French Cafe Bistrot on Forest Hill Road


Recommended Posts

Hi


We have been going to the French caf? for breakfast and lunch for a number of years (the new caf? is the same as before just with a better layout)but tonight we went there for dinner for the first time.


They have a small menu but there is plenty of choice and because it is a small menu everything is done really well.


We had moules mariniere and steak frites. Both were great and the steak was cooked medium rare as ordered (a minor triumph for restaurants around here!!!) I have also had their burger for lunch and that is great too.


We also had crepes for dessert these were very yummy and we may just pop out for these as a treat in the future.


The atmosphere was really nice, a pleasant hubbub of friends having a good catch up without being loud (imagine the friendly atmosphere of the morning caf? converted into an evening restaurant vibe).


It is indeed BYOB at the moment. Even better!!

I will try to get a picture of the menu when I'm passing. Haven't eaten there yet but popped past on Friday hoping to get a table and they were full! It's a small menu, but everything sounds delicious.


Currently doing BYOB on Thursday, Friday and Saturday but the sign outside suggests they're also applying for an alcohol licence to serve wines throughout the week. Hope they get it - such a nice spot.

My wife and myself had a very nice evening in the French Cafe Bistrot the other night. We have been there on several occasions. The menu is small, but the food is excellent. They do have daily specials and this time I tried the Duck which was delicious.

Staff are very friendly and the bill was reasonable.

I was here this morning.. My first visit since the move from down the road..


It's always such a pleasant experiance.. I love the outside seating at the new place ... a real Sun Trap..


I opted for the Portuguese Custard Tart (Sod the blood sugars) and a Pot of Tea..


The staff here are delightful. A cheerful 'HELLO..' as you walk in.

..and with the Sun shining, a real bonus.

    • @Jellybeanz Food poisioning can take 4 hours or so for the symptoms to become apparent. you mention and I quote  "This incident was most defintely the ice-cream or the person serving it having dirty hands or gloves" I think that is a sweeping assumption again pointing blame at the cafe. Kids and adults can be violently sick out of the blue for any number of reasons..I've had situations where I have eaten the same as my partner prepared in our own home and then been sick once only-he was ok and after I'd been sick I felt fine. I feel you're very quick to point the finger at a local establishment frequented by many with a good hygene rating. To mention the other thread where you slated a local buisness because you and your child disliked their vegan hot chocolate (or something like that...)..It was'nt to you or your childs taste-fine don't blame the establishment. I'm fussy about coffee and matcha latte some places do coffee I enjoy and ditto Matcha latte-I would not post on a public forum that XXXX's matcha is rubbish because someone else may favour it. one mans meat is another mans poison as they say and my personal taste does not give me good reason to slate a local buisness (except in the case of a certain chain 'on the lordship' which is frankly all round pretty meh.  
    • I think we can agree trees are fantastic, beautiful and a welcome part of our environment... the issue occurs as Nigello stated above when they aren't cared for or pruned regularly. When they cause damage to payments and property that isn't right, and unfortunately as trees mature - particularly some varieties - they show that it really isn't practical for them to be planted in close proximity to properties.
