out of the water. Food was phenomenal, the Scallop and Risotto was our favourite but everything was great. The boar was cooked perfectly, very tender, and the sauce and veggies were a delight. The dessert and appetizers was very well balanced and delicious (actually everything was well balanced and thoughtfully prepared). Everything was also well portioned and the atmosphere of the space very much enhanced the experience. If we’re ever back in the area we will be sure to visit again.
All I can say is what a hidden gem, the food was extraordinary I had the priest fix and for that price you can’t go wrong. Their menu looks delectable as well, My waiter was great at his job, and made great suggestions. I will definitely be returning numerous times. They also have something called trust me, which apparently after you’ve been there a couple of times you tell them I trust you and they will cook you up a two or three course meal depending on what you prefer and surprise you, what a great idea after my second or third time there I will definitely do so. The wine list is extensive, with great pairings. I gave this restaurant five stars plus plus plus. Well I’ve now eaten at David’s Bistro 11 times since my first review and I have yet to be disappointed in any part of there service ,Food , and atmosphere. Another wonderful experience, thank you very much David and Natalie, and Ryan.
Most reliable good meal in the city. Beautiful food, romantic atmosphere and top notch service.
Cant say enough good things about this place. They have the magic formula - I went in, saw multiple things on the menu and wine list, could only choose a couple, really enjoyed them and knew while there Id have to go back to try some other stuff. Had the prix fixe - good value and tasty food! 24/09 - update. Still excellent. Friendly team, good food, excellent wine list. Will be back!
All was delicious!!! Highly recommended
Wonderful food! Weve being going to Davids for years - mostly for family events which include our senior members. The service is always good and the menu interesting. There is local parking but not on-site.
Always a pleasant dining experience here. Servers are very knowledgable and attentive, the food is delicious, with lots of good options and daily specials. Food : 5/5
Disappointed when I ordered the duck special and the boar belly. The duck was dry and overcooked, they destroyed a classic dish. The boar was completely undercooked with a piece that had 0 meat and only fat, belly is supposed to be marbled meat and fat and not undercooked. I could not finish the meal due to an upset stomach took it home only to be thrown out. The only good part was the sticky toffee pudding. Would never return to this place. I am a fine dining enthusiast and foodie and this was a big disappointment.
Best Bistro in Canada.
Benjamin was a fantastic server, made wonderful cocktails and was friendly throughout. Food was astonishing as well, would happily go back any day.
My friends and I had a great time at Davids Bistro tonight. The food was delicious and plentiful and left us excited to come back and try more. What made the experience over the top amazing was the service. I hope the owner knows she has a gift in making people feel warm, welcome and fancy. She was so easy to chat with aswell as funny. The food has me reccomending this restaurant, the service is why Ill be back soon.
Never knew that theres a French restaurant in this small town here. - I walked across the street many times and have always missed it; the food is delicious and worth spending a big meal with good budget
We have been going to Davids Bistro for about 12 years for special dinners out (birthdays, anniversaries) and have never had a bad meal. The service is top notch too- you feel like family. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!
Duck and pistachio terrine on gripled baguette with orange marmalade fantastic. Service was great
Always a good meal
Our first (and definitely not last) dinner at Davids Bistro. We drove all the way from Ottawa for dinner (also for a visit with my mother-in-law). It was a wonderful dinner: great food, wine and service. Thank you!
A very nice place with good food and atmosphere.
Classic French and European cuisine with a modern twist
We had a blast coming here for our 6 month anniversary. The food was lovely and the service was beyond superb. Our server, Ryan, was incredibly kind. We will definitely be returning!
Super friendly service and delicious and filling dishes.
Davids never disappoints for special occasion outings for our family. We headed here for my husbands birthday. Our server, Ryan led us joyously and impeccably through our entire visit, sharing the fine details of the ingredients and flavours of each entree. We had the duck confit, a special Lake Erie pickerel dish, seafood cassoulet, and perfectly cooked filet mignon. We explained that we had birthday cake waiting for us at home and wouldnt be getting dessert. No problem! They prepared a special Happy Birthday small plate with candle for the birthday celebrant! The ambience, vibe, mellow playlist and flavours make us coming back here year after year. Stay casual, chic and cool Davids!
Never fails to please, they supply the effort to make our visit/event memorable. Food, wine and atmosphere are superb!!!!! Parking: Close by, reasonable.
OMG the LM&C!! Picked up the lobster Mac & cheese from the Sunday dinner menu and OMG!! It is without a doubt the BEST Mac and cheese I ve ever had. The chunks of lobster are immense and the flavours? Rich, creamy and succulent. This is our go to treat restaurant in London. The service has never disappointed and the menu is always varied and spectacular. Wine pairings with each course is a special treat. And the sticky toffee pudding is to die for.
Delightful downtown spot with a charming ambiance and great food. The shrimp and bacon pasta was the star here - these shrimp were so massive I thought they were crawfish at first! Very reasonable price/quality ratio.
We came here as a family and each appetizer and meal was scrumptious! David was an incredible waiter and host. The flavors were delicious, the wine pairings David brought for us were perfect, and overall it was a great night with great food! Will be back next time we re in London!
Never disappointed and keep going back for many reasons as David and Natalie have that magic formula which ensures a complete and enjoyable dining experience. The harmony between front of house and kitchen cements all the elements that Chef Chapman has spent decades in perfecting and demonstrates why he has achieved (through the hard work of he and his team) what many consider to be London s best restaurant. The motivation for him isn t any form of bragging rights but rather a love of food and the shared dining experience. The quality and consistency of the plate combined with all the other elements of service and married to what those who appreciate a great meal out, have built up a large and loyal (in some cases multigenerational) family of regular customers who are treated like an extended Bistro family. The diversity of the menu with the ever creative Prix Fixe selections while his keeping tried and true favourites make this a place you always want to return to. Chef Chapman has an inviting personality that shines through from the moment you enter until you leave sated from yet another great dining experience. His love of food and knowledge of ingredients and techniques are clearly a passion and he is happy to share his wit and culinary wisdom along with a canny sense of wine pairing to help you get the most of your time with him and his great staff. I have to say that David sort of personifies the Bistro ethos and experience as he is a casual and relaxed and most of all an inviting and warm personality. The Bistro vision he started with remains as authentic today as when he first set out on this particular journey. Truly a jewel in the crown of the London dining scene and without a doubt a must visit for anyone who enjoys a great meal, but more importantly a great meal out. I have never had a bad meal or experience here and every visit ends with me looking forward to the next one.
Absolutely exquisite :)
Great food, no wonder it s always busy. We had the rabbit pate as appetizer which was amazing. I can t recall the name tho. As for main course, I had scallops with salmon on top and that dish was delicious too.
Loved it. Great food; great atmosphere.
The best.
Excellent restaurant that we go to every year. The trust me menu is always a great experience that always surprises and impresses our family.
Quaint atmosphere, quiet and very comfortable. We were welcomed, had our coats hung for us and seated right away. The gentleman who served us during our stay was the owner who clearly had great pride in his staff and establishment, and so he should. The food portions were very generous and very flavourful. I d mentioned we were going to share the starter Caesar which was thoughtfully brought out to us on two plates. (Superb attention to details!!!) The chef was on point with food temp, taste and presentation. We will most definitely make the 25 minute drive to dine here again. Prices very reasonable. Staff amazing. A great evening out for dinner.
Whenever I am in town I make a point of visiting this establishment. As I can think of no better restaurant than Davids in London for a night out to enjoy fine food and fine company. It consistently provides an excellent meal with great service. Highly recommended. Dietary restrictions: My dining partners had various dietary restrictions, all of which were accommodated.
Its just fantastic. Everything about this bistro is top notch!
Our meal was amazing.
Outstanding, couldnt have enjoyed myself more. Great food, perfect atmosphere, fair prices and large portions. Our waiter helped us to select an excellent wine paring for our meal and the owner himself offered us pepper. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner a memorable one! Edit: had our anniversary dinner at Davids again this year and my initial review stands. The food was truly great and the owner is very kind! Thank you!
I would eat and LOVE anything on their menu. Service was wonderful. Reminded me of service 30 years ago
Very special and unassuming European inspired Bistro in the heart of downtown London
Party of 8, delightful evening. Everything was perfect. We will definitely return in the future.
Perfect date night dinner, couldnt ask for a more relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. We enjoyed every minute of our time. Take time to look at the wine menu.
We recently enjoyed a wonderful evening at David s Bistro. A special birthday for my wife. The courses were all amazing and Bens suggestions and attentive service was appreciated. We enjoyed a chat with David near the end of our meal, who rightfully is proud of his family-owned and operated establishment.
First visit since before covid. Great service, great atmosphere, food was exceptional. Will be back Parking: Construction downtown has things screwed up for now. We parked across from the courthouse and had a 2 block walk. Well worth the effort.
Delicious food and friendly service
Pleasant place, good food, nice atmosphere
We love everything this place has to offer. Especially the seafood is so fresh. Amazing. First time in London and we will have to come back to this place in future.
Just amazing! My coworker and I went here for dinner and everything from the fresh baked bread to our mains and desserts was perfect. The filet mignon was some of the best Ive ever had. So delicious! The service was wonderful and I would 100% recommend this hidden gem
Everyone at the restaurant were very attentive. The food was creative and tasty. A good variety of wines are there to complete the meal.
Delicious food and friendly staff in a cozy bistro environment. Not cheap, but worth it.
Food so good that we came back twice in 1 week because we couldnt decide which entrees to have. The staff here is very kind and the atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend!
An amazing supper.. Definitely one of the best restaurants in London
Remains one of the best Dining Experiences in the area
Great place to eat, service friendly and prompt food was excellent, definitely recommend it
Food was fantastic, perfect portions. Service was awesome, very helpful and knowledgable.
Great little bistro in London Ontario. Laid back atmosphere with impeccable service. Excellent food and wine list.
David provided excellent service. Food was excellent.
I had a last minute decision to go to Daves tonight for dinner. It is important to make a reservation here, since it is usually full. I ordered a 3 course meal and was extremely delighted with my choice. The chef made an amazing meal I enjoyed very much. The staff is friendly and attentive. I will return.
Quite possibly the greatest attention to detail when it comes to fine cuisine
Well balanced flavours and amazing execution. Attention to detail is also obvious in their ingredient prep. Really love their innovative menus as well.
David always does a great job. The food is scrumptious and the service friendly. The wine list never disappoints.
Ordered the rabbit rillette, cassoulet, and sticky toffee pudding & creme brulee for dessert. Amazing food!
I thought I would call the health department before posting this my wife and I tried to go for a 6 pm meal last night we are from Bc we furnished our proof of vaccines card and I BC DL as we have at many establishments. It was refused saying he wanted the URL or Whatever. The health department said obviously not everyone has a phone or access to technology. The only case for refusing would be if he thought it was fake vaccine cards I had no time or tolerance to jump through hoops so these people can take my money. I will never return and we are serious foodies . Total waste my time
loved the ambience and the very good food. it was a throw back but not quite. a great and very reasonable wine list. definately a foodie must attend.
Amazing food and wine as always. Our server tonight was amazing...went above and introduced us to a new spirit!
Excellent food ,great atmosphere , excellent service
We had the Cornish hen this weekend. Again they were outstanding at what they do. My wife and I were gifted 2 meals from his take out program. There are not enough words to describe how delicious they were.
Always an enjoyable experience. Excellent service and truly amazing food!
Phenomenal meal (Bay Scallops, beef tenderloin, Sticky Pudding, partner had Beet Salad, Duck, a glass of wine and a chocolate truffle. The service was impeccable. Worth the price for the wonderful French cuisine.
Was going to take a picture but I couldnt wait long enough. It was the best steak Ive ever eaten. The flavours of the whole dish were absolutely divine. This is our second time here and thats 2/2 for Davids! Will be back for a third.
Food was incredible and so was the service! Thank you Natalie and Chef Elvis! Update: just went for a second time and I can confirm that this place is AMAZING. I am OBSESSED with the saffron fettuccine with cream sauce! That sauce is one of the most delicious things Ive ever had and Id put it on everything if I could. Thank you for the best birthday dinner!
Incredible menu, wine and beer list, and amazing service! DELICIOUS! We enjoyed our experience here so much we made reservations for celebrating in July!
Very thoughtful dishes! The duck legs confit was absolutely delicious, and the creamed corn risotto went perfectly with the scallops. Do check out their baked Spanish cheesecake as well!
Presentation of food and shop is nice. A fun dinner location
Locally owned and operated. High end food. Great service. London needs more places like Davids Bistro!
Excellent dinner and service. Small place with great menu options and wines.
A beautiful evening out, great service, food and atmosphere.
Delicious food, well prepared and presented, by friendly staff and owner. Much appreciated!
I still am thinking/drooling about the green garlic sauce from the gnocchi & lamb appetizer, and the wine selection was wonderful (with excellent suggestions from staff based on our wine preferences). The boar was cooked perfectly, and the jus was divine. We will absolutely be back for more, and hope to try everything the menu has to offer, as well as new seasonal additions. A perfect date night restaurant, with great ambience and, most importantly, impeccable food!
Incredible food.
My amazing husband brought me to Davids Bistro. It was the most amazing night (my 44th birthday) and the fooooood I cant even tell you how amazing it was. Please go and enjoy the atmosphere and the wonderful staff you must experience this place.
I can t praise this restaurant enough! Our server Ryan, was very personable and knowledgeable. The food was exquisite, the wine was superb! I would definitely recommend this bistro!
You should definitely visit this restaurant! You ll have the dance of flavours in your mouth with each bite. I planned what I want to order the next time I go to this restaurant. Worth every cent you spend. The staff are super professional in their job. I had a fantastic time over there.
Excellent food and great service.
Always a great dining experience here! David is a wonderful host and the food is first rate.
Food was great, service was great, really recommend it.
The food was fantastic. The ambience was welcoming and staff are super friendly. We had a 10/10 experience and hope to be back shortly.
Best spot in London Ontario. Amazing ambiance, delicious food and very friendly staff. Natalie went above and beyond to make sure we got a bit of everything we liked! Modified the menu to our likings and preferences. Beautiful penmanship on the menu s as they are hand written by her. I asked her about the paintings she had on display and she mentioned they were from a local artist whom they support. Wide variety of wine selection, good portions dishes and desserts. mouth watering lamb shank (my personal favourite), mushroom Risotto and garlic mashed potatoes that my 6 month old enjoyed. Thankyou for the amazing experience.
Great place for a nice dinner!
Amazing meal and wonderful service. Always consistent and a favorite for celebrations
Amazing food and wonderful service. Felt incredibly cozy. Definitely check out the dessert menu!
Very diligent with dietary restrictions and the food is always delicious!
Davids Is the best spot in town, amazing food, wonderful service and atmosphere.. cant be beat!
Excellent quality, fair price, and great service.
Outstanding experience. David was our server and he was fantastic. Just warm, extremely nice person. He perfectly paired every course with wines from around the world. Food was prepared perfectly, tasted phenomenal, and modified without issue to accommodate a dairy allergy. The busy yet relaxing vibe was exactly what we were looking for. Next time we are back in town this is a guaranteed stop for dinner. Highly recommend you do too!
The reviews gave us hope that it would be enjoyable, but it was better then we could have ever expected. If you get a chance to stop in for a night of food you will never forget - take the chance! We also had David serve us which added a special touch. Thank you endlessly for a night of food we will never forget and a cozy atmosphere.
If you are looking for friendly staff, top notch service, delicious food, interesting menu choices, wholesome ingredients, fun unpretentious atmosphere, with reasonable pricing for such a high quality experience, look no further. Consistently one of the best places in London to dine out. The ceasar salad is one of the best ever.
Outstanding meal. Relaxed atmosphere.
Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Amazing prices. If you get a chance to meet with David, who still works there - talk with him. Stories you will never get to hear anywhere else. The bistro is the epitome of class and culture.
I had a great experience at David s. It took me longer than it should have to try this great gem. Now that I have it s definitely one of the top restaurants on my list for London. Everything tasted Amazing and the service was excellent. I ll definitely be back. Thank you.
Always top notch. Always impressed when I eat there.
Absolutely FANTASTIC! I cannot recommend this place enough. I have a severe nut allergy as well as both my partner and I are vegan. The team here accommodated our requests with no problem at all and they knocked it out of the park! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
We had take out from David s last night. It was phenomenal. Everything was cooked to perfection. We had the duck, filet mignon and chicken. All of us were very happy. Thank you!
A beacon of light in what otherwise has been a dark year this bistro has continued to serve very high quality food. The New Year s Eve menu of lobster salad, beef tenderloin, and poached pears was outstanding April18/21 Sunday menu of the delicious fisherman,s pie shrimp and scallops in tarragon cream sauce topped with Yukon gold mash potatoes and Parmesan cheese absolutely delicious. The surprise was an incredible salmon rillette with charred citrus marmalade served on crostinis. The gentle taste of the salmon enhanced with the charred citrus marmalade along with the crunch of the crostini put the senses into overdrive. Once again this bistro has outdone itself.
Our Favourite restaurant in London Ontario Edit: the comment above was from 2 years ago and this continues to be our favourite place to dine. David, Natalie and the team do not disappoint. Food is fabulous and service is top notch, more so with stepping up to deal with pandemic lock downs.
Absolutely amazing dinner. Paella was well worth the price of the dish. The mushroom risotto was amazing. They also make incredible lamb. We have really missed this restaurant during this pandemic. From Anne and John
Just had a second home delivery from David s under COVID restrictions. Very well prepared, very well packaged for delivery and very friendly delivery. Natalie for our first time and Ryan today. Meal was delicious and a real treat. Today we had the lobster and shrimp order (Sunday delivery) and it was even better than the rabbit we previously had. Well worth the price and delivered to our front door. No complaints and highly
Incredible food and great atmosphere. I recommend you to my friends!!
Love the food, atmosphere and service. Always a challenge between menu, daily specials and fixed price menu! Plus a good wine and beer list
Great meal - upscale dining with exceptional service!
Outstanding! Food and service fabulous!
Wonderful service! The best wine list in London. Its got the vibe of a European bistro and the food to match. Truly a hidden gem.
I wish I could give them more stars!! Excellent service and excellent food
Amazing food and awesome service.
One of the oldest bistros of London. Excellent food and reasonable wine prices.
This review is more about the attitude of the owner than the food and atmosphere. The pro-medical segregationist owner made the comment to me how great it was that unvaccinated people couldnt come in the the restaurant, and how wonderful it was that all of the sheep citizens were complying. My sister, who has anaphylaxis to the vaccine component, despite her EpiPen, medical letter etc, was not allowed to dine. Not because she had COVID of course, but because of the tyrany this place supports. Not coming back.
The food is always amazing! David and his staff are always very friendly and will do everything they can to accommodate your wishes to make sure you have a great dinning experience.
Food was great service was better
What a gustative journey! A treasure downtown. Thank you David s team for the grace moment.
I can confirm the hype is real.....
Davids is a cosy bistro with friendly, personal service and a varied and varying menu including a prix fixe option. They also have a comprehensive wine list. Its a great place for a special event.
The taste and service here is a special experience. The dishes we had were all well done. The wine collection is to die for. This place is probably the best tasting experience you could possibly have in the city of london. I enjoyed the cornish hen with risotto. Juicy, and mouth watering. Favorite was the Char Siu pork tenderloin. My god it was the best appetizer I have ever had. Wasnt a huge fan of the rabbit but it was still enjoyable.
We came in from out of town for a show. Even before we got our drinks, David came over and asked if we had come all the way from Toronto (Since wed made a reservation and our number was 416 on the contact list, I guess he figured it out). Was so friendly asking why we were in town, talking about the renovations at The Music Hall, and how he wished hed bought a house in Toronto back in the 60s. Was telling us a bit about his history, so sweet and welcoming. Waiter was fantastic as well, very funny and friendly and made is feel so at ease with our decisions. The second glass of Pinot he brought me on his recommendation was absolutely fantastic. And the food, oh my god the food!!! I had the Prix Fixe three course meal, and for the price, absolutely amazing value. My wife ordered off the Specials/Regular menu and absolutely loved all she had as well. The sauce on her Salmon was so good we asked for extra bread just to sop it all up! And dont REPEAT DONT skip dessert. My bread pudding with bourbon ice cream was indulgent, delicious and so satisfying. My wifes spiced orange cheesecake with cranberry compote tasted like Fall/Winter on a plate. Its been a long time since Ive tasted something that just opened up a sense memory for me, and that cheesecake did exactly that. We will definetly be back when we are in town again! Highly, highly recommended!!!!
Best restaurant in London.
First visit and such an amazing dinner! We had a group of 6 and everyone was a member of the clean plate club. While most of our table went with the braised short ribs, I had the prix fixe menu with a salmon starter and pork tenderloin and it was just perfect. And the sticky toffee pudding was a definite hit with us all!
To those reading this review.... please order scallops! Just absolutely amazing.
Had a very good dinner at Davids Bistro. We were treated immediately upon arriving and seated. Service was exceptional, with our waiter who was very pleasant and professional almost immediately tending to out table. Bread and rosemary butter was brought out as we went over our menus. Drinks came quick, and one of the best Manhattans Ive ever had I must add. The appetizers were not far behind and really set the stage for mouth watering main course. I had the duck confit, while my spouse had the Nova Scotia scallops with smoked trout, both were flavoured and cooked to perfection. Enjoyed every last bite, had an all around great experience, will definitely return and would definitely recommend.
Best restaurant in London.
Good luck finding a better place. Lunch was fantastic. I ordered the daily special, Vietnamese chicken with kimchi. Brilliant.
Probably the best scallops.
Had a very good dinner at Davids Bistro..
The food and service was excellent. Will be going back soon.
David s has become our go to spot for special occasion dining (and truth be told it really should be our go to on non special occasions when we just feel like a fantastic meal for reasonable price). The balance achieved between quality and diversity of menu combined with great service and what I feel is a warm ambience is not easily achieved or maintained but David Chapman and his team pull it off every time (in our experience). Our most recent experience was like every other, a great meal at a very reasonable cost. We had David looking after our table and his recommendations took an already elevated dining experience that little bit higher. I enjoy both cooking and eating and being able to talk recipe and ingredients added to my dinner experience and my wife (who s birthday we were celebrating) felt she had a perfect evening out. Lots of reviews about the myriad of great food creations to try....so revisit an old friend or make a new one....at David s Bistro.
Had the venison special which was very delicious. The dessert chocolate tartine was amazing. Would definitely recommend and am definitely coming back for the dessert again.
Very tasty food and enjoyable wine in a great location
Food was absolutely delicious
Outstanding food menu, very friendly & cozy.
Experience it for yourself as soon as you can.
The food and service was excellent
Service, food, ambience, and wine list are all superb. You cannot go wrong. Dont pay attention to the few negative reviews. Go experience for yourself. Make reservations. It was our first time there and we will go back.
This is perhaps the best restaurant in London for finer dining. The service is exceptional, as is the food. Highly recommended
Had a lovely dinner here the other night. Amazing food! They also have a prix fixe menu not shown on their site. Make sure to reserve well in advance theyre almost always booked full.
Great food and service
This place has amazing service. Probably the nicest staff that I have ever dealt with. The food here was cooked perfectly, the chicken was perfectly moist and delicious. The only down fall to this place is that its very small and its tight inside. The price is on the higher end but you definitely get what you pay for. As for the parking situation, well since this place is downtown you can park free after 6 on the street or or your can pay for parking.
Amazing food, wonderful staff and a very relaxed and please try atmosphere. What a wonderful evening out with our closest friends. We will be back!
Was recommended by a friend- did not disappoint!
Incredible service, incredible atmosphere. All the food we ordered (a feature of arctic char, and a seafood stew off the menu) was incredible, and the portions were so generous we took an entire meal home. Great spot for dessert and coffee, the desserts are made fresh and very elegant.
Honestly the best restaurant in London over the last decade.The space and staff create a rare warmth of inviting you into their home which happens to be a French bistro. The food is top notch, inventive without reaching too far; no matter what night you decide to make reservations or just walk in....dressed casually....because it s unpretentious like that.
Beautiful atmosphere and the meal was a delight! Great selection of wines! A must to visit.
One of my family s favourite places. Big portions. My husband and I always come for the steak and creme brulee. Crime brûlée is the greatest. The top is torches and delicious. Nice staff as well
Delicious food and fantastic service. Best place to eat in London!!
Amazing service and food...cant wait to come back.
Not like Davids needs another 5 star Google review... but here is one anyway. This is traditional and properly cooked cuisine. They dont bother with frou frou or dress up your plate with dry ice or something stupid. Simple. Amazing. Food. Go here if you havent. Its a London must. If you have and dont care for it... You crazy.
Food was amazing. Service was great and friendly and I loved that the owner came around and chatted with the people in the restaurant to see how they were doing. I highly recommend Davids Bistro!!!
David s is a pillar in the London community and an all time favourite of ours! You can ALWAYS count on superb service, food, beverage and ambience. Everything made from scratch by their talented chefs! Every course beautifully presented for your dining delight. The daily prix fixe menu is a welcome affordable option to endulge in for 2 or 3 courses. At David s you feel like like they really care about building a relationship with you, not just serving your meal!
Amazing as always!! Service and food were excellent!!
Amazing food and amazing service
David s Bistro has ruined all other dining for us. It s hard to ever go elsewhere when you know that you can expect excellence at David s. When I do try other restaurants they are always a let down by comparison.
No doubt about it, this is the best restaurant in London. David himself is an absolute gentleman, often serving tables, interacting with his guests, bar tending, and hosting. The food itself would give a Michelin 2-Star restaurant a run for its money, but the experience at Davids goes beyond the plate. With extremely affordable and fair pricing, I question anyone who would choose a chain restaurant over Davids. Family owned and operated for at least 20 years, this is a fine establishment. I will warn though, to enjoy the experience, you will need to book days in advanced, as it is a small restaurant, and they like it this way. This ensures every guest is taken care of in respect to time, and experience. I can honestly say, every time I visit I ask myself why I bother dining out or ordering food from anywhere else in this city, thank you David!
Great food and atmosphere.
Best Restaurant in London!!
Such an intimate place. Small, quiet atmosphere with delicious food and wonderful hosts!
It feels pretty good.
Honestly one of the best places I have ever eaten! We had the trust me and we never would have ordered some of the food we ate this evening however we have been converted! Food was super reasonably priced for the amazing food we got and the wine was superb! What made it better was Davids obvious love, passion for food, his restaurant and customers. The atmosphere was amazing! I would go to this restaurant a hundred times over, if we come back to london Davids would be 100% on our list of must go to! No food photos unfortunately everything got devoured far too quickly!!!
David at some points served our table. He was nice. But the main female server was terrible. She was consistently rude and ungracious she made me and my husband, who was celebrating his birthday at the restaurant (I m using my husband s phone as i write this), feel as if we owe it to her to dine at the restaurant. Because of the bad service from the female server, we are not inclined to return to this restaurant. Decent food; the 4.8 google rating is definitely overrated.
Wonderful!
Wonderful food and host David.
