Bistrot Pierre - Coventry in Coventry

On Wednesday 11th i booked a table for 8 on Sunday 15th. Paid £80 deposit and sent a pre order link that was accessible until Thursday lunchtime. Party members didn’t get back to me in time to make the preorder deadline. I called Sunday morning to give it over the phone but was told no longer needed. We a long wait for mains, didn’t order starters. We assume this was because we couldn’t submit pre order. When food arrived it was lovely. A variety of mains and desserts were ordered, including vegetarian and from kids menu. Food was fab. Service was lacking. Only got one order of drinks in. Took ages to flag someone down for bill and they brought a jug of water instead. The deposit wasn’t listed on bill so queried it. Was brought a piece of paper to write my name on, even though the table was booked under my name. Just took ages. Table was booked for 1.45. Left around 4.15. Glad we didn’t order starters, wouldn’t have had time for three courses given time allocated. Would have liked to have coffee/cocktails after dessert.

I went along for a Christmas lunch with some of my work colleagues yesterday. I have to say that the service was very friendly and very attentive. Everybody enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was very warm. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I ordered the vegetarian parsnip and chestnut tart, expecting it to be served with a side of potatoes and vegetables like a proper main course. Instead, the entire dish consisted of a small tart, barely taking up a quarter of the plate. An absolute joke for a main course, especially when other mains came with meat, roast potatoes, and vegetables. It's ridiculous to think anyone would consider this an acceptable option. I felt completely ripped off and will never return to this place. Disgusting.

Another excellent meal at Bistro Pierre. Had the festive menu, delicious food and brilliant service as always from Marco and Annie. We have been to Bistro Coventry a few times now and never disappoints. Breakfast is particularly excellent. In my opinion one of the best restaurants in the midlands

Great service , Ines was really pleasant and very welcoming . I found her very relatable and pleasant to chat with.she is very attentive and it’s nice to see. The food was good too

We were received very well by Ines. She had a big smile on her face and was very professional and friendly. The food was great but the customer service made it even better.

Great food as always and a wonderful experience. It was really busy in Coventry that evening but you wouldn’t know it, Annie looked after us at our table and the service was fantastic.

Annie was amazing, really attentive at our Xmas do!! Food really good ! Lovely atmosphere! Really helpful working out the bill.

The food was very nice with excellent with a very good selection. The service from our waitress Ines was very personable and friendly!

Great food, service and ambience provided by manager Aneta and Marco bar man.

A good standard of food at reasonable price but for me not quite as good as it has been elsewhere, notably Leamington Spa and Plymouth. Our absolute favourite starter is French onion soup but they have done something weird with the crouton which is now rock hard whereas they used to float a baguette crouton in the soup. It's just not as tasty. Steak was requested medium rare but came well cooked not even a hint of pink which was disappointing. We can't even recommend sticky toffee pudding any more. This used to be a wonderful slab of pudding but has been downgraded to a stick toffee madeleine, tiny and dryer in comparison.

Superb address where you can enjoy excellent brasserie-style dishes. The evening I went to Bistrot Pierre in Coventry, there weren't many people there, hence the atmosphere was a bit sad, but it was a Thursday evening during the week. As for the food, however, everything is delicious, fresh and well presented. Thanks also to Izzy for her kindness and the quality of her service. I highly recommend Bistrot Pierre.

Food was excellent, tasty and well presented. Service very good. Early evening quite busy, but no rushing. Will definitely eat there again. Creme brulee exceeded my expectations!

The bread served was almost too hard to bite into, and the sea bass turned out completely inedible. The new potatoes were barely cooked—still hard—and the sea bass itself was tasteless and very overcooked. It’s such a shame, as I’d been genuinely looking forward to this meal.

Everything was great. Our waitress Izzy was kind and caring.

I had dinner at Bistro Pierre Coventry and the food was really nice. Izzy was very attentive and kind. Even marco was really nice and made superb cocktails. He also recommended good wine. And both of the manager Ingrida and Anita so kind .

Attentive and friendly service from Izzy, good menu selection and our choices from the Autumn menu really enjoyed. A quiet lunchtime but a lovely restaurant with good facilities and a lift .

I Called In For The First Time And Had The English Breakfast And Coffee. Obviously Cooked Fresh, It Was The Best Breakfast I've Ever Had And The Service Was Great, Full English Inc Toast,Plus a Double Espresso With Milk Was About £14 And Well Worth It, THANKYOU. This Is A GENUINE REVEIW......

I recently visited Bistro Pierre in Coventry, and I had an incredible dining experience. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. A special shout-out to our waitress, Kanishka (apologies if I’ve spelled that wrong!), who made the evening even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and ensured everything went smoothly. The service and atmosphere were top-notch, making it a great spot for a special night out. Highly recommend!

Had a fabulous celebration at Bistrot Pierre in Coventry recently. We were celebrating my mum's 90th birthday and all of the staff went the extra mile to make the celebration extra special. The food was excellent along with the service. Sneha especially, was very helpful. A lovely place to spend a few hours.

Two of us had brunch - full english. Good service and nice food!

I really love this place. Service is fantastic no matter who you speak to, food is really great and well seasoned, drinks are fantastic and the place itself is beautiful, when they have some music is also very great. The only care point I can mention is, I've always ordered either meat or fish and they were perfect, once I've been with a friend, she ordered chicken, it was roasted but not even reminding crispy as promised. I didn't reduce the stars due to loving it in average, but I know my friend won't be back...

We eat lunch here quite regularly with friends and the food and service are consistently at a good level. The serving staff (particularly Izzy) go out of there way to please.

Had a celebrity night. Staff have been very accommodating. Food very enjoyable. Looking forward to coming back. Would definitely recommend

I recently visited Bistrot Pierre in Coventry, and I must say, it was an excellent dining experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The food was superb, with a variety of well-prepared French-inspired dishes that were both flavorful and beautifully presented. A special mention goes to our waiter, Marco, who truly made the afternoon exceptional. He was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided excellent recommendations. His friendly and professional service added a personal touch to the entire experience. Overall, I highly recommend Bistrot Pierre for anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. And if you’re lucky, you’ll have Marco taking care of you!

Fab evening at Bistrot Pierre, so good we went both nights we were in Coventry! A big shout out to our waitress Annie and the French general manager (sorry we never caught your name) who were fantastic. Food was good , moules on the second evening in particular. Adding to the overall experience was having a trained sommelier to advise on wine pairings. Definitely recommend, just disappointed there isn’t a Bistrot Pierre in or near London .

Delicious steak wuth garlic butter, in a rather nice atmosphere. Really quick and friendly service too - thank you Marco!

It was amazing!! Food and vibes are incredible, Aayushi was our server and she was really kind :) there are a lot of options and really good vegetarian options as well, we will be definitely coming back

Lovely atmosphere. Great waiting staff. Didn't feel rushed( busy Saturday), therefore was able to enjoy the food in a relaxed state. Food was good & tasty, better than other chain restaurants. Menu changes seasonally which makes us return frequently. Good wine also much better than other chains. Nice location - looks over the Godiva statue in City centre. We went for the muscle fest & were not disappointed!.

Brilliant!! All food is delicious and drinks are amazing!

We met with my student grandson and his girlfriend and decided to have a meal at Bistrot Pierre in Coventry city centre. Not having visited the Coventry restaurant before, and based upon the food and service we've experienced at the Royal Leamington Spa restaurant, we decided to try it it. We were not disappointed. The food, service and ambience were equally as good as the Leamington restaurant. My grandson presented his student card and got us a 20% discount which made it even better. I had, though, forgotten that Bistrot Pierre add a discretionary % service charge to the bill thereby removing tipping anxiety. It is discretionary and therefore you are not obliged to pay it. We were happy to do so.

Lovely brunch, waiter (Marco) was excellent. Food was delicious, would definitely recommend.

I love going here. My partner, her mother and myself had booked a table for early afternoon to celebrate my partner's birthday. The food was delicious, good portion sizes and Annie was lovely as always. We all enjoyed our meals, prices are reasonable (nowhere is, what I would call, cheap to eat anymore) and I recommend eating here for a good experience. Only one thing - when we asked for the bill we requested that the service charge was left off, so that we could leave a cash tip. However, the service charge was still included, so it's worth checking that before leaving a tip. I'm assuming that the service charge does go to the staff?? I hope so, because they deserve it!

Don't waste your time. Just walked out of the Coventry branch having waited for 20 minutes hoping that someone would take our order. Gave up waiting and left Got the distinct impression we weren't welcome. Moved a few doors down to Las Inguanas whete

Waited half an hour at the table and no one came to take the food order or drinks. There were only 4 other tables being served . The waitress would look over smile at my family and then start cleaning tables or pick up menus and shuffle them. The maitre d at the door only paid attention when we walked out and she offered to take the order as we were leaving. Bad attitude and bad service. Never going back.

Great food served with exceptionally good service . Enjoyed the evening well with family

Had a lovely meal for my husbands birthday. 3 courses each with a few glasses of merlot! Food absolutely delicious as always. Sneha our server was delightful! Free glass of bubbles for husbands birthday too! Will be coming back soon!

Absolutely my favourite dining place in Coventry. Amazing Sunday Roasts. The best staff!!! Many thanks to Annie for making our Sunday lunch so fabulous.

We very much enjoyed a special breakfast here last Sunday (1/9). Excellent service from Annie.

Friendly efficient and professional service and lovely food highly recommended

The place was very good !! Aneeta and Renata service was excellent… loved the desserts so much

Thank you Annie and the rest of the team for being amazing as always! Love the food, service and staff! Best restaurant in Coventry!

Annie and the rest of the team are the best! Please give her a raise! We love Bistrot Pierre Coventry!

Great spot, nice ambience and yummy. We had a wonderful server Rafael, he was very helpful, professional and sweet. He makes amazing coffee. We’ll definitely be back again! Thank you

Came in for late lunch, really nice inside the restaurant with great food from set menu with very quick service from sneha! Thanks!

Food a bit expensive and to much would prefer smaller amount for less money. Annie our waitress was very good.

Booked here for Sunday Lunch. There are not many places in the City Centre for Sunday Lunch and I must admit I didn’t come with massively high expectations. However very happy to be proved wrong. There were some good deals on Sunday Lunch as well as the ordinary menu. Renata our waitress was helpful and attentive and all our lunches were very good. Desserts are a little on the pricey side but they were also very good and I would definitely come here again.

We went as a group of 25 for a work meal and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Sneha was so kind and friendly to us all, and even when we caused mayhem trying to rearrange chairs and tables, she helped us out so that we could all see each other and talk easier. The food was lovely, everyone was talking about how much they enjoyed it & very good portion sizes as well. Thank you all!

Renata’s service was really nice :)

Amazing service as always, Annie is a credit to the team. The food was incredible and came out very quickly. Couldn't fault it at all

"Had a wonderful Lunch The food at the Bistrot was exceptional—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend!" Special thanks to Annie for amazing service

Best dining experience we've had in ages - Sneha gave us amazing recommendations and made the dining experience really special for my family. Couldn't have asked for a better waiter. The food was great and the vegan tagine was 10/10 especially. Would recommend.

Amazing place, great food, perfectly cooked. Staff are professional and kind.

Good food great Service! Thank you! And shout out to our server Sneha. She was great and very friendly. Service with a smile wins the customers!

We had chosen this place because of its attractive dinner menu, its very central location and the good reviews. What we had expected was a bustling French bistro. What awaited us was an empty restaurant, where we were basically the only customers, except for one other table. So it felt bereft of any atmosphere. Maybe we just happened to be there on the wrong day of the week, given that it was a Monday, which tends to be a slow day in general. The service was good, and I loved the pre-dinner drink (Aperol Spritz). Unfortunately, the chicken I had ordered turned out to be charred in places, and tasted like it as well. So I had to scrape some of the charred bits off. The mash and runner beans were delicious, but not quite enough to make up for the charred meat, which was really a shame. I assume it was just a bit of bad luck for us that day, and I don't necessarily see it as a reflection of the restaurant in general.

First time visiting, very enjoyable experience, food was really good, sat outside on the balcony as it was quite a warm afternoon, will visit again

The food was good for the price. I was expecting to have a slightly larger portion (hence the 4 stars). The waitress (Aayushi) was friendly and served the food in a very timely manner; good service. In the general the environment was nice but, in my opinion, it was quite clamp for a 10 people gathering. Maybe it would be alright for others. Definitely a recommended place with friendly waitresses and good food (even though it is slightly expensive).

We lunched there on 11th July. Great food, great & friendly service & very French surroundings. Special mention of Sneha who was our server. Nothing was too much trouble & she made us feel.special.

Our waitress Annie was great . She made the birthday lunch experience extra special. She went over and beyond to make our experience special.

Food wash absolutely perfect. Prices are reasonable, Nina, who took our order and looked after was Pleasant, informative and very professional. 10/10

Went in for a lovely brunch around 11 am had such a great time. We ended up staying for lunch as well. This is a testament to their great food, service and atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend it more.

My partner and I had a lovely dinner last Sunday evening and our waitress, Hina was attentive, knowledgeable and courteous 🙂

From the warm welcome to the farewell, everything was A1 The food was served promptly, hot, well presented and tasted delicious! We chose the 3 part set menu, which didn’t disappoint, as usual for us we both had different dishes (so 6 in total) to judge and taste and all were superb. The service from Hina was amazing. She was polite, friendly and super efficient without being overpowering. Good luck with your future studies Hina!

A lovely bistrot with well-portioned brunch servings, 100% fresh food and a comfortable seating. All at an affordable price, certainly worth the visit !

Want to say a big thank you to Annie and the team for the amazing service on Saturday night (29/06) I booked a table for my sister in law to be’s hen dinner and Annie made the whole night perfect, it was some of our party members first visit to Bistrot Pierre and they loved the atmosphere, food and the service and will be back again.

Lovely restaurant with a laid-back atmosphere and good food. Our server Aayusha was lovely, and the service was excellent. I recommend the mojitos - really nice on such a warm evening. I used the Bistrot Pierre app to book and joined the club - already collected Bistrot Pounds!

Very quiet for a Friday lunchtime but service was good. Sneha, our waitress, was friendly and helpful. Houmous and smoked salmon starters were tasty and nicely presented. Roti chicken was tasty but skin needed to be crispier. Moroccan tagine was delicious. Similar to Cote chain of French restaurants. Would recommend.

I had lunch with a friend here yesterday, I have been many times, the food is as always lovely but can't praise enough the fabulous waitress Annie, she is just wonderful, so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Annie for making it a lovely experience.

This was really disappointing. We didn't enjoy the food at all. Tasted tired and like it had just been warmed from last night. We avoided pudding as the main was so poor. £50 for 2 unhappy people. Never again.

3 course meal was great value and very tasty. Atmosphere was calm and warm with a lovely hostess.

Renata was such a lovely hostess… best customer service I’ve received.shes brilliant deserves a pay rise 1 million percent 🤍

A fabulous place to dine for all occasions, the food and drink are of the highest quality and the staff showed exceptional service from Renata

The service was amazing. Thank you Hina.

Lovely place, with great quality French food and nice staff. Annie was so sweet and attentive. Will return for sure

Came with family of three for a dinner on Sunday evening. Without us, it’s been 4 other tables in the whole restaurant. Ordered from menu pierre. Starters came okay-ish. Camembert was really thin, barely enough for 2 slices of bread. Calamari salty. For our biggest surprise fishcake came deep fried. Been having this dish every time we come to bistrot and it never been like that. When we asked our lovely waitress about it, she escalated that to a chef who claims that every branch does it the same to save time. I am wanting to clarify that a deep fried fish cake with potatoes and salad with dressing is 508 calories as advertised on the menu? I have been following a strict diet since giving birth which includes me having to count my calories. I was told with 100% confidence by the chef that the new deep fried version of the fishcake was the same calories as the menu stated so I went ahead and ate it on the evening but I am now hoping that someone more senior could confirm that he was telling the truth and following the spec and not taking a shortcut. We will also checking that in our local branch Leamington spa when we are next in. I sincerely hope that I haven’t been lied to in order to save time. As well, would like to mention extra charges which we were not made to be aware of. We were offered bread board with our chorizo. It arrived with garlic butter which was nice, for extra £1 charge which was not mentioned. Moving forward my partner had steak waitress asked about sauce garlic or mushroom and we were not made of aware that it was extra £2.5 charge for a jug of sauce which looked just like starter mushroom on toast just with a little of truffle oil. Do not get me wrong we don’t mind paying extra just would like that it would be mentioned and not just put on the bill for us to figure out later on. Many thanks Akvile J

Lovely food & good service from Renata. Have my mum a glass of Prosecco free for my mum’s birthday

Have been here twice now, and both times the food quality was pretty good, but not exceptional. The calamari and pea soup both stood out as amazing, while the other dishes we had such as the honey pork medallions were good but could have been better. Additionally, the restaurant has a nice environment and service was good, and it is not too pricey.

Lovely meal at bistro Pierre, food was lovely and so was our waitress Hina.

Excellent service and atmosphere but the food was a bit bland and the pasta with crab was not good

Server look annoyed we came that late. You could really see that she was annoyed with us and gues hoped to go home early. Food just bad . I had a dish with side of mashed potato. However! It was not fresh! When served the potatoes had developed a thick, unappetising skin on top, suggesting it was either old or had been kept under the heat for too long! Or simply microwaved and not stirred. When complain to waiter they fixed it however the manager assured me it is fresh. Fresh mashed potatoes look different when I cook them, this looked like few days old to me! On top of it all, bad quality of food and miserable waiter, they put service charge on our bill! Seriously ?

Had a lovely time here, the food was amazing and delicious. Service was incredible especially from staff Sneha. She was brilliant 🤩

We enjoyed the 6 course taster menu which had good variety and some great flavours. It was also a substantial amount of food split across the dishes - not so tiny that you feel the need to eat more afterwards. Our server Annie was very welcoming and nice, and accommodating by letting us sit outside and then move inside when it got cooler. Sitting outside was great, and the service was impressively prompt which made it all the better.

Had the gastro special menu. Great value, lovely food and very prompt competent service from Annie

The staffs on feb 21 were really great!!! Initially, they brought me the wrong dish. But I told them it’s okay I can have that instead. A few minutes later they back with the correct one so I got an extra dish for free!!

Renata was really helpful and went out of her way to help

We had a beautiful 3 course meal. The staff were lovely. We went back the following night for cocktails. Would certainly recommend a visit to this restaurant

Very good food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. You almost forget that you are in Coventry 😊. Went again on 26 April 2024. This is probably the last time, we won't come back. Quality of food and service have gone down. The starter of Devon crab and avocado was just crabmeat in mayo, no avocado to be found, on nice sourdough. The other starter was king prawn with chillies, also on sourdough, this was the star of the show. For mains, brought to our table by the very friendly French manager, I had pan fried salmon with asparagus, edamame beans and new potatoes, in an undefined sauce that was supposed to contain tarragon. Adequate dish, but not more than that. My wife had honey glazed pork medaillons with caramelised Granny Smith apple, in a Dijon beurre blanc. No apple, which would have complemented the dish greatly and would have also added some freshness to the pork, which was a tad fatty for medaillons. When the waitress took the plates away she asked how it was and of course we mentioned the fault, however she probably didn't say anything to the kitchen staff. When it came to paying die asked whether I had the app, which I had tried to download, but the only thing the download gave me was their online menu. No help from her. So again, this was our last visit (the 4th) to Bistrot Pierre. Pity!

Excellent Service. And a delightful meal. Thank you Aayush

Food was lovely. Staff not friendly at all . Service really poor and slow. I hate to think how they cope when they are busy. Only having to serve four other tables

Had a lovely meal and great service from Rafael and Aneta. Thank you!

The food is lovely ,all the staff are very nice and helpful, we were party of 6 and we had a great time.

Really good. Our waitress Renata was very friendly. Me and my friend celebrated the birthday and had dinner for 2 people and the food came out reasonably quickly and teste really good !

Thanks for the kind and hospitality Rafael.

Great service by Anni …other staff also good Good food

Lovely food, pleasant restaurant to sit in. Our waiter Rafael was really nice and helpful, Thankyou!

This was my 2nd visit as have a child at university, first visit was an evening meal for 4 and then the 2nd visit was for my child and I, for the dinner we enjoyed a variety of starters, mains with wine and delicious desserts, but on our 2nd visit we enjoyed the 'mussels cassoulet' & calamari, then went with the Burger (which was huge) and I had the steak & frite, with a blue cheese sauce... I do like a well done steak (sorry but I like it killed twice!) Now I was told the expresso martini cocktails were amazing (by one get one free) I was driving so happy with water... Until my next visit that is...

Ok… where do I start? I used to be a dedicated costumer of Bistro Pierre in Coventry ~ at least twice a week. Loved it! Warm- friendly- good food. Since the last manager left the place is shambles and only a show. I went for my anniversary (2022) ordered some pasta they came cold, they took them back, and the dish came back completely different. I said to myself that it was just a mishap so went second time with my parents. My dad order the beef bourg. The mash that came with it looked so dehydrated as if it has been there for days. When I raised that with the waiter he just said sorry and left. Nothing else. No ‘would u like it back or replaced’. Table was sticky and dirty although there weren’t anyone else in the restaurant except from ourselves. It is a shame as it was my fave restaurant. 😞

Excellent choice for Italian cuisine. We tried Chicken Liver Parfait, Chicken Normandy, 7oz Fillet Steak, Garlic bread, Fish Fingers and a few drinks. Everything was cooked to perfection and was delicious. The staff were very very friendly and helpful. It is a pleasant place to dine with family or friends.

I had a lovely meal with my family, gorgeous food with smiley faces and friendly staff. I can absolutely recommend the burger and brie. Something super fab was our amazing host Sneha; she really looked after us this evening, something you miss in most services is a happy face. Thank you Sneha for being so kind today and bringing good vibes, even with a quiet night we got all of your energy. Appreciated and very much valued.

Annie is a super friendly, attentive waitress. Food prepared quickly and to a good standard.
