Le Bistrot - Carta

I came for dinner with my boyfriend, who loves French cuisine and we’ve had the best meal! Absolutely delicious, perfect steak served with tasty salad many British steakhouses should take a note and move on from boring chips, loved every bite.

This restaurant offers reasonable prices and has a welcoming atmosphere with a pleasant ambiance. The lunch menu features a good variety of options. However, I found the main course I ordered to be somewhat disappointing. The coq au vin was overly salty, and the potato foam seemed to dissolve into the sauce.

Edinburgh's Old Town has an array of dining options, but Le Bistrot is certainly among the best in the area. Lunch was delicious with the fish cooked perfectly. A great range of choices on the set menu. The restaurant was packed and service busy but the staff were wonderful, attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend! Ver carta

In an elegant with an informal atmosphere in the core of the beautiful Edinburgh, my husband and I were delighted to have been twice for dinner this month. Our congratulations for the outstanding and warm service given by Alejandra, Krissi, Niki and Costas. For sure we will return to keep tasting your marvellous cuisine and excellent wines!

We had a truly fantastic evening in a beautiful setting, complemented by excellent staff and delicious food. The ambiance was lovely, and the authentic French cuisine was served with great pride. I highly recommend this restaurant for a unique and special experience that doesn't come with a hefty price tag. The reception area is absolutely stunning, and the restaurant has an elegant, authentic atmosphere. We felt warmly welcomed, and every dish we tried was perfect; the cod, in particular, was a highlight!

Cannot fault the friendly service. However the same cannot be said about the cuisine. Didn’t recognise the two dishes ordered (coquilles Saint Jacques and boeuf casserole. Saint Jacques overpowered with mustard and only two small scallops . Beef quite salty with gristle and lacking flavour. Sloppy and mushy. Side of vegetables was waterlogged. Great bottle of wine. Shame this is how French cuisine is being represented in Scotland. Love the French institute and all that it offers but really hope they can bring the restaurant up a notch. Ver carta

We were in search of a quick meal and had noticed this restaurant several times before, so we decided to give it a try. Fortunately, we were able to get a table. There were a couple of two-person tables available, though that's apparently not the norm. The menu was appealing—not the cheapest option, but reasonably priced. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. I ordered the vegetarian risotto, while my partner chose the cod, and we were both very satisfied with our selections. The passion fruit cocktail was outstanding! We were also pleasantly surprised with a complimentary dessert to share, which was delightful and a thoughtful touch. Thank you! We would definitely come back....

We travelled from Newcastle for a day trip in Edinburgh for Valentine's Day and my pre 60th birthday celebrations and booked Le Bistrot for lunch, and were delighted with our restaurant selection. We received a complimentary kir cocktail which was a nice touch, the food was delicious in particular the beef stew which was a hearty portion and the special desserts for Valentine's were divine. All staff were very welcoming and attentive in particular our young Greek male waiter whose name I neglected to note, so apologies for that error, as he was very engaging and personable, he'll go a long way. The restaurant had a great ambience and had a pleasant lively feel as it was a full lunchtime sitt...
