Bistrot Pierre in Wyre Forest

Delicious. Service attentive. Lovely restaurant. We had three courses, two alcoholic drinks each and a coffees to finish - with the service charge came it at £76 which I think is fantastic value for money. Will return.

10/10 great restaurant food is amazing been coming here for years staff are great good atmosphere and the new is fantastic menu ….Christina, Diana, Vik and all the team nothing is too much trouble. Thank you for my Free bottle of wine too (Birthday Perks) sign up for the club bistro app it’s free ….love a freebie!

Used to love this restaurant in Kidderminster but there is a reason why it’s empty on a Sunday lunchtime, 2pm (11 Covers) the food was so poor, family meal for four. French onion soup served cold, I mean how hard is it too warm soup up, no cheese crusted top just a hard bit of bread, send back obviously popped into the microwave and sent back in the same bowl and plate with spillage marks all down the side. Sirloin of beef replaced with topside of beef, the beef was tough and inedible. Stale Yorkshire puddings all around, I could have taken Jackie chan out with these weapons. Roast potato’s sloppy and flavourless, in fact everything needed seasoning. Deserts served apart from the lemon tart, I actually thought they had forgotten it only to be half 5 minutes later they had none available by this point the rest of the family had almost finished theirs. Creme Brûlée decent to be fair but needs a biscotti or something similar or even a bit fruit as served as it is. £131 later which included a £12 service charge. Really disappointed. We won’t be returning like the rest of Kidderminster it seems.

Great food and lovely atmosphere staff very tentative would definitely recommend great menu of French cuisine definitely going again

I visited yesterday afternoon, while looking for properties in Kidderminster. I received a warm welcome and didn’t have to wait around long for the menu. It was a bit quiet in respect of customers, the heavy rain didn’t help I guess. I ordered a steak, medium rare. When it arrived it was served with fries, a small portion of salad and peppercorn sauce. The steak was very enjoyable, the peppercorn sauce was good. Fries were ok, I think steak chips would be the better option in future. Overall, not mega expensive and a pleasant experience. The service I received from both members of staff (male and female) was very friendly and if I do find the property I’m looking for in Kidderminster, I would certainly go back.

Meal was OK. Serving staff very pleasant but service was very slow. It was about a 40 minute wait for starters. Mains OK but nothing special.

This is a nice restaurant. I went here while visiting Birmingham and was satisfied with my experience. I walked into here and was seated at a table on their lower level. I ordered the bread starter, which is a singular piece of bread. This bread was quite good. I then ordered the rotisserie chicken, which was delectable. It was a large piece of chicken that was well oiled and seasoned. It came with a side of pommes frites, which were also good. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish it because I was too full from the bread. After finishing my meal I left, satisfied with my experience. I gave this restaurant five stars because it has amazing rotisserie chicken and bread, as well as good pommes frites.

Lovely French bistro in the heart of Birmingham. The food was amazing as was the service. The drinks were not bad either. Highly recommend it for a meal.

Really deteriorated since last visit. Chicken liver pate still good but now served with hard, thin toasted bread. Chicken Normandy ok but not as good as previous chicken mains. Dauphinoise a bit burnt.

We supposed that nothing these days is as it was but having visited this place for lunch they were only four tables taken and perhaps it shows why The food was ok we suppose however the mushroom starter was wet soggy and chewy The steak and pork were delivered reasonably presented and more or less acceptable Wines are pretty expensive and the so-called app is useless unless you happen to go twice a week which would be a surprise Looks like another one going downhill which is a pity as there are very few places in the now run down Kidderminster to eat reasonably Other branches of the same chain seem to do better There have been comments about the staff and we would endorse the fact that they are the most useless pair we have ever come across Travel out of town to eat next time

One of the first places I went to in the UK and one of the creamiest desserts I tried. Definitely recommend it. The coffee was also tasty in this combo, the view from the outdoor terrace is nice and I suggest you to try it on a sunny day.

A beautiful restaurant, lovely atmosphere, great service, the starter was delicious... Just a shame that the main wasn't great

Long wait for food and drinks. And only warm.

Would not recommend for breakfast. We were seated at a table, asked if we wanted to order drinks which we did. Our drinks took over 20mins to arrive. There were only 4 other tables in the restaurant. We ordered our breakfasts, to be told they had no sausages for a breakfast. This should have been said when we were seated. I opted for the veggie breakfast instead, my partner had the standard breakfast, he was offered extra bacon or eggs in exchange for not having sausages. After ordering our drinks finally arrived. We then waited 30mins for our breakfasts to arrive. The standard breakfast looked dry and was over cooked. The veggie breakfast was abysmal. Poached eggs were very under cooked, I was given bread and not toast with no butter. The avocado was brown and I also found egg shell in my food. The new potatoes were barely cooked. We did complain, I was offered another breakfast to which I refused. The veggie breakfast and my drink were taken off our bill. When we asked for the bill, we then waited another 15mins for the bill to arrive. At this point there were only 3 other tables including us in the restaurant. Customer service could be improved also.

Stopped for breakfast. Food was good and good price but service was verrrry slow and people arriving after us were served well before us - very annoying

Mothers day meal very disappointing. Ran out of chicken and roast beef was more like cheap minute steak and so over done hard to cut into, beef bourginion was fatty and also chewy. We had one meal taken off the bill as it was inedible but when bill arrived the £60 deposit had not been taken off and was then told they only received £30! Luckily we had email to confirm that full deposit had been received. The service was really slow although the waiter was really nice. There was also a £19 service charge added which was not mentioned. Very sorry but won't be back.

My husband and I were late to our reservation but Bristol Pierre happily accommodated us. We both had the calamari, sea bass fillet and crème brûlée. The meals were delicious, filling and full of flavour. The lovely gentlemen that served us were very friendly and the atmosphere was intimate. We’d definitely recommend this restaurant and we’ll be visiting again.

Dined here with four family members on 10.03.2024 on Mother’s Day evening (a Sunday) and had a very disappointing overall experience. Despite booking a table for 6:30pm, we were told to wait in the bar and weren’t seated until 10 minutes after. We presumed this was just because they were busy but once we were finally led to our table, we were taken to a completely empty room with no other diners despite there being four/five tables other tables. The room had no atmosphere and felt cold. Thankfully, a couple of other parties arrived after us. We ordered drinks and my pint of Mahou was room temperature at best and pretty uninspiring. The starters were good, and my chicken liver parfait was tasty and a decent size. Likewise, the chocolate mousse dessert was good and well presented. However, what really let the food side of the meal down was the beef bourguignon, which four out of five of our party ordered. Thinking it was a French restaurant, we thought this would be a safe bet. How wrong we were. The mash potato had the texture of something that had been microwaved and the beef was sadly lacking (as you can see from my photo) — three small chunks and it was definitely not slow cooked like bourguignon should be. It was tough, fatty and not like any I have ever tasted. All four of us who ordered the same, reported the same feedback so it was hugely disappointing. I then heard the waiter ask the table next to us how their meal was, to which one of the ladies responded “hmm, very gristly beef” so I’m going to presume they had ordered the same. On to the staff, it was a dark haired slim chap serving us and to say he was rude and disinterested would be an understatement. At one point, my partner went searching for the toilet and asked him where she could find them, and his response was extremely surly. Every time he delivered a plate, it was practically thrown at us and he made no attempt to engage other than handing us our food or taking our orders. When we asked to take the service charge off our bill at the end and explained why, there was no apology, no reaction, nothing. He clearly didn’t want to be there and it rubbed off on his diners, who didn’t want to be there either. When you are paying those kind of prices, you expect better quality of food and the decency of a friendly server. Unfortunately we didn’t get that tonight at Bistro Pierre, Birmingham. Far better French restaurants around.

It was busy. It was Mother’s Day. Having said that waiting half an hour to get some water and order drinks was not good. Then an hour to receive the starter and a further 30-45 minutes for the main course. The food was poor. Food sent back as it was cold. Other meals overcooked with even mushrooms that were hard to cut! Even a large profiterole was hard on the outside, a sign of being in the kitchen for a long time. We didn’t pay the service charge but the truth is they didn’t have the kitchen staff or serving staff for the day. The only way we could make this clear was not to pay the service charge. The food was really awful. We will not return

French food slightly lacking in flavour. The service was quite brusque and they felt rushed (it took a few goes to get the bill for example). Had the prawn starter, which was generous in its portion and tasted good, and the confit duck, which was cooked well, but lacked the incredible flavour of confiture duck I expected. The food was OK and the portion sizes were good, but there are better independent places for French food at a similar price.

Dropped in for a birthday treat dinner with my wife. Staff were helpful and friendly. The issue for us is a number of choices we made were unavailable. The food was mediocre, nothing wrong with it but not special. A wrong desert was served, lemon sorbet ordered but plant based vanilla ice cream arrived to the table, this gave us a smile and joke about the sorbet also being unavailable, was a simple human error and no problem, quickly corrected, though the sorbet was not great, no fresh lemon zing. I had a main of boeuf bourguignon which was ok but not as good as from my local pub for £10.95. Perhaps my expectations are too high. Again, the staff were great, I didn’t resent the automatic gratuity but did the cost of the food for what it was. Won’t bother going back.

Food just a bit uncooked but probably is just my taste

Staff were helpful and service was good but food was disappointing, me and my partner had steaks which had more fat than edible meat on them and the fat ran through the middle of the steaks so we're not completely edible. So if your someone like me who is a picky eater with textures I don't recommend the steaks however everything else was lovely.

Amazing food.....nice staff. Highly recommended

What a disspaointment, the waiters both female lady and gent both were awful at thier jobs and not very observant, having being sat down at approx 7pm we were left to peruse the menu, some 20 mims later the male waiter asked if we wanted to order drinks, we did with a bowl of olives, the olives arrived but no drinks, some 15mins later the male waiter came over and said they have lost our drink order somehow and so we ordered again, a further 10mins passed we then finally got drinks, then after another 20 mins he came over to ask for our order, by this time having already waited some time and seeing the people on the table infront having been served both drink and food some 30mins after we arrived we were just hungry so ordered 2 mains, then we waited and waited and waited again watching other people having come in after us having drinks and mains we could not wait any longer another 30mins passed, my partner said just ask for the bill for the drinks and lets go, so we wasted an hour and a half. having then spoke with the waiter he just looked at me, i asked why we had waited so long, no answer just a blank look on his face, we were told we disnt have to settle the bill and so left. im sure the food is great as this place as was recommeded by family saying how amazing the dishes were sadly we never had oppotunity to try, and so a belated valatine celabration suprise ruined by, and i choose my words carefully and accuratley having eaten out at many resturants, the worst example of poor observational, and badly trained front of house staff i have encountered, lacks, un attending and clealy not meant for the hospitality sector. I hope the manager reads this and takes action.

Simply put, just the best place to eat or celebrate with as meal. Lovely place, highly recommend.

Went on Valentine’s Day, mid afternoon, no booking required. The welcome was really warm and extremely professional. Being a french chef, I was delighted About the standard of the food! It was fresh, well seasoned and delightful! Had a bottle of picpoul de pinet, really good and good value for money. All staff, where exceptional! Our waitress was second to none. Met the head chef too. Absolutely, a beautiful time! Will be back and will recommend to all!!

Although it appears to be a chain (we were there in Swansea-Wales last summer), you can also eat very well here and the prices are acceptable for today's times!!! The restaurant or restaurants that we have visited so far are located on the water and have a very nice atmosphere!!!! Always my pleasure !!!

Went for a lovely meal this afternoon with family after organising a Christmas works meal before Christmas that was equally enjoyable. Prompt and unfussy service with simple but beautifully crafted French cuisine. Ate at the restaurant again today (7/2/24) with work colleagues for lunch. Great service despite being late for the booking. Varied menu with good veggie options and excellent front of house. Checked for allergies with guests before everyone ordered. Good safe practice.

Very nice canalside venue Food was good but only French themed,not French quality

First class staff and food. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. Staff were very attentative and friendly. Will definitely return

Just wonderful French food and fantastic ambiance. Great staff and lovely decor, house wine good value. Didn’t want to leave

Not bad, a decent French meal, chicken liver is okay, slow-cooked beef is also okay, it’s too troublesome to cook at home. If you use the discount, remember to figure it out when you check out to avoid them overcharging.

We used Bistrot Pierre for our family Christmas get together (20+) the staff were perfect and the food was great, especially as there were so many of us!!

Food was dire! Burnt and family member who had a vegan meal had the runs! Really below par. Shame as good surroundings

I went to this lovely place, and the food was really tasty, nicely presented, and there was plenty on the plate (which I appreciate). I had a starter, main course, and dessert, and honestly, I was stuffed. The only thing they could work on is the timing of bringing out the dishes – having more consistent gaps and serving things in the right order would make it even better.

Awful place. I came here on the 15th December and I would not recommend it. The staff were so miserable and impolite. Food was not the best or the warmest.

Gorgeous food and restaurant, friendly professional staff, great service..highly recommend :o)

Really enjoyed the evening but as it was Christmas there was pressure to eat and move. Food was brought out quickly and we were told when we had to vacate which took the shine off the meal.

Lovely place with very tasty food!

I went here for an office Christmas meal as part of a team of 20. The whole experience was great. The staff were very helpful through the booking process and were flexible when I had to book a few extra seats. The food is very good. The best I've had of any Christmas meals in the last 5-6 years. The dining experience was great, everything was very well coordinated and nobody was waiting for food. I would highly recommend Bistrot Pierre, especially for any large parties.

Always happy to eat at Bistro Pierre and this was no exception. Food could have been hotter but given this was Christmas period with large lunch parties in I was more than sstisfied with the quality of the food.

I visited with a group of friends, even though Iusualgo to the mere green one but this was more central for my friends. Food was up to their usual high standards. This is the first time back after the lockdown. I will definitely be back.

Most of the staff were rude and slightly argumentative it was almost as if they went out of their way to be rude.

Nice place with a menu offering a good choice of gluten free dishes

Lovely meal Christina was amazing thank you polite, helpful and smiley will defiantly come again in the New Year

So quiet in the restaurant even on a Saturday evening. Streak frites tasted of fish as if it had been cooked in the fish pan, smelt and tasted of fish and not meat. Even after mentioning this there was no gesture of goodwill to reimburse us or offer a complimentary drink or pudding.

Popped in for the Coffee and Cake offer. Told that as we ordered the scone and a pastry there may be a short delay as they are cooked fresh. Sounds very good. Disappointed when they arrived a few minutes later. The pastry was cold -...

Food was late,lukewarm,overcooked vegetables. £30 worth of rubbish. Had to inform staff 3 times that one of party had no desert.

Great vibe and lovely food - each course was great. Chantelle looked after us admirably and her bubbly fun but professional approach was a great boost to what was a great evening out !

Nice place, good atmosphere along with good service. Nice starter's and main course. Good selection of deserts. Worth going and we will go again 👍👍

The food was very good and the set menu selection very competitively prices. The wine was pricey, though. Good atmosphere and very pleasant staff. Thank you.

Good little bistro bar. Reasonably priced. Shame more cocktails weren't on the 2 for £12 offer.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening with friends. Delicious food and wonderful service from the very friendly and efficient Chantelle. Thank you. We will definitely return soon.

Last minute choice, table great by window looking over the canal, food superb, service great, will go back again

Met for a family lunch. Nice food at a reasonable price. Very popular and staff rather stretched

Good food once again, our server was Madi who was, as she was on our last visit very helpful and friendly. Always with a lovely smile.

Very cozy place. I managed to get a table reserved last minute, but the food was amazing. Haddock filet was out of this world 😋

Very disappointed. Had Mushroom starter, which was on soggy bread and didn’t taste good at all. Rump steak main course was of poor quality, too tough and was well done , not medium as requested . For what we spent (£33 per head ) , I expected better quality food.

Nice food and atmosphere, staff were attentive , we regularly visit as we get the same level of service always.

Amazed at the team's responsiveness. They have a new digital loyalty app and after our last visit 10 days ago we said this was impossible for my 89 year old Mum. Within 2 hours the lovely Madi had been in touch to say they could...

Good food, staff tried to be attentative, but seemed a bit short staffed. Atmosphere could do with a bit of background music low. But will definitely be back.

We had a very pleasant lunchtime here. The food was very good as was the service. We can highly recommend.

What a lovely Saturday afternoon ..the food was excellent service perfect and price brilliant value I’m not a fan of the tips being automatically added but hey ho I thought it was good value

Group of 4 of us from work went on a Monday evening recently, we had no booking but they were able to seat us and let us know there might be a slight wait for our order to be taken. The same guy greeted us, showed us to our table, took our orders and served everything, he was covering lots of sections but we didnt really have to wait long at all. We all had different meals off the menu, all with different sides too and every one of us enjoyed what we had ordered. The house draft beer wasnt great and there was only a choice of two on that night (think there were other bottled beers I wish I'd opted for) as the house was very very light, watery and pretty flat. The alcohol free cocktail one of the table had went down really well as did a proper cocktail. The food menu was a great break from the chain stuff in the area, french inspired with something I would say for all tastes. The steak ordered for one of the table looked great and the dauphinoise potatoes were really really good. They were happy to swap out the french beans for brocolli on a dish too for us which was nice and made for a great meal after a long working day. I'll happily go back when I am working in the area again as it really was a nice different menu to all the places around and there were lots of dishes I picked my meal from that I would have been just as happy to have got.

The burger was delicious. I loved the jus in the miniature sauce pan.

Amazing food, value for money with set menus and incredibly lovely and attentive staff. Warm, friendly atmosphere.

Toughest steak ever. Ok, they never charged for it, but not a great food experience.

What a disappointment. The building is still in a beautiful location overlooking the Gas Street canal, but as for anything happening inside, we were sorely let down. The service was appalling; not due to the two members of staff, but there were only two of them looking after the phones, greeting clients, manning the bar, taking orders, serving, etc., etc. Not good. To add to it, half of the things on the menu were off! My starter and desert were divine when I actually got them, but the main course was atrocious. Chicken Chasseur or so they called it. The chicken breast was overcooked and dry and hadn't seen the Chasseur sauce before it was plonked on top of what was probably the sauce for the bourguinon - dreadful. Lots of frustrated clients trying to attract attention of the staff to order drinks or deserts. Sorely disappointed by what was previously a lovely place to dine and enjoy good food and drink.

Visited today for Lunch. The food was excellent, the staff very friendly but you need more staff. We used to come here a lot when it first opened years ago but the service just got slower and slower so we stopped coming, I am surprised...

Great place to go in kidderminster. Feels like you're proper dining out. Great decor, ambience, friendly and efficient staff, delicious quality food and reasonably priced. Been 4 times now and will definitely go again.

Frankie was so good and so friendly, very obliging to our needs... well done Frankie, from the visitors from Australia

Excellent meal for friend's 60th birthday. The staff were very helpful in enabling wheelchair access quickly and easily.

Read previous reviews about slow service. On the day was brilliant came in late due to parking, got served quickly, food amazing and decent price, coming again

Came here with my fiancé and what an amazing meal ikr was! We are so lucky this is our local Restaurant! Always good value and amazing food! See you again soon.

We were so impressed with the lovely food, full of flavour, and the ambience, service, level of attention, value for money, that we (three of us) returned the following night and had a similarly excellent meal. Cannot recommend this more highly.

Lovely afternoon tea overlooking the canal. Food and services great. Restaurant was very quiet but didn't detract from the lovely food

Restaurant has very good customer service, the staff are very polite. The food quality is good, definitely recommend eating here and will be in the future

First class service, friendly staff and good food. Nice choice of wines. Pleasant views of Gas St canal basin.

Excellent value for money. Inexpensive, especially if you sign up for Club Card.

Chose of the lunch time menu. Mine was nice for the price (fish cake nicoise with squid to start). Went with a group of people and we'd been asked to pre-order, but it still took a long while for food to come out even tho not that busy. Service was good and staff friendly. Nice location overlooking the canal. Will definitely come back

Waiter hit the nail on the head poor service, Slow dawdling basically unprofessional waitress spoilt the meal and cost the restraunt money.

Tired the beef bourguignon and the pork belly and they both were lovely. Well presented and good flavours. I would only comment that compared to all other restaurants I have eaten at, the pork belly piece was small. Service was very friendly. Prices are reasonable. It is one of my favourite restaurants to go to for a relaxed meal.

Lovely setting, particularly once the sunglasses gone down and the lights are on, in the basin. Ask for a table over looking the canal - a bit squashy but worth the view.

Wine and food,.took their time but there was wine and i was in no hurry

What has gone wrong here? Is it Brexit and lack of suitable staff? Supply chain issues? Whatever it is, after years of being a sound choice at various locations around the country, this particular site appears to be badly on the slide. The predominantly young waiting staff were courteous and efficient but that couldn't deflect from the fact that the food was awful. A 'tagine' that was like a bowl of couscous covered with a tin of tomatoes, Sunday roasts with the strangest selection of vegetables (a mountain of sweet red cabbage anybody?) and worst of all, a massively overcooked salmon fillet - at one point I thought I was eating the skin, but it was a half centimetre layer of burnt flesh - on what was laughably described as a risotto with a saffron infusion. This was more like Thai sticky rice, stuffed with peas, in a soup of yellow stuff, reheated in the oven. I notice that one of the founders of the chain is now advising on the food and drink offering at a new development in Nottingham and has presumably left the Bistrot Pierre company, so maybe it's the classic case of new management completely losing sight of the original vision. Whatever it is, we certainly won't be going back any time soon.

My pork belly was tender and the crackling real crispy.

Birthday meal... Small selection for Vegan my friend struggled. Tasty meals but not very filling.

Lovely place. Tasty food. Caring staff.

Very lovely experience, great service and delicious food.

Good service but overall the food was well cooked just lacked seasoning to bring out the flavours.

Not the best at all, only had two courses and both were awful, firstly most of the items we required were off, No duck breast, No Halibut No duck and no chicken at all Will we be going back ……..Nope !!!!

Fine Dining on a fixed price menu - Result!

The duck entre was very poor, tasty but very little duck for £8. 8oz rump steak for medium rare was very rare, but tasty again with the peppercorn sauce although not much of the sauce in my view (a little pot)

We went there for afternoon tea set without knowing it needs pre-booking. So we tried the lunch set. Glad that the food was good and overall atmosphere was pleasant. The only downside was we were sitting right next to the door and every time people walk past, the floor make loud noise and table shake a bit.

Menu looks good but... Had calamari- very chewy and no flavour despite saying spicy but even the calamari tasted of nothing ! Followed by burger - chunky beef burger but over cooked and very dry with dry bread roll. It was a disappointing visit and had to wait a long time in between courses (40 mins) Things were missed off the food order and long wait to get them. Would not go again sadly.

Short staffed but they coped well. Good value.

Disappointing, to be honest. Previous visit was excellent. Today though, had the Sunday roast beef. Was asked if I wanted of pink or well done. Not sure why they bothered as it came well done and half of it was gristly and not edible. One meagre slice. Two small half roast potatoes and a spoon full of veg. Sadly, not great value or great quality. My partner's chicken was also way over done and dry. Our puddings were both nice though. It's a shame as it's a lovely building in a nice setting, but with lots of new places popping up in that area they really need to up their game.

Very nice service. Amazing bourdoux wine. The place is so romantic and cosy. Good location for relax and romantic date.

On entering we were taken to a table , crumbs on chair. We had to eventually ask for a drink, they were not busy only a handful of customers in at 4.30,ordered steaks waitress came back only one steak, waiter came back again no sweet potatoe fries. Wrong food arrived, two side dishes missing and Food cold. , we got a discount on bill but that’s not the point it was a Sunday lunch ruined, very disappointed.,
