Bistrot Pierre in Eastbourne

The place has great location and views . Though service is poor

Very nice place by the seaside with a great view to enjoy lunch and plenty of special offers. I would say that to improve, they should replace the water tumblers as they are looking pretty scratched and worn and the serving staff should be briefed of the specials of the day. But overall very pleasant place.

Great views yummy food excellent service

Fantastic place Very good service We never had a bad experience.

Generally ok. Really ought to accept cash though. Oh, and turn the music volume down.

Was very cold due to doors being left open. When customer closed door, the staff opened it again. Also was refused table to eat because had not precooked even though majority of dining tables were empty. We were told to move to the bar area & the dining tables remained empty the whole time we were there? Meaning we could easily have had a dining table to eat at. But because had not precooked they lied saying no tables available when there obviously was! So for reasons above I will not be returning here. Although I have been told the food is very nice.

A lovely restaurant on the Eastbourne seafront. Walking distance from the theatres and tennis centre. Good food, good service and good atmosphere. Recommended.

Lovely food and very decently priced. Friendly staff and great view of the sea

Really subpar service and food. Not worth the money, would rather eat a tesco meal deal

First time here today, and???........ we WILL be coming back.!

Excellent atmosphere, food very niceeeeeeee😁

After a 6mile walk up the Seven Sisters Cliff this place was a wonderful meal. Ordered their home made Beer Bistrot Pierre 94 which was great along with Calamari. The Pork Medallions was ideal lunch and the kids loved Poulet Roti. Overall a great place to have lunch with a view.

Booked a table for my wife & Into go here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and was massively let down. When i called and booked the table i said it was a special night so could we please get a nice window table and there was no note of this when we got there or window table available. staff weren’t friendly at all just did the basic requirement. when seated i asked for bottle of champagne and was told they didn’t have any. asked for pressecco and they only had rosa one available. ended up getting cocktails and the server had no knowledge of any of them. I ordered the steak cooked medium and my wife ordered the fish cake. my wife’s meal was so small in portion and my steak and salad was absolutely awful. steak was so rear it wasn’t even warm and salad look like it came out of a bag and was on the turn. The whole experience turned what was meant to be a lovely night out in to a massive disappointment. Oh the table was so wobbly also and when i told the server they said did we want her to get something to stick under the leg. Will not be going back again.

Loved the food and the fast service. Calamari was absolutely amazing, would have had a bucket

First time going and the service was very bad, food ok, but very disappointed.

Our first time at Bistro Pierre and was very impressed. The food was delicious. The service was good. The view out to sea is amazing & the prices were reasonable. What's not to like? Will definitely be back.

Surprise birthday afternoon tea experience. The reception and service by staff was polite, professional and welcoming. The afternoon tea had a wonderful selection of deep filled sandwiches, scones, savouries, cakes and mini eton mess all with a choice of beverage. All set with breathtaking views of Eastbourne seafront, Western lawn gardens and the historic Wish Tower. Great company and gift.

My favourite place to eat - really good service, food, atmosphere & a view of the sea.

Ripped off. "Classic mojito" glass 3/4 full of ice. 10% service charge added to the bill. Don't bother with this place.

Very good service and modern setting with a beautiful view. The food was ok, like a low to mid market gastropub.

The restaurant smells like the ovens need a good clean! Greasy old oil smell which gets in your clothes/hair. Even when walking past on the seafront you can smell it! The food itself is okay and fairly good for the money- especially if you have the app. Service is good once you’ve got a server- can take a while if they are busy. I would be interested in seeing the most recent hygiene rating as they’ve not had one for a year. The building itself is gorgeous and nicely located, they should do more with the outside seating/bar area and tables overlooking the sea.

Excellent french bistro on Eastbourne sea front.Enjoyable meal and drinks celebrating 80th birthday.

Overall, quick quality service. Food above standard. Expect approx 50-60 pounds for 2 enjoying a meal.

They got the best atmosphere here but the food was social and the stuffs are always busy without keep an eye on customers.

Lovely meal, good service and staff were fine with me dining solo on a Friday night. Enjoyed looking at the sea and reading my book.

I reserved a window table four weeks before our visit but they do not put a reserved signs on the tables so we had to sit near the bar, what is the point of asking you if you have a preference ?. My wife is coeliac I had told them this when I booked but they did not acknowledge this and we had to ask to check on everything to avoid her being UNWELL.

Really pleasantly surprised by the quality of their food. We ordered their 6 course meal. What a pleasure. Highly recommended

Outstanding view and decent food. We were there on a sunny Sunday, and the sea view was quite something. We opted for a two course lunch menu. We asked to swap the new potatoes in the fish cake niçoise for chips and were told it wasn't possible and we needed to buy those a a supplement. The potatoes were described as buttered new potatoes, not quite how I would describe them and there probably were only 3 small potatoes cut up but the rest was tasty and we asked for extra dressing, that was no problem. The crème brûlée was stunning. The service was good. So in all a decent meal. Can't beat the view so would definitely go back.

Our favourite restaurant in Eastbourne! Delicious food, friendly staff and fabulous views. What's not to like?! We had a fabulous and very enjoyable Mother's Day lunch with the family. We were served by Deb who was lovely.

Wow another amazing Lunch for Mothers Day, the staff were exceptional as always. Our extended family 💕 best roast dinner by far 💕

My son took me here today for Mother Day. It was really a brilliant meal and in enjoyed myself. Staff were very nice too!

Wonderful Mother's Day lunch with the family. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, staff were upbeat and efficient and the atmosphere was relaxed. The food arrived promptly and we did not feel rushed as we tackled the 3 courses. The creme brulee was the best I've tasted! Our waitress Deb was fabulous. Definitely our favourite place to eat in Eastbourne

Embarrassing with the family. Just rubbish. Always rubbish food at extortionate pricing. Waitresses were lovely. Cooks are terrible. Don’t eat there !

We had a lovely lunch here today, celebrating my partner's birthday. I must especially compliment the service which was exceptional. Our waitress went out of her way to accommodate my dietary requirements - I'm on a 5 day "w.hite diet" before an unpkeasant medical procedure next Tuesday! (TMI) Aftrr family farewells, my partner and I decided to go back inside and have coffee on the decking outdoors overlooking the sea and setting sun. Perfect.

I would highly recommend. The service was great from start to end and the food was amazing . We came on 9th march at 3pm . Massive shout out to the chefs and the waiters and waitress . Special shout out to balazs the Waiter who really tried to help us get a table with a better view and was great with customer service . Thank you very much we will return .

Main course was terrible sea bass over cooked so much, so were the prawns making them very tough also very expensive want be going back.

So the location is great and interior is nice. When entering the sign asked us to wait to be seated. We waited and waited and eventually decided to take the initiative and find someone to show us to a seat. We only wanted to share a drink. We had one pint of Camden Hells. I saw it poured and then once again we waited and waited for it to be brought to our table. By the time it arrived the head had dissolved and it was literally plonked on our table like a drive-by drug deal. The price being £7.15. You don’t pay that in London. Disappointing.

Great location right on the seafront and excellent food. Good choice of menu competitively priced including the al la carte and the set “specials” menu

Popped in for a coffee about an hour ago . Warm welcome from staff . Served lovely hot coffee , so many places serve it lukewarm so this was a pleasure . My husband sadly had the last piece of cake so I had a pastry , bit were fresh and tasty . Sat by a window with the sun shining in . A very pleasant relaxing visit . In Eastbourne for a couple of days and planning to return for cocktails .

Very lovely experience - every requirement fulfilled.

Food very overpriced, service late pm was poor even though restaurant not overly busy. Latte coffee requested was same as Cappuccino without the chocolate sprinkle, when queried member of staff tried to explain the difference … like it was my first ever coffee, and another said “we don’t have any glasses to serve latte coffee in”. Light snack of poached and smoked salmon with lambs lettuce (two tiny twists) was overpriced, barely more than two dessert spoonfuls. Won’t be eating there again, or recommending. Shame it used to be a favourite place.

We regularly use Bistrot Pierre and always like their food and coffee. Today sadly, we couldn't stay as it was too cold outside to sit with our small dog. It would be great if you could have a small area inside for the many dog owners who like to visit you. This could be separate to the area other visitors use. The manager was charming as usual, but it is a missed opportunity.

Lovely food and wine. Attentive staff Will definitely go again soon

Was looking forward to my visit to Bistro Pierre. The restaurant is in nice location and lovely decor. The staff are friendly and welcoming and very attentive. We ordered the stake and fish cake and the food came out looking great and nicely presented. However, we weren’t blown away by how tasty it was or rather wasn’t. It was nice but it wasn’t WOW! Would I be coming back again for more? Probably not… might come for drinks but probably not the food. Worth trying though.

On a nice day you can see for miles, on a misty day very atmospheric. Seated straight away for lunch, carafe of water brought out without asking- so no pressure on us non-drinkers. Steak frites was great and the tart au citron a great way to finish. If we lived closer we'd visit more often- it was clear from the conversations around us that many of the customers are regulars- always a good sign.

Nice for a drink in the sunshine on the terrace . Dog friendly You do get a service charge just for drinks. I wasn't even given the chance to remove it by the lady server. Hence only 3 stars.

Lovely views, great food and excellent service from our waitress Debs. This is our go to place for breakfast and it’s always great.

Amazing Food and came very quickly. Very friendly service from Deb, giving helpful advice and suggestions from the menu.

We popped in to look for accommodation for our next trip. Incredibly accessible with a purpose built ramp and received a warm welcome. They were kind enough to charge my mobility scooter whilst we sat in the very comfortable and tastefully decorated lounge area overlooking the sea with a hot, hot chocolate and coffee which were served by the helpful barista staff. Toilets lovely and clean. Will definitely stay in future.

Lovely setting, waiting staff were friendly and helpful. Upon arriving and when paying we found the manager/maitre'd to be dismissive and slightly rude. Unfortunately the food was cold. Will probably avoid in the future.

A wondrous location, reaching out across the beach with Beachy Head in the distance. French-inspired food is delicious. Service is courteous and prompt .... and they kindly looked after a laptop that we inadvertently left the day before. Couldn't be bettered.

It was our first visit to this restaurant overlooking the sea. Delicious & wonderful fish dishes. Attentive service from the waiting staff. Will go back again when we come to Eastbourne.

We went to Bistro Pierre today to celebrate our daughters birthday. What a wonderful place. The food was fantastic and the staff were amazing. I think our waitress was called Zee?? She was so good, really friendly and helpful.

So we'll run ,manager runs a slick operation here Consistent quality food . Lovely atmosphere,food cooked to perfection . Lovely staff very effective.

Always great food and lovely views. Service is usually good, although can sometimes be a little hit and miss. Atmosphere can be affected by loud tables nearby. Still good enough that we often book a table. UPDATE: When for valentine's day. Menu had a good selection of choices across 3 courses and a glass of fizz thrown in. All-in-all a nice meal for £38/head.

We were in a bit of a rush so I paid for a couple of quick coffees at the till. Was later surprised to see I'd paid a 10% service charge, without it being mentioned. That's a bit cheeky and has put me off going back, especially with so many other nice eateries around needing the business.

Visiting the restaurant before has been good, unfortunately this time given my wife has an intolerance to onions and challots, which the restaurant had been informed about on booking a table where unable to offer any meals on the menu with the waiter walking away....

Oh dear!!!!! Waitress couldn’t be bothered, expecting better! Menu on line not available and wine ordered didn’t arrive cos they lost the ticket! Very poor all round I’m afraid!!!! Looked like we were in for a treat but sadly lacking.

Beautiful place!! I invited my friend for a lunch (last minute idea) and you guys, you did your best. Restaurant is very cozy, clean, at great location and with fantastic views. Food was AMAZING, all cooked with love. We were served with smile and kindness.THANK...

Thanks to Alessandro and Chloe... they were so welcoming

Bistrot Pierre is located on a beautiful beach 🏖️ alley with awesome sea view 🌅.As it's so busy place would be good idea to pre book a table ,as we did ,to avoid any disappointments.Great place to visit for breakfast,brunch,lunch coffee break or dinner -personal choise😉.We choose to have lovely breakfast and enjoy the full sunshine 🌞there.We were lucky with the weather 😉.The food was great 👌and the art coffee was perfect 🤤.I must admit we had great time all in all ! Bistrot Pierre is great place to visit ,I would highly recommend it.

The food was very good and Dani our waitress was very attentive and kind. Just a bit slow for the main course but they kindly give us discount.

I sent back my plate because I felt the piece of pork medallion was derisory. Certainly a lot smaller than my wife’s two pieces. The waitress agreed it was small. What replaced it was two pieces instead of one but combined it looked no more...

So disappointed! This used to be one of my favourite restaurants in Eastbourne. We were party of 9 who had all pre-ordered. Food arrived after 1 hour for mains and then coq au vin was not as it should be and veg tagines arrived with chicken !

Very nice location and also pleasing interior. However the lady (maybe Senior member of the restaurant team) showed no manners and blatant indifference. Her entire behaviour was actually Insulting although I have no idea if this was deliberate or simply her character. There may be a notice that states a service charge is applied and if so I simply did not pay attention. In view of this waitresses poor conduct I was annoyed to receive a bill that was higher than stated on the leaflet on display for the items I purchased because of the inclusion of an additional service charge. It is galling to pay for a poor standard of service that actually was Insulting to me as the customer.

Great value breakfast, looked after by the wonderful Deb! Felt very welcome and wasn't rushed, even though my friend was very late in arriving...thank you Deb! As always, delicious food, delicious ingredients. See you again soon :)

Good food, friendly staff, reasonable prices.

Big and noisy. Small portions for the money. Nice view.

Just an amazing place to eat, great food, super location and the staff are awesome. Alessandro the duty manager was fantastic, couldn't fat the service provided.

Very nice buzzy Saturday evening atmosphere but not too noisy. Service was excellent- friendly and attentive without constantly being asked if everything was okay. Interesting menu with a great range of choice. Reasonably priced. Our steak and fish were beautifully cooked and presented. Would return...

Really nice bottle of wine to share. Super steak, beautifully cooked calamari. Loved it

Wonderful location.The greensward in the foreground,The Grand Hotel to the right,the Channel to the left and ahead the start of The South Downs.The restaurant is offering excellent menus at a bargain price.It is deservedly busy.There must be a good chef in residence at the moment

Little slow once we ordered our cocktails

Had a good Sunday roast and a cheese board. Good quality in a great location over the beach. Lovely french inspired restaurant.

The food is excellent. They also have some great deals if you join Club Bistro

Beautiful sea view to enjoy our breakfast with. Full English was delicious with decent sausages. Debs our waitress was attentive and friendly.

Great location and on a sunny day like summertinme in the winter months.

Great breakfast, but staff were a bit miserable!

We had a lovely meal at Bistrot Pierre in Eastbourne. We were a group of four and very much enjoyed the food - the mussels starter was particularly delicious. The only small issue was we were quite cold - we moved seats which helped a bit and the staff closed the back door for us but it definitely could have been a bit warmer! NB if you are eligible, there is a Blue Light Discount here.

Dobre jedzenie w przystępnej cenie. Warto wcześniej zarezerwować miejsce. Napiwek doliczany bez pytania o zadowolenie klienta.

Bistrot Pierre, Eastbourne Good staff and excellent food,,,,,,, nice presentation too. Alex is a great guy, also the duty manager Jerad is an excellent guy with a good customer care approach. We are regular at the Bistrot Pierre; we do love the special deals. Presently...

We love to eat out and really appreciate good food but sadly this fell short of expectations. It's a nice looking venue but a bit noisy inside but it is what it is. Mussels for my starter while tasty were served barely warm but I ate them rather than have them pinged in the microwave. I ordered the pork medallions but I was surprised to see how fatty each one was - although tender, they were certainly not loin. Although the sauce was flavoursome, the dauphinoise potato piece was hardly cooked with no colour and rather dry and the green beans were so tough I couldn't decide if I was actually eating the stalk of the plant - I did mention the beans but barely got a response. We didn't bother with desert, the choice wasn't very inspiring. I was also disappointed by the wait from ordering to service and the wait between courses, not acceptable when the restaurant really was not busy. Overall a bit pricey for small portions. We were a group, and when we recieved the bill we were surprised to see there was a whopping 15% service charge tax added which I find really insulting - a tip should be totally discretionary and if you can't afford to pay your staff enough then don't treat customers as if it's the USA and just add it on. You should be using it so you have enough staff working and cut the waiting times. I don't need a reply because anything under 5 stars just gets a copy & paste standard apology.

Lunch out with friends good food and service wonderful catch up

Food and service excellent. A lovely venue.

Perfect as usual. The tagines were delicious, we had both. Creme brulee was gorgeous and generous. Was a little problem with the bill, a drink we did not ordered or had. But the waiter was great no problem. We paid separately and he did each bill with the tip. No headache for the one who does not want to add up. Haha! The best place in town. Thank you.

Nice environment, I wish oat or skimmed milk was provided but soy is okay.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Bistrot Pierre on numerous occasions, and it never disappoints. The food consistently arrives promptly and maintains a high level of quality. What makes this place stand out, in addition to its cuisine, are the breathtaking views that enhance your dining experience. It's the ideal combination of delicious food and captivating scenery. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking good food and breathtaking views!

Always a great experience, tried the £10 deal, excellent value delicious food

Nice lunch, a little pricey and service is included automatically

I'd been here in December and enjoyed that meal. This tine we came for a pre theatre early dinner at 4pm and enjoyed the dine for £10 main meal menu. We all opted for tagines, 3 vegetarian and one chicken. They were able to provide gluten free bread when requested. We all loved the food. For dessert we stayed on the January special menu and went for lovely sticky toffee pudding and chocolate ice cream for £3.50 each. We had a table with a great sea view, although you can't reserve a specific table. I'm planning to come back again and enjoy more great food and fantastic views.

First class service from Balazs and you can’t beat the minute steak and chips for value. Also the restaurant with the best view.

Had a lovely family lunch. It was my wife’s birthday and we had 6 of us from 22 to 93. There was a great range of choices, something for everyone. Food was excellent overall however unfortunately one of the Sunday roasts was not terribly hot. Mussell starter was great as were the chorizo sausages. Good coffee. All portions were ample no waste and nobody left wanting. We were lucky to receive a “blue light “ discount which they were happy to combine with their own voucher/loyalty scheme. Net result a real bargain. The restaurant was busy and we were all having different things some with starters some with puds some with coffees . Timing was excellent. Nobody left with nothing in front of them.

Generally a good watering hole, but can be noisy, so beware (especially if you wear a hearing aid)

Ten of us, including three grandchildren under ten, visited for a post New Year’s Day walk dinner. Top marks all round, food, location, and above all service.our waitress, Agnes, was brilliant. Can’t wait to go again

Came here with my boyfriend for date night and we had a great time! A big thank you to Zee who did an amazing job! I had the soup de jour, French onion, and he had French rarebit which were both lovely! For main I...

First time here and had brunch and our experienced was very good. The place was very nice at the beachfront and very spacious and very busy too but we got seated right away. I had the Traditional Breakfast and it was very good and tasty....

Fabulous Christmas Lunch right on the beach. Food is 😋 and Desserts really special. Best of all is the attentive service + huge welcome from Pablo + Anna while very busy. Great sociable cosy atmosphere for meeting friends. Thank you for making my Christmas 2023...

Lovely venue with sea views Can be noisy Lovely pork medallion nicely presented French fries spoil meal Automatic tipping added to bill

What an authentic french oasis in Eastbourne
