Bistrot Pierre in Birmingham

We had some lovely food, the atmosphere was great and the staff were very friendly and welcoming! Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Lacking staff coverage, average food, reasonable price...not enticing enough to return.

Turned up without a booking for a super quick lunch, Debbie made us feel very welcome! Nice lunch too 😋

We had brilliant service from ‘Alex’ he made a lovely effort of my friend whose birthday we were celebrating! We would definitely come back and recommend this venue to others. Alex really made our night special. Well done Alex

Had a wonderful birthday meal, with a free bottle of Rose . The service was excellent. Thankyou Alex!

The 'new autumn menu' seems to have changed this from french bistro to pub grub. I struggled to find anything that I couldn't have got on any pub menu. So I went for Chicken Kiev, which it definitely wasn't. Chicken Kiev is made as it is for a reason - the garlic and herb butter cooks inside the meat to flavour it, moisturise it, and provide a rich juice to flow onto your plate when you cut it. This was a plain slab of dried out breaded chicken breast with a small pot of garlic/herb gloop on the side, which didn't even have much flavour. I used to come here fairly frequently, but I didn't see anything on the menu to go back for, and based on this experience wouldn't trust it anyway.

Booked for a birthday meal and it was delightful. Alex and the crew did us proud. Very well recommended.

Great restaurant, the staff were helpful and attentive. It was a little cold but we sat near the door and it was evening time.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch with my Partner. Service was terrible. It took over 20 minutes to be asked what drink we’d like and once we ordered our food that too took a further 30 minutes to arrive. Quality of food was not great. We were asked if we’d like desserts but they didn’t hand us the menu. I also asked for apple sauce which I had to remind the manager to bring mid eating. Not ideal! We used to visit regularly previously and the refurbishment is nice but we won’t be in any rush to visit again.

Enjoyed my meal at Pierre's Mere Green. A lovely refurb at Pierre's Mere Green - great value for money on the set menu! Worth a visit. What we ate: • Bread roll with Garlic Butter • Steak Frites • Creme Brulee • Sticky Toffee Madeleine ⭐ Video on my insta page at thefatinspector!!

Booked for a Birthday dinner and it was amazing, cocktails and food, Great atmosphere and lovely bar area for pre or after drinks , we will be returning

It was our first time eating here and we really enjoyed it. Jess and all the other staff were really friendly and attentive on a busy Saturday night! I have an allergy but staff were considerate and aware of procedures which is always great. Will definitely go again :))

Great atmosphere and wide range of drinks, great for catch up

Fantastic cocktail experience would definitely go again

Have been a few times since the new decor. & name change really lovely & relaxed, needs a few more lounge chairs & low tables as they advertise coffee "casual" houmous, flat bread & squid gorgeous but disappointed with the fish finger baguette used childs f/fingers!😏 I've only ever had good quality chunky fish fingers in other cafés/ restaurants. (Also tartare sauce was spread on baguette like butter ordering via the app doesn't allow you to specify no or on side which again i thought it would've been served on side, & no one came to clear plates etc before we left otherwise would've let them know save all this!😃) Still return though as there's still plenty more to choose from.

I cant believe still they have swapped bistro pierre for this in mere green, lacking atmosphere, the worst fish finger sandwich I've had in my life (not homemade, deffo birdseye) and it's freezing in there. The kids menu though is very good, such a shame

Great place to hav a coffee ☕☕ try it not just very good food

First time going there since it changed names to Pierre's impressed that they honoured a groupon voucher and a birthday drink. Service was great and the decor is really good. Enjoyed our evening will definitely return

Very expensive for the amount of food you get . The dessert was tiny for £7.95 . This place won't last long

First time here. Decor is lovely and fresh .food was very good .excellent service from staff .who are nice and friendly.well done all it was a great experience

We visited the new look Pierre’s at Mere Green. Really liked the new decor of the restaurant and bar area. Lovely new menu and we all enjoyed our food. The service was excellent and I thought all the staff were friendly and efficient.

Visited early Saturday morning for breakfast. Restaurant was quiet but food was freshly cooked and the service we received from Jess was excellent and made our breakfast experience very pleasant.

Great place to hang out with good company, enjoying wonderful food and drinks in an informal atmosphere. Fantastic offers are available all day every day. 😀

Very Friendly staff. The atmosphere was great. We were served on time. The food can be better.

So go at least 1 or 2 times a month. Brought Groupon voucher. After they put service charge on. Vat wasn't worth buying.

I have been coming sometimes twice a week for two months Midweek told kitchen shutting 9.00 pm Tonight despite so many emails encouraging attendance 8.20 no walk in service But can book two later tables on phone from car park . Apparently they would ring to say not available but nobody rang weird.

We went on a Tuesday when they do the six courses for £27. I had the beetroot tortellini appetizer which was just one large tortellini but tasty and unusual. The entrée was asparagus - ok, not my favourite. Lamb was cooked as I had asked and was a lovely dish. The pork from the normal menu was also very good and very tender. The chocolate puddings was dark and rich. The coffee even darker. A very pleasant meal for two (one six courses and one two courses) came to £50. Service was spot on. The waits were fine. The restaurant was half filled with a good atmosphere.

Just had the Sunday lunch roast chicken and it was superb

Good restaurant with comfortable atmosphere.

A group of four, we came to Bistrot Pierre having walked out of a nearby restaurant where the service was diabolical. We couldn't have asked for a greater contrast. The staff were very welcoming, attentive (without being over fussy) and professional, the service excellent and the food outstanding. So, after a disappointing start elsewhere, we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. My only slightly negative comment would be that there were very few diners that evening, so the restaurant perhaps lacked a bit of atmosphere, and I hope it is normally much busier as it certainly deserves to be.

There were no other diners in the restaurant when we arrived. A couple arrived after us and had eaten a two course meal and left before our food arrived. Apparently, it was because the chicken took so long to cook. You'd think on a Sunday they may have anticipated some demand for chicken and had a bird or two prepared in advance. My partner and I had the veggie option, which was a butternut squash wellington. Despite specifically asking for regular gravy, we were served the vegan gravy, which was an unusual shade of pink and rather unpleasant. My partner asked for the vegan gravy to be removed from her plate, and when her plate was returned there were fewer vegetables and no greens. It looked like a child's meal. This backwards and forwards with the gravy meant that by the time my partner was happy with her meal, my Dad and I had nearly finished. I would have expected some kind of explanantion regarding the long wait for chicken but none was forthcoming. We'd long finished the first round of drinks and only obtained further refreshment after I flagged down the waiter at long range. When I queried the long wait for food, by way of explanation, the waiter said,"If you're not happy, you can leave us a negative review." I think he thought that would make me feel better. But it hasn't.

The restaurant seemed cold for my 92 year old mom

My friend and I had a meal on Friday afternoon at your restaurant the food was good and the service was very good. Our waiter Alex was excellent nothing was to much trouble all in all we had a very pleasant afternoon.

Where do I begin? Firstly parking - the restaurant has no official parking, and nearby parking is ANPR 3 hr parking, which you would think would be enough, but later on found out it wasn't. Drinks- asked for a guiness on draft, only to be told not working, only lager on tap, anything else in bottles! Next payment in cash told me yes but has no change??, obviously don't carry a float. Table of 8 for a special birthday booked. Only 3 other small tables in, but over an hr before starter arrived. We were splitting the bills and told service staff several times whilst ordering that this was happening. Food was average a best, the baked camenbert had been microwaved or over cooked as was very runny, the Diane sauce with the chicken tasted of curry, and having to wait 10 minutes for bread that had been accidentally dropped by server. By the time we had had our 3 course meal, the 3 hr time limit was near, so we had to move cars to another location, which was a joke. The worst was yet to come, as the bill arrived and all meals had been added to one. We mentioned this, that we had asked for separate bills, but due to it already being done, and that deposits taken before meal, it took a further 30 minutes to get manager to re print bill, still with one total, as couldn't split the table as asked for at start of meal. This was a terrible end to a special occasion, and will not go back again!!

Ignored when entering. Left waiting at table for 15 minutes. Staff rude. When asked if I was to be served the manageress was aggressive in her tone and body language.

Beef Bourgogne,No honey roasted carrots 🙈, had a triangle of pastry in stead. Spent £400 for 6 dinners. Disappointed, had lovely meals several times previously. Must have been an inexperienced chief. Will go again but not in the near future. Sorry 😣. John G

• No one came to ask what we wanted to drink • When asked which lagers were available the waitress listed every drink on the menu. • Two drinks we asked for were not available. • Waited 45 mins for first course. • The meal was poor quality, no seasoning or flavour and was luke warm. Disgraceful. • Gave us someone else’s bill. • Replaced it with a bill that was part ours part someone else’s, putting the deposit someone else had paid on to ours. I should have kept it. • Delayed by half an hour sorting the bill, made me late for the car park. • Added 20% VAT to the total • Without asking added 10% service charge. • ‘Challenged’ me to remove the service charge. • Poorly trained and overstretched staff.

0 out of 5 Terrible does not even fit the description for this review Took over 30 minuets after ordering for starts to be brought out, I wouldn’t mind but these were simple dishes I.e hummus and bread The meals then came out not long after, however none of the meals came out at the same time and the Children’s food came out last 2 for 1 cocktails; these were ordered at 18:50 and because the server didn’t get too the till until after 19:00 the offer was void and this was not honour by the manager. Overall the Service extremely slow and really. The only person at that restaurant who truely cares about the service and its customers was a young lad called Alex.

A very poor experience. Not sure what was going on today. No Manager on site. Waitress didn't appear to be able to take order confidently. Waited for 2hours 15 mins to get mains. Paid deposit in advance online with reservation and advised it was father in laws 90th birthday celebration. Zero acknowledgement of that. The staff did apologise at end, but this entire disaster was a management failure. No Manager. No one taking responsibility. Correct response should have been to check in and update us as to the issue regularly and at the end take the drinks or 50% off the bill ( or both!). The service charge was initially included. I mean with the best will in the world, we couldn't justify including it. The staff shouldn't have to suffer because of no management on site.

Beautiful food great service Great breakfast too

Good atmosphere with good friends and nice beer, great services, and the new menu is to die for.

Poor meal all round. Fries were stale, steak like leather and peppercorn sauce bland.

Excellent food, value and service by Alex and the team.

We had booked a table for 6 people on a Sunday evening (bank holiday weekend) and I phoned up in advance to check that the restaurant would be open. We arrived at 7 pm and were not allowed to order either a pudding or coffee at the end of the meal. I ordered a medium rare rump steak which, went it arrived, was both overcooked and underweight. This was a really disappointing and expensive evening!

Had booked a table. Was in the taxi on the way to the restaurant and then received an email from Bistro Pierre to say 'as per your request, we've cancelled your reservation'. Really disappointing considering we had it booked, nor had we cancelled.

Lovely, bright and welcoming atmosphere. Jess and Kai our servers were amazing and sensing our personalities they were really fun and having a laugh with us. This alone made the experience more wonderful. I pointed out to Jess my numerous allergies and how I had been treated by restaurants before because if this. She was so lovely and made sure my food and drinks were OK and I knew what was on the menu that I could have. Give these two employees a pay rise! We were a party of 16 and accommodated really well and encouraged to take advantage of the 2 for £12 cocktails before the offer ended. Drinks and card machines were brought over to us so we didn't need to leave the table and there wasn't any problem with us all paying separately either, which has been a problem at other places.

We dined at Bistrot Pierre, its a fantastic restaurant with impeccable cleanliness and cozy ambiance. Our order included chicken escalopes and pan fried salmon fillets, both of which were delectably flavorful. The presentation of each dish was exquisite, and the flavors were simply irresistible. We thoroughly enjoyed the culinary experience. The service was also commendable and greatly appreciated.

The waitress had no personality really didn't interact very empty understand why after the food I had the chichen coq au Reisling as did my my friend chicken over cooked very dry food luckwarm told the waitress she said she would pass our comments on wish we had gone to wetherspoons food looked far fresher so disappointed I really dont go out much but wont be going back any time soon

Beer is good, food not really. I’ve tried duck leg confit in many places before, but this was a negative experience.

An exquisite culinary voyage! This French restaurant surpassed all expectations with its impeccable service and delectable cuisine. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were transported to a gastronomic paradise. Each dish was a masterpiece, meticulously crafted with finesse and showcasing the finest French flavors and ingredients. The ambiance was charming and elegant, setting the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a connoisseur of French cuisine or simply seeking an unforgettable meal, this restaurant is a must-visit destination. Five stars without a doubt!

I have eaten here many times and the Food, atmosphere and service are exceptional at a very reasonable cost. The Polish Waiter "Norbert" has amazing humour, as well as a detailed knowledge of the menu. These people deserve good customers and I shall continue to oblige!

We come here most weeks as very good value for money and staff very friendly and Norbert always ensures we have good service, always with a smile.

Had booked here for an afternoon tea with a friend I hadn’t seen for a while. Unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The sandwiches and cakes were dry and tasteless. Considering there were hardly any people in the restaurant the service was slow. Can’t say I’ll be back for afternoon tea again. It’s a pity because Mere Green really need decent restaurants.

Love it here. Very chill. Lovely bar, tasty simple food, great service and very clean.

Wonderful food. Very quiet at lunchtime

We had a delicious meal today. I also downloaded the app for 5p in every £ spent !

Booked mothers day breakfast. Cold eggs benedict - I was then sick that evening. I will not be returning. Ruined mothers day.

This was not our first time here and we have always enjoyed it. Unfortunately we went for Mother's Day it took over an Hour for our main course to come, when we mentioned it we were told its on its way but at no point before we asked were we told it would be delayed. Then when it did arrive my son had the fish and there was a piece of plastic in it! We did inform and the bill was reduced. The service was awful by the female waitress, then we had a lovely young man called Yusef who was very attentive towards us.

Great food but sadly the wait for the starters was too long. The service was generally slow with limited checks on us, some of the waitresses didn’t know what the wines were when we were asking and one never came. Although, Jess was great and was very friendly.

Two of us went for lunch on a quiet Wednesday. The restaurant is roomy, the decor modern and welcoming, and the food acceptable. We ordered from the lunch menu - 2 courses for £18.95. For starters, calamari was crisp, the mushrooms were enjoyable, although the sauce was a little over thickened. Main courses were Chicken Diane - tasty, but again, the sauce was a little gloopy, and Fishcake, which was well executed. although the beurre blanc was split. Service was good, and on balance, we will return.

We were pleasantly surprised with this place as we had heard mixed reviews about it, but the food and service were both very good. All of us really enjoyed it and would definitely go again.

Lovely helpful friendly staff prompt service delicious food

We love it here. The food is fantastic, the service friendly and attentive and the prices are very reasonable. Last Friday 16th Feb we had another great meal. A late Valentines date treat, one of us had three courses and a soft drink, the other (me!), had two courses, a glass of lovely red wine, and a fantastic dessert cocktail, all of which came to £88.00 (inc 10% gratuity), which I think is really good. Plus we had a free bread board with our Pierre Bistrot points.

Me and my husband visited for a belated valentines meal, the food was wonderful and the there was a warm atmosphere. Our server Millie was very accommodating from the very start, and delivered very good service. Drinks and food arrived quickly and was at a high standard, would recommend 10/10.

Amazing food,nice and polite staff.Highly recommended

We enjoyed a very nice meal Tuesday afternoon with a shared chicken liver parfait for a starter, then two mains which were the fishcakes, then ice cream and a sticky toffee pudding. We had a bottle of the red cuvee 94 wine which was on promotion for February and free. The service was excellent and with a reduction with the Rewards card the price was £32.00. Regards Gary

Went today with the wife to Bistro Pierre, Mere Green, around 1pm. This is a spacious and warm restaurant. The waitress was very efficient and showed us to our table almost immediately.She took our order and showed my wife how to download and use the app which had special offers. The ambience was very relaxing, and the customers all seemed to be enjoying themselves. A friendly and warm atmosphere. We had a starter and main course on the set menu. The food was hot,well cooked,tasty and fresh,a generous amount,and arrived promply. Great! Just what we wanted on a cold day. We left well satisfied and happy. We will be back again. Thanks.

The waitresses were amazing. We waited for over thirty minutes for a drink. The manager, a lady with lots of tattoos, and long brown hair, snapped at my mother when she politely stated we had been waiting. Not even an apology. I can honestly say it was very disappointing as enjoyed the food. The service was slow in some areas. However, I am sure the management team is there to uphold the reputation of the organisation. We will not be returning to this restaurant and are extremely disappointed with the way we were treated by the management team. We noticed that there was no one in the bar area, except there must be a shift change but this did not warrant the response.

Terrible for gluten and dairy intolerance. No understanding of dairy intolerance, no flexibility. Staff don't know what dishes contain dairy. Very bad. Never met such ignorance in any pub or restaurant. And cashless! Pathetic! My husband had brought cash and had to depend on the friends we were with. Will NEVER eat here again! Next morning 4 episodes of diarrhoea, the type I recognise as linked with dairy intake. Horrible.

Highly recommend this restaurant which has been transformed since new management and staff led by the Manager, Norbert (if he's not already the Manager, he should be!) - food is great, really well presented and high quality. The £10 menu that is frequently offered is amazing value, but even when not on, food is excellent and well-priced.

We came here at 5 o'clock and it was the perfect time for us. Lovely and quiet. It got busier as it got later, but not overcrowded. We used the £10 (mains) menu, an absolute bargain. Food was delicious, we all loved it (also the berry mocktail - fabulous). Staff are really helpful and polite especially the guy who brought out the birthday cake to my friend and me. Totally loved the overall experience and I'll definitely be coming here again

Lovely food with excellent, attentive service. Ambience is very nice in here, so even though we went early and it wasn't busy, the atmosphere is warm and interesting.

Went to Bistro Pierre early Friday night,not been here before. Fairly quiet. Chose the £10+£3.50 menu,fantastic choice even for a set menu. Calamari one of the best, Fricassee,Tagine beautiful,pork medallions perfectly cooked and presented. Service was good not pestered and there when you needed anything. Only minor comments,sat facing other guests with a mirror behind that reflected traffic outside,bit of a distraction,but minor. The only other thing I would recommend is stick to bottled beer or perhaps a larger,love cask ales and the first Camden had to be sent back "Flat". Other than that food perfect,good value, piping hot and staff good. Definitely looking forward to next visit. Liked the Vibe here.

Really nice food and dessert, good price too. Rohit was very attentive and nice. Will come again. Had the chicken and then chocolate desert, would have both again

I have just had a wonderful meal with friends. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. The manager, was very attentive and ensured that we all had a fabulous evening.

Excellent value for money for set meal. Steak was delicious as were starters and desserts! Service was also excellent. Lovely background music.

Lovely service from my waiter Norbert 😊 hot food and good food presentation Service with a smile 😊 Highly recommended

Waiters here were lovely attended at around 3pm on 20/01/24 Jess saw to our table and she was such a delightful and helpful person she recommended us dishes and gave us a laugh, would definitely come back again, food was made with love too! Thank you

Would be good if you could park outside. Car park is constantly full and local Sainsbury’s Car Park T&C’s are unclear.

Food was fantastic. First class. I was so happy they accepted the blue light.

I can’t explain how disappointing I was attending this venue on Christmas Day, restraunt was chaotic service was utter shocking the food was uneatable. Every one who worked there seemed to lack in experience and no clue on what to do. The whole day was ruined, this place needs to be moved out of mere green. Shocking! Don’t ever go

We were a party of eight for a Christmas day lunch. One of our group had done the organising and through her I had initially ordered my steak as rare, but then jokingly qualified it to 'rare on the side of lightly bleeding'. Well blow me down, prepared by Vik the chef, this was melt in the mouth superb, not bleu, not just simply rare, but exactly rare on the side of lightly bleeding. Never met you but thank you Vik, you made my day. Service was not rushed and can be described as attentive but relaxed, yet I could see that the major domo's were on top of everything. Other parts of my meal were as expected, sourdough baguettes with various butters, de-pitted olives on the side and a great little bite-sized chorizo sausage - all good, Melted brie with cranberry and raisin toast and a superb smooth relish that tasted sublime... Black Forest Yule log for desert. I will be back for more.

After travelling from North Devon to Sutton to spend Christmas Day with family and dinner at Bistrot Pierre. We had a reservation for 1pm for 12 people this was moved by the restaurant to 4.30. We arrived at our reserved time and there were so many people waiting to be seated it was ridiculous. It appeared our table would be ready when the people sitting had finished. This is obviously a case of overbooking and pure greed. Thank you for ruining our Christmas Day. We left after waiting for nearly an hour with no food and a reluctance to refund our deposit. Shame on you Bistrot Pierre you should be ashamed of your obvious greed on what was supposed to be a wonderful family treat.

Really enjoyable lunch today. We had excellent, friendly service from Rohit. He couldn’t have been more helpful in sorting out our menu requirements.

Went last night for the 3rd time,only found this place in September but will keep going back!! We don't live locally but it's worth the drive... Food ,staff service,all excellent. Thanks to all the team,see you soon!!!

I was in Sunday night served & greeted by Samantha and I’ve never spent a better evening anywhere else. The service was remarkable the welcome we had was friendly & she made us feel very comfortable. The food was lovely. Not a bad word too say we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be back again. Highly recommended

Absolutely brilliant, I come in with my husband this evening and I must say we both enjoyed ourselfs, the food was amazing but our waitress Samantha was an absolute star. She’s very helpful and so polite, she’s a credit to your team. Always had a smile on her face. Thank you Samantha for making us so welcome .

It was a pure fluke we came across this restaurant. I'm so glad we did! The menu choices (food and prices) were amazing and the service was impeccable (big shout out to Jess). We both had the three courses for £20.95 and it was was worth every penny and more. I won't need to eat for the rest of the day. I've already booked two returns, I'm that keen to try something else on the menu.

Great night, good service, good food although portions could be bigger. Re looked at receipt this morning however, to find a £20 surcharge had been automatically put on our bill. £20 for what?? To bring food to our table?? Which is your job? Noticed on the receipt after the event that you can ask for it to be taken off, but no one makes you aware of that at the time. Few drinks and you just pay the bill. We will be certainly asking for that money to be taken off next time as it’s a bit naughty to put it lightly. Left a bad taste in the mouth after a nice night.

This event was attended by my wife. The evening was meant to be special, but was spoilt by the experience there. I pre-ordered my meal 3 or 4 weeks in advance and after arrival, they stated it was unavailable. The meal I had was indifferent. There were 17 of us and they had only laid the table for 16. The service was acceptable, however, the owner was most rude. Our husbands/partners were collecting us before 11pm, after their own event elsewhere. The management tried to make us leave at 10.30pm on a cold wet night. The restaurant knew our intentions when the booking was made.

Reasonable place for some lunch with friends.

Delicious food ,great service 👍👍👍👍👍

Went with my wife for breakfast. Delicious. Wonderful service. Hot, excellently cooked food. Recommended.

Food was exceptional, service was really good. We will definitely be back!

Super set menu great value and selection fabulous for a Monday night supper - lovely waiter - thank you

Disappointed as would have preferred crepes. Had 2 croissants they were the smallest I have ever seen . Had to ask for butter and jam. My husband had set menu. It wasc£12.95 although says 9.95 on web site.can only say I understand why restaurant empty at 10.00 on a Saturday.

We were greeted and seated quickly, the restaurant was cosy and warm, our orders were taken promptly as one member had to return to work. We ordered fish cakes, chicken dish and vegetarian option-all were generous in portion and tasty. The waiter Rohit was super friendly, lovely smile and looked after us really well. The manager on duty too provided great service and it was a lovely lunch. Thank you!

Visited for the Sunday roast lunch. We both had the roast sirloin, cooked pink. Excellent meal both meat and vegetables were great. As we have the App this cost £40 with a bottle of house rose included. Our waiter, Rohit, was also very good. He was attentive and helpful. We finished with a shared cheese board. Nothing else to say except to repeat how good the whole experience was. Dated 15/10/23.

Excellent service, very nice food.

Rohit was amazing, we had a lovely dinner. Best service at a great price. The food was outstanding. Totally recommended.
