Bistrot Pierre - Leamington Spa in Warwick

Our waitress Madhu was friendly and extremely helpful. We would certainly visit again when in Leamington

Excellent all round. Enjoyed a quiet birthday meal with my wife. Dan, who served us, was quiet, respectful, and professional, yet also friendly—couldn’t ask for more in a waiter. The food was delicious and arrived piping hot.

Nice food, weekday menu, and tasting deals

The food was delicious and Dan was superb!

Staff are truly professional! Food is delicious. Good wine. Reasonable price. Nothing not to like.

12/10 what a find. Visiting the town for the weekend and found this gem. Food was superb. Staff attentive and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was very nice and the lunchtime set menu was reasonably priced 👍

Alway good service and value for money

Fantastic birthday celebration. The staff all sang in key!!!!

A group of us came here on 02 Oct. Food and atmosphere was great. The waiter Jen was very polite and attentive and couldn't be more helpful!!

Popped in on a a Monday . Good Club Bistrot deal . Lovely food and service

A delicious place to eat in Leamington Spa: delicious food, varied options in a Charming atmosphere and great service. I recommend.

Lovely meal, great service from Maddie

Overall everything was excellent ONLY ONE issue that just disappointed. That was the manager named Vijay, he treated differently some of staff in the back of house( kitchen)just NOT FAIR. Sucked staff with no reason ( he made up nonsense reasons)

Thought we’d pop into Bistro Pierre for some lunch as we’d not been before and have been saying we’d like to try it for a while. Having been there now, I doubt we’ll be going again. My partner had the fish cake niçoise and I had the mussels in white wine sauce and truffle frites. Unfortunately, the fish cake was lacking in flavour and the dish, as a whole was very underwhelming. The sauce that the mussels were cooked in was tasty but literally every mussel had a lot of grit and offered some very unwelcome crunch to the meal. I realise that grit is natural in mussels, but honestly, the sheer amount of it put me off and I didn’t finish the plate. The “truffle frites” had more parmesan than anything else and couldn’t taste or smell the truffle at all. Service was slow and the lower half of the restaurant, although not very busy, was largely forgotten by the two staff working.

Simply great, and the food spectacular.

The atmosphere was good and location is lovely but that’s probably as far as it goes for a great meal out. The food was average and tastes did not really pop out to me but worse still was the service… it was not memorable at all. The person who served us spoke only to one person who he believed will pay the bill and that was how we decided to keep it.

We went to Leamington Spa purely for Bistrot Pierre, and it didn't disappoint! Great town, great food!

I really enjoyed our drink! Vijay and the other staff were really welcoming and helped us find drinks. I will definitely come back!!

Very good service and I enjoyed my drinks. served by Vijay.

Ate outside for brunch. Eggs royale & avocado on sourdough plus coffee etc for the two of us. Philippe the server was professional & humorous & good fun. Food & coffee good. 4 stars for atmosphere as only stayed outside. Would recommend.

A lovely restaurant, wether it be for lunch or dinner. We travelled to Leamington for a day out and enjoyed a lovely lunch with Vijay as our host. Although it was around 3.00pm the atmosphere was calm and pleasant, the service good and the food and wine were excellent. Thank you Vijay be back soon.

Not cheap, but personally I'd prefer to pay a little more for lovely food than pay a little less but be disappointed, especially as it was a special occasion All 3 of my courses (pea & mint soup, Boeuf Bourguinon and Pot au Chocolat) were delicious. My wife also enjoyed all 3 of her courses (brie starter, Chicken Printanier & Sticky Toffee Madeleine). Our waiter seemed a bit grumpy at first, but he warmed up as the evening wore on! With my Blue Light Card discount, it took the cost down to a more reasonable total, so very happy, would happily recommend this restaurant to others.

They were exceptional today. A year ago, my experience here was quite average. However, the food today was outstanding, and the staff were attentive and friendly, with our French server providing the most exceptional service. If today reflects their current standard, to which I have no reason to doubt, I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I recently attended a birthday celebration, and I must say that the staff was exceptionally attentive and the food was truly delightful.

Honestly fantastic for the price. Food is amazing and all the servers I've had have been fantastic. Always happy to come back here!

We went for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised with what we got for the price. The food was good and included juice and coffee/tea. Service was excellent and we will be going again👍

Overall, I enjoy visits to Bistro Pierre. Generally, the food is well thought through and prepared well. Staff always friendly and courteous.

Great to be back at Bistrot Pierre in Royal Leamington Spa. Lovely six course Gastronomique dinner last night - with wine pairing. Delicious food and Excellent service from Raphael, Vijay and Millie. Looking forward to taking our friends there for dinner this Friday evening… All the best to Raphael back in France, Bon chance!

It’s a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff but the food was very disappointing. My friend had the bouef bourguignon and said it tasted like a TV dinner and the beef was tough. I had the salmon which was very overcooked and the accompanying asparagus woody. It’s a shame really as, with a good chef, this could be a very nice restaurant .

The food was fresh and tasty. Great value. The service is excellent and the place is spotless. Special thanks to Vijay who was extremely helpful and courteous.

Phillipe was great. Food was perfect.

They seemed short staffed today. 40 mins to take our order, 2h 45 mins total for our meal.

We went with some girlfriends for their bistro evening , the menu looked interesting for the prices. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed by the whole experience. The food was very average, and portions, smalls , and services were ok. They tried to accommodate some of the dietary requests, which was appreciated, but then the waiter never knew what he had in his hand before putting the plates down. The worst was probably the tomato salad, which looked more like a side with the biggest slice of shallots in it. The best dish was the chocolate mousse. Finally, our waiter, which was kind of ok , suddenly was super nice at the end when it was time to pay and then gave us a card so we could leave feedback about him... nice try ! 🤪 I might go back, though, to try their normal menu or lunch menu, which looked much better !

Thank you the Team! It was an excellent meal. Love from Antal

I booked for a table of 9 people, all work colleagues. I had slight reservations given the small number of negative reviews, but the set menu looked good and one of our party is a regular so I thought we'd try it. We were well looked after, and everything I ate I enjoyed - the Pot au Chocolat was a particular highlight. The mid week set menu is excellent value.

Wonderful food and very attentive staff.

Visited this evening advising two out of the 3 of us are gluten intolerant which was told upon booking and arrival. Two of the mains were lovely but the chicken was obviously left on the hot pass for a long time as sauce had a skin on top of mash was hard and chicken was dry and tough, chicken dish also missing peas as stated on menu. Wrong drink served and when ordering dessert we specified again gluten free but when desert served was to find they had put the gluten biscuits on plate, luckily I spotted this before my mother ate them. At the end of the evening when getting the bill we were told that because of the dissatisfaction with the main they had taken off the "discretionary" tip. I do not feel the staff really cared about the mistakes they made.

Really enjoyed our lunchtime visit, 1st time visitors, and really surprised about how good everything was, the welcome, the service, and the food. So good we've booked for one of their gastronomique nights.

Definitely a nice place,been 5 times,great food well cooked,prompt efficient service, can be a bit noisy after 7,30,, I normally go at 6.30,,I go to treat my Polish friend as she likes the place,,they also have special offers on certain days,,well worth your consideration,,

Very enjoyable.. Great experience

Clean, staff polite and helpful.

Great place with very nice food at a good price.

RUDE and AGGRESSIVE Manager PHILLIPE I went for breakfast today at Bistrot Pierre. Initially, a lovely waitress served me, and everything went smoothly. The food was enjoyable as well. When I asked for the bill, the manager, Philippe, brought it along with the card machine. Without communicating, he set the card machine on the table, seeming to prepare it. Suddenly, he stopped, and I assumed it was ready for payment. As I went to pay with my card, he AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED MY HAND AWAY, wearing an annoyed expression. I was shocked, I hadn't expected such behaviour. I do not appreciate being physically touched or having my hand pushed away in such a manner. He had no right to act so aggressively! It felt almost like a physical assault. A company like yours should not tolerate this behaviour under any circumstances. It's a shame because the restaurant itself is lovely, and the waitress who initially served me was wonderful. I won't return unless this aggressive gentleman is no longer working there.He completely ruined my experience, and I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there unless they want to be humiliated by the manager, PHILLIPE.

Fantastic time there every time, has become a regular favourite of mine. Good food, good price, really fun atmosphere. Been served by Pierre several times and he really adds to the experience, he’s a great personality, jovial, fun, great service, but also not intrusive. Always a pleasure to see him. Highly recommend

I have visited Bistro Pierre before and visited again when I came up to visit my daughter from Brighton in March. The actual restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The service is 2nd to none. Unfortunately the food is mediocre and I found this on my first visit too. The humous to start, was very good and tasty. I had the fish cake nicoise for main and it was very under-seasoned and very dry and served, not with French beans, as stated on the menu but served with very al dente courgettes, which was disappointing. The sauce it was served with on the side, was bland and the baby new potatoes were tasteless and squishy. My daughter had the haddock which she’s said was ‘ok.’ Going on other reviews, I would probably come back and try something else. Again, the service by Pierre was very, very good, friendly and welcoming and he took something off the bill for the missing French beans.The food needs to match the 5 star service.

Great food, prices and service. Phillipe was a joy to have as our waiter. Lovely interactions and fabulous sense of humour.

Starters were alright but most of the mains were nearly not acceptable level. We finished the steak because of the hunger but not the quality. 3 steaks ordered to be cooked at same rate and all of them were different. 2 of the steaks were really low quality, hard and rubbery. Risotto was like a precooked meal. First and last time definitely. There are much better places in L.Spa. Just don’t waste your time and money in here.

Sunday roast..beef tough lots grisle ,hardly any veg. .not a full sunday meal. Not worth the money. !! Very disappointing... Dined in. Will not be visiting

Parking - is difficult so plan ahead...although I think there is a parking garage in the same street and if so then ignore this part Service - its clear that the staff work hard and are rushing. But the positive to that is that they are trying hard to look after you and be attentive to everyone. This also includes the bar staff who did an excellent job. Special mention to Phillipe. I always ask my wait staff for advice and recommendations and Philipe was super helpful in making decisions. He was personable and funny, attentive and thorough. To be specific, I appreciated his food knowledge. Its clear that he likes the food that he serves. The Food; Was excellent. We had the 3 courses for 23GBP (must order before 5pm) which I consider to be very good value. I saw promos for a 6 course degustation for a very low price (I can't remember but its less than 30GBP) which will be on tonight (2nd and 4th tuesdays of the month) which I might just turn up to (this review was for 2 days ago). The carrot soup seemed to have a curry based spice in it and was excellent. The steaks were buttery and perfectly cooked. The desserts are winners and the mocktails were perfect additions. the Restaurant itself - clean, well decorated and good ambience. I highly recommend....thanks again phillipe

We had a family occasion to celebrate Mothering Sunday. Everything was perfect - wonderful food, lovely atmosphere, and the waiter provided excellent service with a delightful sense of humour. The Mothering Sunday menu had a good choice and was very reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommend this venue.

Lovely steaks and great atmosphere.

Super lovely place, definitely go back 😊

A long wait for our food. The poached egg on my fishcake nicoise was hard, as were the potatoes. My husband's burger was also very average, overcooked and hard. Disappointing first visit.

Beautiful food with attentive staff

Disgraceful service. I was there with my family. I arrived on time. After 30 minutes waiting to someone come to take our order we’ve left. 30 minutes. Not really serious place.

Was a really nice romantic experience, went for Valentine’s Day. The food was great and filling! Only thing was service was a tad slow at times, but was due to peak time.

Had the pleasure of being served by Raph, a lovely gentleman who was kind and welcoming to my party and me. By far the best service in Leamington Spa and I recommend Bistro Pierre and Raphs services to everyone!

Philippe is a wonder, one of the most thoughtful servers I’ve ever encountered. Superb staff, delicious food, and a warm homey atmosphere. 5* across the board.

Great place for our Christmas dinner

Excellent value for money food, could not fault service, was a little quiet but still a buzz for a Sunday afternoon which is the best you can get in Leamington!

Excellent value family restaurant

A good combination of service, atmosphere and food.

Had an amazing lunch here. Wonderful food and excellent service.

Lack of staff for a lunch time service. Understandable. Food was just average for the price.

Another lovely meal. Great service , and a good menu.

Visited with my 18 year old son. We really loved the food. Excellent value and warm service

Great meal once again. We were a party of 15. Great food, didn’t have to wait too long and Philippe was exceptional once again. Thank you you all.

It was a fantastic experience, 2nd time we have come , we have now celebrated a 60th birthday and a 30th birthday. Both times we were served by Philippe who was extremely welcoming and attentive. Definitely will be returning soon

Gluten free option was really good, great service and a cool place with a mix of intimate and larger table options

Had a group booking on the 5th. Reception was excellent, as was seating. Background music was too loud but was turned down after complaining. As the restaurant filled the music was turned down even more and we were able to speak without shouting too loudly. The service was initially good, but deteriorated as the restaurant filled. The food was excellent and really couldn't be faulted. Checkout took far longer than necessary - mostly due to the cashier having a long conversation with another customer. Overall a very good evening, which I would certainly repeat.

had a lovely midweek lunch with my boyfriend, service was quick and the staff were very friendly, Vijay and Flo made us feel very welcome.

Took an age to get served and when the food finally arrived it was cold. The restaurant didn't seem very busy but the staff seemed to be running around like headless (poulets). Maybe we were lucky but it has definitely put me off returning in the future.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere what more is there to say

Best turkey roast I have had in a very long time. Lovely and hot and served on hot plates. I am not easily impressed but could not find fault with either the food or the service

We had our Christmas party here and we had a great time. Our making by doing a quiz and having our Secret Santa! Food was good but felt for our vegetarians. The pitivier was such a let down, perhaps you might try a mushroon and lentil mix next time and also score the pastry in a pattern so it looks attractive and a choice of colourful veggies would be a great addition for the price. We were also very surprised as to no santa hats or crackers! What is the world coming too! It won't stop us coming again but a little imagination for our vegan/vegetarians would be appreciated, please

Bistrot Pierre pretty much ruined Christmas for us. We are visiting from Australia and treated family to Christmas lunch so nobody had to cook. We had to stand (including senior parents) for 30 mins on arrival as tables weren’t ready. Once we were seated it took a further hour for starters to come out. In all it took nearly four hours for lunch. Food-wise the turkey was horribly dry. The parsnips were raw. The sticky toffee pudding was inedible. The service charge was waived and £100 was knocked off the bill, but this doesn’t cover the cost of extra drinks we had during the huge wait. And that’s before you consider that we paid £80 a head for a dreadful experience. Our experience today wasn’t isolated, everybody was really annoyed. Our server was great, but obviously struggled when he was doing the job of three or four people.

Lovely meal, good menu and great service

This is a nice restaurant; however, it was far too busy and noisy due to xmas parties. The staff tried their best but I think were a bit overwhelmed

Took 3 hours to serve us 3 courses. The main meal took 2 hours to come. The people on the next table arrived more than an hour before us & had there meals before us. Over heard them say they knew someone in the kitchen. Starter was fine but main course was an embarrassment! My slice of Turkey looked like it had been dropped on the floor & picked back up. My husband roast potato was still frozen in the middle. The carrot purée was thinner than the gravy. Any cook with any self respect would have been embarrassed! Rye pigs were undercooked & not edible looking. It said on the menu that it came with an extra jug of gravy but had to chase the staff around the building to ask for this & cranberry. When they can they were insulting size potions. We then waited & waited & waited & waited again for anyone to take our plates & over us pudding. After again another wait. By this time we had to extend our parking ticket. When the pudding finally arrived it was still frozen on the middle & the poring sauce was missing. Whoever the chef was today should be very embarrassed by their lack of effort & the barely even editable shot they were happy to half add onto the plates. We paid the bill & service charge not to cause a scene but honestly feel taken the piss out of my the total pack of standard & care. Needless to sawmill not be returning & will tell anyone who will listen not to go here. Shane on you!

Never disappointed with the food. Always great quality, great taste and good prices. The staff is always lovely. I keep going there and will continue.

A fabulous couple of hours having a late lunch .. I recommend it !

A lovely meal and excellent service from Millie. Will definitely be back.

Delicious, the meal is satisfactory with nice service. 😋

Really disappointed on the food. Mains without a minimum proper flavour.

Delicious food and exceptional service. Thank you.

Okay Sunday lunch - 6.5/10. Not enough veg and very few roast potatoes (definitely need to order an additional side which is £1 and you get loads!). The house wine was not great and the veg were overcooked. Friendly staff, so on the whole 7/10.

Just love Pierres. Consistently professional service (especially Phillipe, the Legend) and peaceful atmosphere. Low lighting and continental ambience. Food is delicious but not huge portions. You can save with their app if you are regular.

Very tasted food and very nice experience. I recommend Sirloin and Creme Brulee. I felt very good attending for all staff. I will repeat soon.

We had breakfast this morning starting our mums 80th birthday off to a great start. The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. Special shout out to Vijay, who went the extra mile helped decorating the table and surprised my mum with a brownie and candle. Huge thanks, we all thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great dinner with exceptional service.

I held my friend’s surprise baby shower at Bistrot Pierre in leamington Spa, back in July and it was amazing. The staff were incredible, the venue was gorgeous and the food was delicious. I cannot thank the staff enough for their help, a special mention goes to the GM who was an absolute gem. He helped me decorate the venue in between helping customers and provided me caffeine when needed. Then there was our server Philippe and his assistant Pierre, he was a total gem and made sure we had everything we needed for a truly wonderful afternoon, he was attentive, funny and fabulous! They even went out and purchased Gluten Free options for someone who had informed me only a few days before that they were GF, so that they didn’t miss out. Afterwards those who attended were contacting and telling me how much they had enjoyed the event and loved the food, the venue and the Bistrot Pierre team. A huge thank you for making the occasion truly memorable and a 10 out of 10! All in all I cannot recommend Bistrot Pierre in Leamington enough, if you are searching for the perfect venue for any celebration, then you need to book here!!!!

The chef is a genius, the food was perfection. The waiting staff are absolutely lovely, we were served by Raphaël and another gent (I’m sorry we didn’t get your name), both provided excellent service. The 6 course tasting menu we did was also amazing value for what we were given. The fish stew was my absolute favourite course, but the harissa carrot soup and chocolate mousse were close runners up. Thanks so much guys, you should all be proud of yourselves.

Always great value and super service

It used to be my regular weekend breakfast place. Alas, it won’t be any longer. Went there with a couple of friends for breakfast. Items on the plates made me wonder if we are having leftovers from the previous evening, especially bacon ‘crisps’. Also, I was not happy with the new trend of ‘discretionary service charge’ being added. I’d rather see the cost reflected in the food price.

Nice atmosphere whilst having a lovely meal and too loud which is a bonus

Sat on verandah and had lunch ..didn't get a photo as it was so tasty!

Went for breakfast with family, everything was so fresh ,only downside was no black pudding . Still 10/10 thou

Excellent service, food and value for money

Lovely food and service at Bistrot Pierre on Sat night. We were surprised to get a table for 2 after 8pm on a Saturday. Lucky!
