Told us that he has a table for us in 20 min, we told everyone to come, once we are there he was fully booked…

The three stars are because of the food value and how nice server Hannah was. The set menu is quite tasty and a nice variety of options (for meat/fish eaters), and a reasonable price for what you get. The whole experience wasn't amazing. We got there during the two cocktails for £14 offer, but i honestly couldn't taste any alcohol in them, and neither could my tee total father in law. We took the drinks up to the bar to check we hadn't confused them for mocktails, to which the barman snatched the drinks off us and tipped in smirnoff, which actually made the drinks a bit gross and no boozier... do they water down the vodka? He was very rude and aggressive in manner. The restaurant was loud and service quite slow. Steak either comes 'pink or well done' so not many options there. The servers kept coming over and trying to take our plates whilst we were still eating. The service staff were very nice however and they let us bring a cake for a birthday. The whole drink situation left a bad taste in my mouth though (literally and figuratively) so probably won't go back. Avoid the cocktails, but the food is quite nice

We were a table for 12 for an 80th Birthday and initially worried that they might not cope as we didn’t pre order, Sandra who served us could not be more attentive, friendly and professional, the food was hot and excellent quality(not one mistake) we couldn’t have asked for a better celebration meal. Thank you

Sandra is a definite star. She's attentive, friendly and gave great service from beginning to end,. A great asset to the restaurant. Riberio is also cool. On the downside there's limited choice for vegans on main course.

Came in on a weekday evening around 8pm party of two, not busy but was flat out ignored upon arriving along with another two people. Waited for about 15-20 minutes before just deciding to leave and go elsewhere. I understand closing up early or not being able to sit anymore people but could have at least acknowledged us.

We have attempted twice to go for drinks, and come away thirsty both times. One time we were told it was 45 minutes wait for a drink, the next time staff did not even come to the front desk despite seeing us. Disappointing as potentially a great venue. Not got an axe to grind. We live ten minutes walk away and this could be one of our local spots to eat and drink, but often left disappointed.

Attempted to join family members on the outside terrace for drinks this afternoon, after a lovely walk on Mother’s Day. No such luck however as we were scolded (ironically as a mother would her child) by a condescending and rude member of staff (R) - I must say we were approached in a manner as if one had carried out a dirty protest on the restaurant doorstep. We just wanted a drink?? Did that offend him so much?! I’d be inclined to think maybe ‘R’ had a bad or stressful day- it happens to the best of us! Yet after some careful digging through other reviews I can only conclude that this chap is miserable, and just plain cack at customer service. In several responses to as aforementioned reviews, Bistrot Pierre management claim this is not their standard of service, they are standing by their man! Either this guy is the one responding, or ‘R’ is Mr Congeniality out of work because the bad reviews go way back! I should have called him out for his berating in that very moment, but my mouth was dry, if I’d had even the chance to wet my whistle then I’d have given him what for I tell you! Anyhoo, Happy Mothers Day! Managed to get a consolation prize in the form of a vodka & orange from The View Hotel across the road. Highly recommend. Half expected ‘R’ to appear and drop kick it out of my hands though. Needless to say, won’t be back.

Three of us ate here earlier this week. We have eaten here before too. However, no one was welcoming. The manager seemed miserable as were the staff who other than one waitress were verging on rude. Food was nice but very small portions for what you paid. A few things not available too. Not overly impressed. Thank you very much for your reply

We visited at the recommendation of local hotelier due to the view and tripadvisor review rating. Food and coffee was ok, cake was not as fresh as you would expect from a restaurant. It was dry and lacked taste. Though the restaurant was not flooding on a Friday afternoon, service could have been bit faster. We had to stay longer than expected for bill. We tried contacting the restaurant via their phone line about something else, no one answered. “you are at position 1” for at least 10mins before the calls disconnected on its own for 2 consecutive days. Why have a telephone line when no one answers the calls, Certainly something they should improve on. Certainly won’t be returning.

Arrived with friends planning to enjoy coffee on the terrace overlooking the sea. Terrace was not fully open but we did not expect to be squeezed into a very small area with a few other people. We cannot comment on the food as when we ordered coffee we were told "we are not serving food" so no treats for our friends. Decided to stay but while we waited, and waited it became quite breezy and we advised the waitress we were moving indoors by the window to look at the sea as planned. This was not allowed as it was the 'restaurant area" but we had already been told they were not serving food so we woud not have been taking valuable seats. Returned to our table on the terrace and waited. Eventually when the couple next to us took their coffee back to have it reheated we politely let the waitress know we were leaving. No-one seemed bothered. This was a disappointing and embarrassing experience as I had raised my friends expectations.

Just wanted to say thank you to all the staff at Bistrot Pierre, yesterday 27th, myself and 4 friends turn up asking if we could be fed and gone within the hour with no reservation, as we had a show to see. Plus a 6th person would be arriving shortly. And they did it, fantastic service, efficient they effortlessly added the extra order which was given in a few minutes after. The seabass was delicious. Thank you so much, a super experience .

Visited Bistrot Pierre on the advice of a friend who lives in Eastbourne, and was really pleased with the choice. Despite being busy, we were given table overlooking the beach with fantastic views. Food was excellent ( calamari and gambas to start, with sea bass and Caesar salad as mains ). Expertly looked after by "Debs" who definitely knew how to treat her guests. Highly recommended, and would certainly return when back in Eastbourne.

Update March 2025 This Bistrot Pierre seems to have got it together in terms of service. We have eaten in there several times in the past 4 months, often for breakfast. Service has been consistent - friendly, helpful and welcoming. This is great given the location is superb and a credit to the managers and staff concerned. Update Sept 2023 This place seems carefully curated to always disappoint. A tragedy given it occupies such a great location. From items regularly off the menu, erratic service. Personal and table presentation that is sadly lacking at times. To on this stunningly beautiful late summer morning ruining any chance of enjoying a breakfast by playing thumping music at a quite unnecessary volume. I long for the day this establishment is replaced by something that is more deserving of its position. Previous review pre-pandemic Great venue in Eastbourne and some lovely staff. Let down by very cramped tables and chaotic service when any more than half full. Marble topped tables have always been smeary and glassware less than spotless. Food can be nice - though has a chain restaurant quality. Full breakfast reasonable in price, nice presentation though quality of sausages and black pudding low.

We decided to go to Bistro Pierre for lunch on a whim so had no expectations, but we were blown away by every element of the experience. The food is delicious, with a wide range of options, the service was impeccable and the location couldn’t be more perfect in a sunny spot with unspoiled sea view. Everything has been thought out so carefully and the restaurant feels light, spacious and elegant without being pretentious. I would highly recommend it to anyone and will certainly be returning.

If I go to Eastbourne in the future, I will definitely eat at this restaurant again. I didn't eat the chicken liver. My friend said it was pretty good. The sauce was sweet and the bread was delicious. The shrimp bread is delicious! The truffle bread is delicious too! The taste of sourdough is very good The red wine beef is delicious! Next is the mashed potatoes! There are mushrooms and carrots in there too! The taste of burgundy red wine fillet steak? Delicious too! The meat is very delicious! French fries are delicious too The grilled chicken is very good. It is marinated and the skin is delicious.

Great location on the seafront, with the sea making a nice back drop to eating, especially on a sunny day. Food was nice, and varied, though portions a tad small, which could have been because we had the set menu. All meals were cooked well and to our liking. Service was generally good but a little slow at times on the day we went, not a big issue but would have been if we were in a hurry. Overall would definitely go back. Mahou lager on tap was a big bonus for me, one of my favourites.

Went to the establishment for my soon to be daughter in law's kitchen tea. Although the venue has the most amazing sea views, sadly the service was very disappointing and the other customers were quite loud and raucous. I waited for at least 6 minutes before someone came to the reception desk and told me where in the restaurant the bridal party were seated and as the mother of the groom I was disappointed in being made to be late for the function. The additional service charge of £2.00 should not have been charged given that not much attention was given to the bridal party itself by the waitrons. I also think that a lettuce and tomato sandwich as a replacement for the fish sandwich was a very poor option for the £18.95 high tea. Also on asking for a group photo on the sea facing empty balcony was denied by the waitress meaning that we had to try and squeeze in amongst other customers to try and get a photo. Not good enough for a once in a life time event. We left disappointed.

Ideal location with beautiful sea view. This is however it's only USP. Service and attitude of staff is pretty poor. Only experience of food is brunch which was mediocre with no flexibility.

Went to Pierre Bistro Eastbourne with my friend, had to wait a very long time to order, food average and again had to wait a vast amount of time for desserts, had three different servers and never once asked how we were enjoying the food When it came to paying we were ignored three times, then this server came who I can only explain as very cold, rude and could not be bothered, sarcastic, argumentative and we are paying customers We asked for the bill, also asking for it to divided in three ways, to which she told my friend here us the bill and do it ourselves, when my friend questioned service charge of over £10 and said it was sneaky, the server then got high rated and challenged her then she replied in an angry manner it’s on the menu and you do not have to pay it, she proceeded to take this off our bill, this seemed easy for her to do, but could not split the bill 🙄 for us, how helpful, no smile or thank you, and very much lacking customer service experience As we were leaving twice she said in a sarcastic manner to both of us in our faces, “have a nice day”, this was while she was serving another customer, very professional, I told her to get customer service skills, to which she shouted at me half way down the restaurant, disgraceful, poor staffing, don’t bother going there Ps staff not dressed appropriately this server was dressed in joggers

Came here as the suns finally out and fancied the beach view on the deck over a coffee and brunch. Firstly only the side deck was open which is a shame so no beach view & all crammed into an unnecessary small space. But my review scores are based on the poor service, raul the deputy manager was just rude from the off. You try to order and not finished talking and he is already walking off. Asked about food and told there is non at 11am which initially understandable but people around us served by someone else told yes to pastries. So why not us?! Coffee took ages to arrive. He was also clearing glasses and chucking the drinks remains in the bush beside our table! Like whaaat?! The assistant manager gave off a much better vibe. Not sure I’d return.

This is one of my favourite places in Eastbourne if not the favourite. Summer time on the terrace in the evening is great. Good wine list, cocktails and tapas menu in a buzzy atmosphere. Main menu is great, I’d call it solid bistro food in a good atmosphere and reasonable price. Definitely a reliable option to get dinner at.

A colleague and I were staying at a nearby hotel, so we decided to pop over for food, arriving around 6 pm. There was barely anyone in the restaurant or bar area at this time. The head waiter ( I assume) greeted us, but when we said we hadn't booked, let out a sigh and an eye roll, saying "we're fully booked. You'll have to go in the bar". Going in the bar was not an issue. His attitude towards us was. We were seated and so was another table of 2 next to us. Both us and them ordered around the same time, Their food arrived, except it wasn't their order but ours. The food was whisked but we were assured fresh would be arriving to us. However, less than 4 minutes later, our food arrived, which was the order taken to the other table. We know because my chicken dish was off centre on the plate as the one they'd been presented was.. The food was nice, a bit warmer would have helped. We had waited for drinks, and my colleague went to the bar which again upset Waiter 1 even though the guy who served him was happy to do so. So food was good but the attitude really spoilt the experience.

We do like to use our local Bistrot Pierre whenever we can and in our opinion is the best place to eat in Eastboure. The staff are always extremely attentive and kind. The food has never disappointed us and highly recommend their Sunday Roast. We visited on Sunday the 9th February 24 and were touched at how the member of staff, Adrian, remembered my wife, who had a stroke and can only use one hand, needed her food cut up and asked if he could help to do the task, such an amazing and thoughtful gesture. Full credit to the management as well.

We were allowed to get a table without booking as the restaurant was not even half full but we were sat near the bar with very loud guests next to us. We waited really long to order the food and for food as well. The calamari were good but everything was too salty for my taste. I couldn't distinguish any other flavours because of the huge salt content. Chicken was undercooked and gravy tasted shop-bought. We didn't stay for dessert as we were afraid that maybe they added as much salt to their cakes as to the rest of the dishes. We're definitely not coming back.

I have long been a fan of Bistrot Pierre in Eastbourne, frequently visiting for its stunning views. However, my recent experience has left me with no desire to return. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the deputy manager, Rapl, whose demeanor was surprisingly unprofessional, rude, and arrogant. It’s disheartening to encounter such poor customer service from someone in a managerial role, and it raises concerns about the level of training provided to staff. If this is the standard set by a deputy manager, I can only imagine the overall service quality at the establishment. It’s truly disappointing, as Bistrot Pierre was once a favorite destination for me. Unfortunately, the importance of good customer service cannot be overstated, and this experience has overshadowed the lovely views that initially drew me in.

My daughter has, through her work, visited many top restaurants in the South of England and indeed overseas but this day at Bistro Pierre was very much at the top of her list. The menu, food and service absolutely perfect. Both Hannah and Debs are a real credit to Bistro Pierre and we shall be back very soon hoping to see them both.

The restaurant was absolutely empty, the guy at the door said if we have booking he can sit us no matter the time if not then he can’t. we cancelled our 8pm booking before as we thought we didn’t need it so he said he can’t sit us as they are “ FULLY BOOKED”.

Visited on a very chilly January when their 30% discount was operating. Busy Friday and staff were working hard. All were friendly. Food was really good, but a few items were sold out. Calamari was really good and I would recommend the creme brulee, I would go back for that. Main was boef bordelaise with mash, very tasty indeed. Name check to Moises for doing a great job and having a good sense of humour. Having never been to this chain before, on this showing, I would definitely go to another one. Did well with allergen requirements.

My friend and I enjoyed an early dinner before going to the pantomime at the Devonshire park theatre. Id been for Christmas lunch at the restaurant in December and we had been given a 30%off main meals in January. I often have the Pierre menu, but this is not on the offer. We had a nice table by the window. I chose the roast beef and my friend had the salmon/prawn fishcake. The food was hot and very tasty. We indulged in desserts too, my friend had the crumble and I went fir the cheese and was able to have camembert. The food was served promptly and had a good tine.

I picked this restaurant because it was the closest to my hotel and was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance was lovely, modern and chic. It was dark already so unfortunately there was no view but I imagine it’s spectacular during the day. The staff were all very welcoming, polite, and super quick! I was impressed with wine menu as it has some really good options. I got the soup of the day which was tomato basil, simply delicious. I ordered the John Dory fillet that was on special, and it was absolutely scrumptious. I splurged on the dessert with the winner berry tart and really enjoyed it as well. The plating of everything was pretty, and I left full and happy. Would highly recommend!

We went as a family on Christmas Day to Bistrot Pierre. We had a fantastic time. We have eaten out on Christmas Day on 2 other occasions and by far the food here was the best we have had on Christmas Day. The service was great and the nothing was too much trouble. I had the baked Camembert, traditional Christmas roast and apple strudal for dessert. It was fantastic. If I was being picky the strewdal pastry was a little underdone but otherwise fantastic. I also had the winter apperol and loved it.

It's gone right down hill. The food was poor, I have far better at home. I doubt much of it was freshly made. Service was patchy and one of the waiters was actually rude. It's a lovely site, beautiful building, but if the food and service is poor, what's the point? They sent me a £20 off voucher afterwards , I guess it's a promotion for booking our Xmas meal there. But I won't bother using it.

We did not book due to traveling over 300 miles so took a chance they would have a table, which of course they did, we could see that tables had been booked for large groups, was not expecting a great time, but this was not the case, if fact the manager Pablo even found time to chat with us for a short while, the service given by the staff was attentive without being over the top, and all while they had 2 large parties going on. the food was excellent, we even went back for breakfast the following day as out hotel's breakfast was not great. We even realised that is was a chain and we had 1 in Preston which is close to us, so we will be trying out that venue to. My only small thing that was not made aware and not noticable was that fact they add a 10% service charge to the bill, not that we minded, was not aware unitl the bill came.

Very nice restaurant with friendly staff. We only had dessert and a coffee. The espresso tastes great, really. One of the best I've drunk in a long time. Prices are a little higher, but overall it's ok

Great position, good atmosphere. Staff a little chaotic ask same questions ( ready to order etc) by two different members of staff. One member of staff had a stained 'uniform', but friendly service.

Wonderful Fast service. Lovely atmosphere. The ambience of Eastbourne bistro Pierre has changed for the good with Raul now a part of the management team. He could not have done a better job. Well done and merry Christmas.

We often visit Bistro Pierre in Eastbourne and always recieve excellent service and great food! We celebrated a family birthday last night for a party of 6 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the evening with the General Manager and staff making us very welcome. The food was excellent and atmosphere buzzing as always. We will keep returning! Thank you all and Merry Christmas 😁

With it's location and outlook this place should be heaving, especially at Christmas. However, when we went on Wednesday evening it was very, very quiet. Perhaps the sour face and lack of a warm welcome by the Mature 'd puts people off? Also, booking is a nightmare, as you cannot make a booking at the restaurant, instead it all has to be done via a 'Portal' where you must also leave a deposit. The food was okay, but given the lack of atmosphere and cost, it was pretty average (my pudding was tepid). Would we go again? No. There are nicer places in Eastbourne.

14 of us had lunch here yesterday. Some of us came from Brighton or Hove, whilst others lived in and around the Eastbourne area. The initial booking for 17 people was easy to do and, when three of our party had to drop out for a very sad reason, the restaurant was extremely understanding and offered to return their deposits. The food was excellent, so a big thank you to the chef. We were looked after by Agnes and Charlie, who were both amazing at dealing with a large group. Agnes introduced me to the app, on which I can get special offers, and patiently worked out the bill at the end, including returning the £30 deposit. We all had a great time and will be returning next year. I am more than happy to travel from Brighton. Thank you to the chef, Agnes, Charlie and all the team.

Food was great. Lovely decor and setting. Good value. Staff could do with being more attentive. Had to go wandering to find waiting staff so we could get more drinks. Would benefit from a maître d’ type person keeping an eye on the tables. However we were there on Monday evening when it was pretty quiet, so I appreciate the expense of extra staff is difficult.

What a lovely restaurant! Amazing value and delicious authentic home cooked food. Half price drinks and hearty dishes. We were so lucky to find this place! The waiter was very friendly and attentive and worked very hard to ensure everyone was happy. The Rillettes, tomato and cheese salad, and chicken chowder starter - all delicious. Beef stew, lamb meatballs and lamb stew with ginger all mouth watering and cooked perfectly. Cheese and biscuits dessert, waffles and peach tart also amazing. Half price bottle of wine to top it all off! Three courses for 3 people with a bottle of wine for £44. This is a real gem.
