Opened in 2004, Bistrotheque can be found in an unmarked warehouse somewhere between Bethnal Green & Hackney. Upstairs is open for dinner seven nights a week and brunch at the weekends.

    Always a favourite! Amazing service, great food, & a really cool space! Plus with current situation, tables were appropriately spaced apart to maintain ‘social distancing’ given these crazy times!

    It’s a brunch institution. Great place, nice vibe, fantastic food. Try the farinata or the hash brown!

    Haven’t been here for a while... I remember it as being noisy and I guess it is when it’s full - it can be very lively and buzzy. That’s a good thing, but I liked it more on a quiet Thursday in January and the food was way better than I remember. Really outstanding, some of it. Highly recommended but pick your time carefully depending on your tolerance for noise.

    Went for a Sunday evening early meal with some friends and we had such a wonderful time! We had the Prixe Fixe menu, which was excellent value and so tasty. The restaurant decor is beautiful and the staff were great. We’ll definitely be back!

    Love the atmosphere of Bistrotheque. The service made us feel welcome and it was overall a nice place for a date or catching up with friends. The restaurant is quite discreet which is nice as it has a hidden vibe. Would definitely come back.

    Sat at the bar for brunch, waited 10 minutes before I was asked if I’d like a drink whilst I waited for a friend. Appreciate it was busy but no one likes to see someone who arrives after them be given a drink straight away, regardless of how well staff know them. Food was nice as it usually is, and there was a lovely buzzy atmosphere. Nice to hear a piano in the background.
