Bistrot Pierre in Swansea

Good food , great venue , with excellent service. Reasonably priced, with loads of winter special offers.

big congratulations to everyone

We just walked in Jack the waiter was really friendly, food and service was exceptional. My wife had the bavette and I had the chicken with toulouse sausage, both very very good. Thanks guys we will be back 👍

Party of 17 booked for 8.15 on 20th of December, pre order menu sent 4 days before arrival. Table not ready. Starters served 45 minutes after everyone was eventually seated and all were served at different times. Main course left a lot to be desired especially the turkey roast which tasted like processed meat served with all but burnt and dry roast potatoes, again all served at different times and definitely not worth the prices charged. Waitresses were clearly stressed and this was apparent in their manner and service delivery. At one point we had to repeat our menu orders because they had an incorrect number but we were made to feel that it was out fault. The table itself was laid with glasses, napkins and cutlery but nothing festive such as crackers. All in all a complete shambles. A very expensive but not impressive evening.

Great location. Food was surprisingly average. Very small portions. Quite expensive.

Had a lovely meal with old friends, for a late Christmas dinner, lovely surroundings, great atmosphere, food was excellent, great staff, nothing was a problem, treats for our dog, we had a lovely afternoon.

Food was lacking in volume and it was very expensive, we won't go there again to eat.

Just come home after a lovely meal for 2 for Christmas... both of us struggling with bad colds but made the decision to go for it. No complaints about food service or atmosphere. All excellent thank you

Slow service. Parts of the meals were cold. Food quality is worthy of an average French Brasserie. Rarebit = Cheeze on Tesco crumpet with splash of chutney. The main courses were served looking like they’d been ready and waiting for a while. Had to ask 3x for water. The wine was opened and just left on the table. Using the app at payment was very confusing. We said we’d pay half the service charge but they said all or nothing LMAO. Not recommended at all.

This bar/restaurant is in a beautiful location on the sea front in Mumbles. Arrived at 1030 for a late breakfast. Not much space as tables were mostly full. I ordered full breakfast which was very good and 2 eggs perfectly fried over easy. Moganna worked hard to serve everyone quickly and kept a lovely smile on her face. A credit to the establishment. One drawback which was dirty and did not get cleaned before the food was delivered. Good quality coffee

Shame they close food service from 11-12. Updating my review as this place has had a real turn around. Quick and friendly service with some nice simple food at good prices. Good job on getting this place back on track. Nice place to sit and watch the world pass by with a great view of the bay.

We had my 50 th birthday meal yesterday in the private function room, there was 24 of us and I would personally like to thank Richard for hosting the room everything was amazing nothing was too much trouble he served the alcohol and timed all the meals perfectly The food was delicious. ( please this on to the chefs) Thank you Richard you made a special occasion stress free.

You wouldnt know this is a chain restaurant due to the extremely high quality of food and service received. The food tastes amazing and good sized portions, and the service from all staff encountered has been exemplary. If I am ever in the area I always make a point of going here! The potato dauphinoise are the best I have ever had

Fabulous place, wonderful atmosphere and the food was excellent

Lovely restaurant, Christmas decorations were very subtle. The food was delicious and staff very friendly and attentive

Only downfall is their vague offers

I had a great time at Bistrot Pierre, the food and service were phenomenal. Their menu clearly shows the different allergens in each dish (eg, gluten free) which was really helpful as multiple members of my family are coeliacs. I will definitely be coming back in the future!

Had a fantastic meal here recently. Great value for money and wonderful service from Annette. We’d definitely recommend and hope to return again soon.

Very disappointed. Food portions were very small, desserts were very disappointing. Cramped table for four kept being knocked by the table behind. The waiter who served the food from the kitchen was extremely rude and abrupt. Had to ask two separate waiters for a desert menu and for the bill. When the bill arrived it was the wrong bill. Overall not a very enjoyable visit. Can't see me ever returning.

Delicious food and lovely staff, special mention to Jess. Only shame is you can’t use the app when you’re paying with a gift voucher.

Richard was brilliant! Provided the best service that we have had in a while. Thank you Richard for helping us celebrate a 60th birthday

Amazing food fantastic service from richard nothing was too much trouble for him also made us feel welcome

Very delicious food and professional service 😊😊

Just want to say thank you to all the staff tonight for makings my solo night out a great one. Food and service both excellent! I shall definitely be back especially if I'm flying solo again .

Great atmosphere staff very friendly breakfast is delicious well worth a visit.

Delightful afternoon tea overlooking swansea bay. Great service, good value for money. Highly recommended.

Our waitress Alina was super friendly and really efficient!!

I visit Mumbles regularly to visit my mother in law. I have visited many restaurants in the Swansea area for dinner. This is by far the best I have been to when measuring price, quality and service. Superb value and a great experience.

Jolene was an excellent server, friendly, polite, willing to find marmalade for us which is not on the menu Sadly the food was not hot, the bacon was over done/ hanging around for too long as chewy and tough. One of our toasts was on the burnt side but my companion is too British to complain/mention it. Mediocre at best 😟

Food was okay, service was friendly, would eat there again but wouldn't rush back. It was ok.

Great breakfast we have Richard he was a great service

Had a Sunday roast and was not disappointed, the food was brilliant and the service was quick.

Great service by Alina and fabulous food. Great value for this kids

Great meal out, atmosphere was amazing, our waiter Richard was brilliant and made the entire time a lot better. Can’t complain about any of it was all really good.

Great cooked breakfast. Really good value for money. Jessica was our waitress and gave wonderful service and was really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

241 breakfast offer led to a very busy service and some waiting understandably We had excellent service from Richard whose personable and efficient approach was good to enjoy

Very busy but good food and friendly service

Food was lovely and very quick, Jess was an excellent sever and was very smiley.

Fantastic, flavourful meal. From mains to desserts, we were delighted with the presentation and flavour profiles. Chicken Normandy was to die for, with lovely dauphinoise potatoes on the side. Madeleine with sticky toffee sauce was simply brilliant. Panna cotta was also delicious! Overall, an excellent experience. Friendly, attentive staff too!

We had a very enjoyable meal, served to us by Jesse. She was exceptional and we were indeed fortunate to have her serving us. She genuinely appeared to be enjoying her job, which put us at ease. You rarely get this these days. Well done Jesse!

This place never misses!! The service was and always is fabulous, especially Richard he always makes me feel so welcome and looked after. Iestyn is also great for making accommodations when my friend and I visit. Of course the food is also Amazing, they pay extra attention to my allergens as well!

Nice two storey branch of the chain. Only stopped for coffee which was good. Long wait to pay the bill was only negative

Very busy but expensive I like it but it’s fairly expensive .

We had a lovely sit down meal and drinks at Bistro Pierre - Mumbles. Nicolletta was an excellent host.

Being a regular visitor for several years, I have really noticed a deterioration in service of late. The standard of the food served remains high and I still enjoy my visits, but the lack of staff available to take orders has become a real issue. On my visit today, we were not able to place our food order for almost an hour after arriving. Whilst I appreciate that businesses need to cut costs, the cutting back on staff numbers to bare-bones level is really having a detrimental effect on the whole dining experience . It is virtually impossible to catch a staff member's eye to order additional drinks. Persistently healthy booking levels warrant persistently healthy staffing!

Chloe was amazing, service fantastic

A very nice place to spend a few hours. The staff are very good. The food is good and overall the place has a great vibe. One niggle was my sons french fries were lame, no better than McD's once less than piping hot. My son told the waiter the score. The polite response was sorry, I will tell the chef. Not quite enough guys. EDIT I visited again today. I Still like it here. I made a choice of a weak main course a veg tagine. It was ok but totally forgetable. EDIT further visit on 12th June 2024. I had a fixed price menu. Reasonable choices for me but slightly underwhelmed by the butternut squash dish I had. It was cooked well and had nice accompaniments but the totally wasn't there. It may be me getting more fussy EDIT visited on 8th October. We had a drink and a meal in the bar downstairs. My halloumi burger was below par. Too much heavy sauce, a bit of halloumi which tasted like it was steamed or boiled. Edible but not worth the £15 it cost. Also the service was so poor. We had to try so hard to get the staff's attention. One seemed to have a knack of looking everywhere except towards us; bearing in mind there was only a handful of tables in use it was remarkable. I don't think I will be back anytime soon. Paying the service charge seemed a rip off this time. It's such a shame because I like the place generally but it's no good for me now.

Chloe was so polite, friendly, professional and gave wonderful service. A real credit to the restaurant

Lovely place next to sea- bit over priced but to be expected in the location

Lovely little place, just stopped for a coffee, staff friendly and polite... service good... would recommend 👌

Richard was super friendly and informative. Needs a managerial position ASAP!

Richard was amazing when I came for my birthday!!

Alina the best waiter ever. Always attended our table to check if everything is OK. We will be back for this superb service. Thank you Alina for your attention.. See you soon...

Went for a drink and a meal here this evening with our two dogs,dog friendly the downstairs area which is very relaxed.Lovely food and Gower Gold an excellent pint.The waiter Evan Gilmore was so helpful and polite and nothing was of any trouble to him.Will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Table 1 was amazing despite being warned not. Managed to people watch some others on far more difficult areas. Ava was superb. Great knowledge and good fun. Even got to meet her sister with even more knowledge. Great night and great food xx

Richard, our server in Mumbles, was very attentive. Food was fantastic. Service was amazing. Well done Mumbles.

Ava or waitress was lovely. Very friendly and very attentive

Firstly, a warm welcome when shown to our table. Ava was lovely, couldn't do enough for us. The food was delicious 😋

all staff were great but shoutout to chloe because she was really nice:) ps. bring back the beef bourguignon please!!

Thursday evening was a treat. Delicious food, a very good amount of mussels served in a creamy sauce that worked really well. My husband and son had beef and steak that was cooked to perfection. And then desserts, wow. Great service too.

Food was good. Usually enjoy the restaurant unfortunately the last experience I had was ruined by the service. We waited a while to be seated, queuing at the hostess stand. The hostess then tried to seat the couple waiting after us despite walking past us being there first multiple times. Our server seemed to be a bit rude we weren’t given water like every other table, I had to ask. I also noticed that our starters came after tables that were sat after us. Our server was generally just a bit rude and snappy when it came to ordering dessert he had snapped at us a fair bit too. I was there with my nan who has Alzheimer’s and it seemed the server didn’t get that at all. She tried to order a coffee liqueur for dessert and got snapped at being asked “but any actual desserts?” I used to work in service for about 4 years I haven’t ever given or received service like this before

We had breakfast. One meat and one vegetarian. Plate was full, the vegetarian option was excellent, though no vegetarian sausage or bacon which would have been nice.

We came here for our 3rd anniversary, following good reviews from friends. The service and waiting staff were lovely, and we had a complimentary bottle of Brut which was a very kind gesture. The only downside to the service was one of the waiters swore as he placed our food down - not something you expect from a civilised restaurant. Starters The calamari was spiced nicely but was slightly tough and greasy. Smoked salmon was tasty, but had no difference in texture - could have done with a side of crusty bread or crouton. Mains We ordered the steak frites, pink. Mine was pink and acceptably tender but my partners was over cooked and grey. We sent it back, only to be presented with a tough, charred and watery second steak. It was, to say the least, rather unpleasant. Dessert We decided to share the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. It was tasty enough, however lacked the depth of a pudding created with real dates. Overall a pleasant atmosphere but the food was not up to par of an authentic French bistro. We will not be returning.

Just returned home after a very pleasant evening at Bistrot Pierre Mumbles. Great welcome by manager Milli, and very attentive service by Jess.. they both made our night out. Food was good as well…

We visited on 19 September 2024 and were served by Richard, who was extremely courteous and helpful. We then took a three hour walk and returned for a further visit, when Richard had completed his shift.

Beautiful meals and service here tonight.Most enjoyable.Will call in again soon.

Stopped here for breakfast. The coffee and service was good. The wait for breakfast was long but we were a larger table of 6 of us so maybe understandable. Two of the breakfast arrived cold and we're sent back.

Went here for a family meal, the food was great, staff very friendly and prices reasonable

Food was delicious and Richard was very attentive and personable.

Always great to eat out here. Alina was a lovely waitress.

Service was slow but food was good

Exelent food, and Alina was an absolutely wonderfully waitress/hoast!

Amazing service, great atmosphere and great food. Never disappoints when we come for a meal here. Alena was our waitress and was very attentive, polite and provided great service. As well as the other waiters all did their jobs very well.

Alina and team were great very attentive.

A great view, great drinks and great food

Wonderful view overlooking Swansea Bay - great food and service from Alina

I booked the private room upstairs for a small, surprise dinner for my son's engagement on Wednesday 12th September. From the initial telephone enquiry and booking I was extremely pleased with the way the staff dealt with my request. When I arrived earlier with balloons, a cake and banners, I was shown to the room by the lovely host. The room was laid out beautifully. There were shiny glass decanters placed along the centre of the table and a flower arrangement. The cutlery and glass were gleaming. He helped me to arrange everything and kept checking that I was happy with everything - which I was! When our party arrived, we were shown in and the staff maintained the surprise. We had a lovely lady to take our orders and serve us. The 3 course meal was all delicious and presented beautifully. The drinks were as requested and the price for the whole experience was great value. I would recommend Bistrot Pierre in Mumbles to anyone. The private room was ample for 10 of us, and I believe it can sit up to 24 guests. We will definitely be returning! A big thank you to all the staff.

Lovely hospital place , beautiful food and comfortable atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant with great food and service - and a view! Went for dinner mid-week with family, sat in the window with a great view and all ordered from the £22.95 3 course menu. The menu was good value with all courses being very tasty and decent size. As part of this menu you can also get a wine or beer for £4.50 but when I asked for cider instead (excellent Orchard Pig) I was told "computer says no" and had to pay full price which is a bit bizarre considering on the menu it's cheaper than the wine or beer and surely discriminatory towards cider drinkers? Anyway, service was also very good from the lovely staff (although note you are automatically charged 10% service charge - we much prefer to add this ourselves for good service).

My wife had the vegetarian tagine and it was truly excellent. Good vegetarian food is a struggle to find. The Chef's of Bistrot Pierre should be congratuted for their skill and care.

Lunch for my granddaughters 21st. Waited more than half hour for acceptance off waitress. Starters drinks took ages. Starters were lovely. Because our starter dishes took so long to be removed our mains were luke warm. Waiter seemed more interested on opening serviettes than tending tables. We've been loads of times. Won't be returning. Even my loyalty card didn't work. £90 I'll spent

Sadly not able to find much to like here. Restaurant was very hot with only one widow open and you couldn't sit outside due to no staff! We ordered calamari arrived overcooked, chewy and tasting of frying oil. Asparagus was woody from halfway down the spear. The waiter was totally uninterested in our comments and just walked off. Why ask if everything's OK if your not going to take any notice ??? Steaks we're ordered blue/rare. They arrived overcooked tough and soaked in butter with unseasoned fries and warm lettuce or possibly spinach ?? Tough as old boots. To add insult to they added a service charge which is difficult to spot on the bill. Not place we would revisit.

The guys were great and welcoming- deserving a tip - when I came to add it to the bill, they couldn’t do it and as we were cashless we didn’t have the opportunity to reward… why Bistro Pierre?

This is a very nice restaurant in Mumbles but beware they add an automatic 10% service charge onto the bill regardless of the quality of your service. They even do this in the bar downstairs. We ordered two drinks - we were literally sat 2 metres from the bar and this extra 10% was added. This should be a discretionary amount and totally up to the customer to choose the amount - not automatically added to your bill. We do always tip but it should be up to the customer the amount to give. Thought it was really cheeky to do that, and of course you dont want to make a scene at the end by asking them to take it off at the end Very poor show and spoiled our evening.

The duck breast with gratin, tender stems, and sauce was exquisite and done to perfection. The salmon dish served over peas and crunchy small potatoes was divine. The upstairs dining area had a fabulous view, and paired well with our wine. The waitress was spot on timing, polite, and we felt she took care of us well.

It was Bank Holiday Monday. Sadly the service was very slow as we waited one and half hours for our mains. It was busy in there and it appeared as though one table's order was cooked at a time. The waitress was friendly and helpful however and the food was tasty.

Very pretty place with lovely view's of the waterfront.

Came here Sunday, I had the Sunday lunch (Beef) and my partner had the beef bourguignon. The service from the young staff was Good but the food certainly wasn’t, my Sunday roast consisted of soft, fried (roast) potatoes, slimy carrots, and an acrid awful tasting red wine gravy. It was probably up there with thee worst Sunday roast I’ve ever tasted, the bourguingnon was Luke warm and the beef was fatty and chewy. Very disappointing.

Fab food, lovely atmosphere and service. Will definitely come again, plus we signed up to their club!

Me and my Girlfriend came here, we had a starter which i shouldntve since i ordered the Steak Frites, made me fill up on the starter, both amazing btw; the staff was really nice, so was the food, many people making the restaurant busy and a little loud, 5/5, loved it!

Final family meal before we go back home. Food amazing, service exceptional. Hannah and Hannah were attentive and made sure we had a great time in which we did.

Good Ambience. Pleasant Service. Delicious Food. Mark the Manager helped to sort out a Birthday treat.

Very friendly and highly experienced stuff. Delicious coffee and pastries!

Great food and people every season all over the year. 👌

Our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised. It is a chain that we hadn't heard of as there aren't any near where we live. The food was very good, the staff very friendly and accommodating and the prices were reasonable. Would definitely visit again if we visited an area that had Bistrot Pierre.

Lovely vibe, great food and attentive service. We went twice in the week!

We really enjoyed our time and the food! Service was fast and really helpful. Food was alse excellent (we had the linguine and the Bouef). Too sad that the weather was too bad to sit outside.

Really nice peaceful atmosphere, and some very tasty food options

It's a beautiful place in a beautiful setting, and the servers were amazing. Due to it being graduation week it was absolutely bouncing so we did have quite a time waiting between starters and mains, almost 40 mins but the staff did apologise mid point for the wait. We enjoyed our drinks starters and desserts. The mains for us both was nice but neither of us raved about them. I would definitely go again to sample more off the menu and hope it's a little less bumping when we visit so we get a chance to enjoy visit a bit more.
