Neo Bistro in City of London, Westminster

E’ stato strano essere ricevuti dal titolare che a locale praticamente vuoto ( 2 tavoli occupati) mentre fuori i locali adiacenti avevano le file di attesa, alla mia richiesta di un tavolo x 4 mi ha chiesto se avessi letto il menu .... il menu effettivamente è strano con piatti fuori dal comune ma in realtà propone un costo fisso (mmmm) a scelta fra 1 portata, 2 portate o 3 portate a scelta. Fin qui tutto bene, patti chiari e amicizia lunga. I piatti tutti squisiti, va detto, perfetti come sapore e impiattamenti. Peccato che il prezzo pagato non abbia rispettato le iniziali premesse dato che praticamente tutti i piatti hanno un extra da pagare che non è ben specificato nel menu e quindi il conto è aumentato oltre che per il servizio imposto. Consiglio comunque il posto per la qualità e per il sapore. Consiglio di guardare bene i prezzi e i vari extra meno chiari.

Visité este restaurante por primera vez esta semana con dos amigos. La comida era excepcional y el servicio era igualmente impresionante. Me encantaron los sabores frescos y mi bacalao estaba fuera de este mundo. He hecho otra reserva para diciembre que fue tan buena!

Neo Bistro tiene un solo problema: su ubicación. Si estuviera situado en el sur o el este de Londres, habría colas alrededor de la cuadra todas las noches. Lamentablemente, está justo al lado de Oxford Street y un jueves por la noche estaba medio vacío. Y esta es una tragedia ya que la comida es espectacular! El menú es estrecho, pero cubre todo el espectro con platos vegetarianos, carnes y pescados, y todo es delicioso. El tartar de carne de vacuno británico fue uno de los mejores que he comido y el ánade real fue fantástico pero, básicamente, todo lo que pasó por nuestros labios fue sublime. El chef principal también explicó cada plato que realmente contribuyó a nuestro disfrute de la comida. Pero lo realmente sorprendente es el gran valor que tiene: 22 para dos cursos y 27 para tres. También había una gran lista de vinos con botellas de menos de 30. Así que nuestra factura total para tres con una botella de Malbec, digestivos y servicio fue de 125!

Celebramos el cumpleaños de mi esposo en Neo Bistro y no nos decepcionó. El restaurante parecía un poco vacío y nos preocupamos, pero la sensación se evaporó tan pronto como probamos la comida. Fue excelente Tom (el gerente, creo) y Naz (el chef) estuvieron presentes explicando los platos y aconsejándonos sobre el maridaje. Los sabores eran innovadores (bacalao y puré de calabaza perfectamente cocinados con un toque de hierba de limón), exquisitamente presentados y el sabor era sublime. En términos de valor, si estuviera comiendo la misma comida de alta calidad en un restaurante con una estrella Michelin, estaría pagando el doble / triple del precio. Bien vale la pena la visita.

Este lugar es simplemente increíble. Todo lo que he tenido aquí ha sido una agradable sorpresa. La presentación, la calidad de la comida y, por supuesto, el servicio, es perfecta. Estaba un poco indeciso a escribir esta crítica porque es mi lugar favorito personal en Londres y quería mantenerlo en secreto. Pero debería compartir el amor.

Loved this restaurant! Amazing front of house team who couldn't be more helpful. Delicious and interesting tasting menu with perfect portion sizes so we were satisfied but not over-stuffed. Slightly limited cocktail list but good wines.

Tried a dinner at Neo Bistrot and was delightfully surprised by the tasting menu. Variety, research and excellent service were the keys to our pleasurable evening. P.S. The head chef is a MASTER with sauces

Had tasting menu - only one word: AWESOME Great service as well, they are extremely friendly and professional

Went for lunch with a friend and was slightly concerned a the lunch menu is limited My concerns evaporated when the manager explained each dish in detail My friend and I chose different dishes and each one was first class. Quality of food excellent and the flavours were exceptional Definitely worth a visit PS the dinner menu is more extensive

Wonderful dinner for our last evening in London. Delicious fish, meat, vegetables, sides, and dessert. Options for vegetarians. Very reasonable prices. Outstanding service. Small and casual setting with sophisticated cooking.

Four of us ate dinner here and were all impressed with quality of the food and the informed service. Stand out dish for me was the squid ink tortelloni and others loved the deconstructed jaffa cake for dessert. I was taken with the juxtaposition of this, very modern restaurant with a dinosaur Angus Steak House next door. Couldn't be more different. The food at Neo is interesting, beautifully prepared and presented, and good value for this very central location. Wines are reasonably priced and the recommendations proved to be good. The interior decor is not to my taste and the view from the outside is not enticing, but don't be put off. This restaurant is well worth visiting.

I left this place hungry despite having an entree, a main and a desert..... plates are well presented, innovative, tasty and portion tiny! The ceviche was 3 slices of fish. The lamb main was a slice of lamb, rather than a chunky piece as one would expect for that type of 'hearty' dish. These bite-size plates also come full price!!

A great place in Mayfair. Food was curated extremely well, tasted delicious and we have made note for revisit in the future.

Well, the food is definitely worth sampling, everything is freshly prepared, and the poached cod I had was absolutely unexceptionable. However, perhaps I am a cheepskate or otherwise ignorant (have no way of comparing with similar places in London): I found the helpings a bit 'minimalistic' (not only for main courses, but the cheese selection for 'pudding' was a joke), and prices rather steep--not to mention the wines. Service is friendly and prompt, the atmosphere informal and relaxed (chair seats should have a textile covering, not be bare wood), but not inviting to linger after a meal.

We went here for dinner on a weeknight, having been told about it by local friends. From the outside it is not impressive and even inside it is rather spare. Do NOT let that put you off. The food is creative, delicious, and amazing considering there are only three people turning it out from an open postage stamp-sized kitchen. Very interesting international wine list—French, American, Greek, and even Czech. Do seek this place out and go. You will not be disappointed.

We visited NeoBistro twice during our last visit to London and twice this time too, including for our final evening eating out, and all for good reason. The food (see my last review) is, if anything, better than before and that is saying something. The...

If I had not read about this restaurant, I would not have found it, since it is ''hidden'' near Oxford Street. Nice and warm interior and both a la carte and set menu are provided for dinner. Everything that we tasted was delicious and the...

A creative menu with imaginative cooking. Food is freshly prepared to order in an open kitchen. It's a small restaurant so it's almost having a personal chef. It's the antidote to places that do nothing beyond serving food kept warm on a hot plate that...

We had the tasting menu with wine pairings and it was fantastic. The food and wine were both delicious and interesting, and the whole evening was very good value for money. The staff were helpful and gave us full explanations of everything we were served....

We had been looking forward to our meal here for so long, but was unfortunately sorely disappointed. First off, the food is absolutely delicious - no faults there. However, there were a # of errors with service. #1 the restaurant was empty and we were...

Eaten at Neo three times-two midweek lunches and one Saturday dinner. Quality of food and service superb. Amongst the very best value dining experiences in Central London. But why was it virtually empty when we visited for lunch? It’s located just off Oxford Street and...

Had the tasting menu on Saturday night. Food was delicious - modern twists on classic British food. Wine pairings were great. Service was quick. Our waiters Nico and Irina were charming and knowledgable. This is a new place that deserves to succeed.

Although the portions are small, they taste divine and I was surprisingly full. The staff were friendly without being intrusive. I enjoyed every morsel and can't wait to go back.

The place is really relaxed, the service is good and polite, one of the waiters, with a beard, has a nice sense of humour and was fun to chat with. The portions are small, but the food is superb, I think it's excellent value for...

Nice ambiance for a delicious dinner. Friendly atmosphere, the dishes were well balanced for an enjoyable result.

I would unquestionably give this 5 stars were it not for the portions which were overly "nouvelle cuisine" sized. The taste of our Sea Bream was superb and had we known how good the food was, we probably would have gone for the 7 course...

Had a great time at Neo, it’s unpretentious & pared back - they let the food do the talking. The menu, a la carte or tasting menu is concise & all courses were light, beautifully presented & delicious, the wine offer interesting & varied. Service...

right next to bond street tube this is good for both the west end and for those in the city really nice venue good staff excellent food super well done

Set menus for a birthday bash preceded by some wine tasting. Set menu dishes were not available for sampling however the food on the day had a flair, flavour and flourish. The wines too though there were some misses. All at a fairly reasonable price...

The food, wine and service make this one of my top 3 in london. The prices are excellent. It lacks in ambience and I hate them entrance / front style and Its nearer impossible to find BUT! once you are in, this place is incredible...

Firstly, good work with a German Pinot Noir. Second, thanks so much for accommodating our picky requests on a tasting menu night. Food perfectly prepared, a total lack of pretension and another visit on the cards v soon. Thank you!

Exciting new opening in Mayfair, London. Cozy restaurant serving up incredible dishes and cocktails . Fine dining without the pretentious atmosphere . Very affordable testing menu and a la carte prices as well as a set menu . I enjoyed being able to see the...

Ich war mit einem Freund zum Abendessen im Neo. Wir hatten einen Platz an der Bar reserviert. Der Empfang war...

Beautifully tasting food, from first to last, at times delicately subtle at others big and bold, as demanded by the nature of the dish; all of which is beautifully presented and beautifully served in a relaxed but highly professional manner. This happy culinary experience is...

Excellent meal. The home cured venison sausage, sea trout, short rib beef (amazing!), banoffee and cheese were all amazing. Cheeky bottle of carmenere was bang on. Top service. Well done!

Firstly the restaurant and service was very good, but the food was underwhelming. Two tiny seafood starters, the short rib of beef was well cooked but we ordered two accompaniments. A tiny bowl of potato pieces the size of peas and kale dish with virtually...

This was a gem of a find by a good friend of mine. And what a find! We've just been back for a second time around and again: outstanding in all areas. Alex and his tightly knit team are Michelin starred top notch. When I...

We loved this small restaurant. Located in a small street front space off of a very busy street, it felt like finding a small neighborhood gem within otherwise crowded London. The food tasted excellent, was presented beautifully. The staff could not have been friendlier or...

Had a truly great 45 pound prix fixe dinner at Neo Bistro. Hand churned butter! Fresh baked bread! Delicious and inventive pastas including a duck tortelloni that was to die for. Intimate feel, great service, and yummy food in a warm setting. Would go back.

Intimate venue, the kitchen is at the rear of the room and there's a lovely vibe about the place. he staff are very attentive and naturally friendly. But its he food that steals the show. £45 for the tasting menu for Central London is amazing...

Great food, great wine, great experience. Highlights were the octopus, gnocchi, trout, lamb (oh, the lamb), pre-dessert of dulce de leche. A surprising find in this part of London which is not known for trendy restaurants (although it is only 10 minutes walk or so...

This restaurant is really a true find in a little bit of wasteland off Oxford Street. Amazing food, wonderful service and the wines are to die for. However, don’t give the secret away otherwise everyone will be there!

A superb food, the tasting menu ticket all the right boxes, the drinks and wine are well matched. The only downside was the table, crammed into the corner with people constantly pushing past. Not enough room to eat.

This is a fabulous deceptively informal bistro serving the most astonishing food - every dish a winner - breathtaking - absurdly good value

I can't say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is down to earth. The staff is extremely friendly and approachable. No attitude here- just delicious, inventive food in a warm setting. The cost isn't bad considering the level...

When we read that the former owner of Anglo and the former chef at the Harwood Arms had teamed up to open Neo Bistro we knew it had to be special and they did not disappoint . Located just off Oxford street near Bond Street...

Just round the corner from Bond Street tube and the madness of Oxford Street this is a haven of culinary delight. I was here for lunch. The tasting menu looked really interesting (next time!) but we went a la carte. The amuse bouche were an...

We went for the tasting menu and were thoroughly delighted. Very good value for money. Would definitely come back!

You can tell a good restaurant by how deals with problems. The kitchen somehow missed our side orders, but that was put right quickly, they removed the relevant main course from the bill and gave us a complimentary glass of dessert wine. The staff were...

Situated just off Oxford St and close to Bond St Neo is a recent addition to the London dining scene. The room is simply done out with an open plan kitchen at one end. It reminded me of the late Market restaurant in Camden. We...

Ristorante superlativo , tutto ottimo . Personale gentilissimo, pulizia e ordine I tre cuochi cucinano e preparano i piatti con...

Saw Neo Bistro pop up on a few recent "best of 2017" lists for London, so opted to give it a try on a recent visit. Couldn't have been more pleased with the food, atmosphere, and service. We dined on a Saturday, so set menu...

My London based niece (A total foodie) booked a catch up meal for us both at Neo. The atmosphere was relaxed and easy, the service friendly and non-intrusive and the food ... a genuine delight. Seasonal fare, prepared and cooked in full view. Presentation simple...

Had a lovely evening, amazing food and very friendly staff. We had the tasting menu which was really good. Definitely would go back.

Original, exciting and delicious. Just by Bond St station, a most unlikely location for such a unique restaurant, the surrounding area being mainly fast food factories full of back packing tourists. Alex the patron/chef gifted us a taster of his made in house version charcuterie...

My partner and I visited for dinner yesterday. They were happy to tailor the tasting menu to suit our vegetarianism (sorry about that folks, we didn't realise that only the tasting menu was available). That said, the food was sublime and probably one of the...

Having read an enthusiastic review of Neo Bistro, I took a visiting New Yorker to lunch. We were both absolutely enchanted by the food and the atmosphere. I have already booked my return visit. Definitely a place with which to fall in love.

If simple is the new cool, this new place which opened not two weeks ago is simply too cool for school! This unpretentious restaurant, does need a keen eye to initially locate on Woodstock Street however, the food is a trendy new festival in itself!...

Wow, wow, wow! It's Michelin star food in a casual setting for a reasonable price. Where else can you find this in London? This is a standout restaurant doing something different. Go before it gets too popular as this will surely become one of the...

I have written a review but you must look under Woodstock Tavern as I couldn't find this when I submitted it ... All I will say is that I would return when in London again.. Fantastic ....
