Nuvo Cuisine in Southend-on-Sea

Fantastic food real value for money ! Excellent , friendly staff nothing was too much trouble definitely recommend it to all ages there’s something for everyone there as the menu caters for all and the wine list at realistic prices

What a lovely welcoming and friendly restaurant. As a coeliac I was quickly reassured that I could be catered for safely and it was good to feel that they really understood about cross contamination. All of our meals were absolutely lovely so no complains at all 😊. Would highly recommend.

Another delicious meal at the Bistro, as always beautifully cooked and presented. Brie and cranberry was excellent, as was the tomato soup. Sadly, couldn't manage to eat a dessert as we were so full!! The staff were lovely and attentive, but we missed Gjovan's smiling face. Look forward to next time!

Fabulous place to eat, went on a Sunday not a great deal of choose on the menu but everything that is on there is fantastic. I plumped for the Sunday roast which was one of the best I have had at a restaurant. Friend on mine had stake with pate and toast. Look and tasted great (according to my friend) deserts excellent. Atmosphere busy but nice and staff top notch. Would highly recommend. A1+

We have been eating at Leigh Bistro for many years and it never disappoints. The staff and service are first class, nothing is too much trouble. It's welcoming, friendly, a great atmosphere and above all the food is really good. Amazing value for money too. You have to try the mussels, they are to die for and my salmon was cooked to perfection. The brie and cranberry is yummy too and the the vegetables are cooked beautifully. Their Sundays roasts are also fabulous. You are seriously missing out if you have never been to Gjovan's Leigh Bistro. We 100% recommend this restaurant.

We visited on a lovely Saturday evening. They had an offer between 6-7pm two courses £14.95, loads of choice on the menu and you can add more expensive offer with a few £’s extra. Courteous staff, clean and pleasant restaurant. Will be back.

Food was excellent Didn't wait long for it to be served although restaurant was very busy at the time Waiter very attentive and checked if we were satisfied with meal

Had a great Saturday night, the restaurant was busy but buzzing! The staff were amazing and the food was delicious! I can't recommend this place enough!

Rude. Didn’t want to know. Don’t recommend Walked in on time asking for table, too busy on their phones to show interest.

Went on a Thursday evening on a Travelzoo deal. Live in Chelmsford, so not local, but thought we'd give it a go for the price. So happy we did. The food was amazing. Great quality, large portions, and extremely well cooked. Staff were lovely. Will definitely be back

I just wanted to say thank you for looking after me yesterday lunchtime, 7th March. I was in a group of 5 and I explained I had Coeliac disease. I was made to feel welcome and reassured that I would be catered for. You explained you could adapt anything off the menu and informed me of my dessert options. It's such a worry being Coeliac and eating out but you made the experience very easy and reassuring for me. My food was delicious and i didn't have any after effects. Thank you and i will definitely be returning.

We had a delightful eve at this restaurant. The decor is beautiful and the service was extremely good...the food was very tasty and cooked to perfection. Would recommend

Went for lunch, good choice of food. I had the mushroom and spinach pasta, it was lovely. We were not rushed between courses. Owner was very friendly and welcoming. A real treat with a great relaxed atmosphere - we will be going again.

Such a great bistro. Really good food and really friendly staff. We go whenever we are in the area. I would highly recommend.

Second time fing at this lovely, friendly restaurant. Table for 14, 3 of which were little ones in Highchairs. Fantastic service, wonderful food, such good attention to the little ones, very reasonably priced and so very friendly. Highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely time.

wish I'd discovered this place sooner! lovely meal with my friend for my birthday. food was delicious and staff were great. fabulous little bistro. will definitely be my go-to from now on in Leigh (where there's too many over-priced and under-whelming restaurants). Thank you for a super night :)

First time trying Leigh Bistro for Sunday lunch, and it didn’t disappoint! We regularly visit when the “Song Doctors” band are playing, but will definitely be returning on a more regular basis from now on. For a Sunday lunch menu the choice is amazing, with plenty of options, including vegetarian, available - my wife & I both had the roast beef and it was excellent - cooked perfectly, very slightly pink, just how we like it, and the portions are just the right size! The atmosphere in the place is terrific, everyone having a great time, and the staff are extremely friendly and chatty, especially Gjovan the owner, and the prices are also very good! If you’ve not been here before I’d recommend you give it a try - you won’t be disappointed!

Leigh bistro is by far one of my all time favourite restaurants. The food is quality, the service is spectacular and the atmosphere is perfect. Thank you Gjovan once again for a perfect meal. Nothing seems too much trouble and you always have a smile on your face. I'll be back soon!

We visited the Leigh Bistro for our Christmas Family lunch out for the 3 rd consecutive year. The food, service & atmosphere is consistently outstanding! Thank you for an awesome experience once again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I booked Leigh Bistro for a party of 18 people just based on previous reviews. I was not disappointed. Fantastic food at reasonable prices coupled with excellent service. The place looks fantastic as well. Gjovan responded quickly by email when I wanted to change party size or find out if I could take a birthday cake in. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

This friendly family run restaurant is wonderful. The food is tasty, the service professional. We are so lucky to have Leigh Bistro in Leigh on Sea !

This restaurant is excellent!! I will be going again and will let all my friends and family know how good this place is.

Last minute booking for a family group of 16 people to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday. We have never been before, but it didn't disappoint! The food was delicious for meat eaters and vegetarians of the group and all members of staff were friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely evening, We plan to return!

We came here on a very busy and hot Sunday in early September. There were 6 adults and a one year old celebrating my partners 60th birthday. What a fabulous time we had! There was a bit of a problem with the draft beer, so the men went on bottles. There was wine, sangria, cocktails and coke all drunk. We chose various starters including the prawn cocktail, mussels and pork all were superb. For the mains, 5 out of 6 chose steak. They all came up together and perfectly cooked, we were all delighted. A few of the party chose dessert, the chocolate fondant and sticky toffee pudding were declared delicious. Our one year old had garlic bread followed by spaghetti bolognaise which he thoroughly enjoyed. We had a fabulous afternoon. The food was sublime and the service great. I can highly recommend The Leigh Bistro Thank you so much to Gjovan and his team

Such a beautiful day with friends at Leigh Bistro. The food was amazing, atmosphere was great and we were looked after so well by Peter. Absolutely love this restaurant and I always recommend it to friends and family. Highly recommend the Brie for starter and on a Sunday, the Roast Beef is top notch. Thank you for looking after us so well.

First time visiting here and we weren't disappointed! I had asparagus for starter, seabass for main and sorbet for dessert. The seabass was the best I have ever tasted and I was so impressed. I want to go back just for that dish alone!! The staff were incredible, very attentive and made sure our glasses were topped up the entire time (as a mum it was lovely having that extra attention to not have to fill my own glass!) Peter was lovely and was making sure that all of his customers were looked after and had everything that they needed. We even got a complimentary tequila rose at the end! Great food, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff! Definately will be back!!! 100% recommend!

Had a great night out on 14th Sept. Food was excellent and the live entertainment was brilliant (Song Doctors) Excellent evening. Look out for live entertainment nights as well worth going

We always enjoy our visit to Leigh Bistro. Excellent service from well trained staff. Fabulous food. Comfortable surroundings.

What a little Gem of a place went on a gorgeous Thursday afternoon. Restaurant right next to a lovely pub Had a voucher to us for here , was a really nice restaurant. With wonderful food partner had the lamb rump Delicious, and had the chicken 🍗 so very tasty. And owner was really helpful. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will certainly be back soon . Great find …

We were fortunate to receive a ‘Buyagift’ voucher for a meal and bottle of wine and we chose the Leigh Bistro as we knew we would be able to travel to it by public transport (as we don’t drink and drive). We had never heard of this restaurant until we saw the information that accompanied the gift voucher but thought it sounded good and decided to try it – we are very glad that we did, we had a most enjoyable meal. The restaurant is conveniently located in central Leigh-on-Sea and is pleasantly decorated, comfortably furnished and everything seemed clean (including the toilets). Service was friendly and efficient and the menu has a good range of dishes. Although we were not paying as such, we noted that prices seemed reasonable. Our meals were well presented, very tasty and, in my opinion, portion size was ideal, neither too much nor too little. It seems that the restaurant is quite popular so it maybe worthwhile booking in advance if you wish to dine there. All in all, we had a most enjoyable time at the Leigh Bistro and hope to visit again in the not-too-distant future.

A little gem of a restaurant in Leigh on Sea. Went to the broadway to go to a jewellers and this came up as one of the top places for lunch and you could not go wrong! The food was insane, the lamb rump with mint mash potato followed by chocolate fondant was superb. Service was great and we can’t wait to return and try other dishes Their set menu is very good value for money.

Great little restaurant opening up onto The Broadway. Good attendance for a Tuesday night is always a good sign. Varied menu, 2 courses for £17.95 midweek. Food was delicious. Service was fine and friendly. We will return. Thank you.

Great meal and excellent service owner is always friendly and takes his time to talk to you definitely the best place in leigh to go for a really great meal

Been going here for about 5 years and still going, says it all really. Food is superb. The waitress we always seem to have is so lovely always a smile and a chat asking how we are. Love the Affogatto for dessert. Great place to lunch and plenty of shops nearby. Ooh and don’t forget the delicious glass of white Zinfandel to top it off 😊

Lovely Sunday lunch. Goats cheese and beetroot salad to start and duck for mains, beautifully cooked cannot recommend enough, is a must to try, staff friendly and attentive.

Visited Leigh Bistro again for a friend birthday. Outstanding food.... Had the Chateau Briand which was cooked perfectly . Gjovan and his team were outstanding. Thank you.

My sister is visiting from Australia and we haven’t seen her for 12 years so finding the right restaurant was so important and we couldn’t have chosen better. This restaurant is cozy in size but not small and the food was spot on. It’s not...

Birthday meal and wasn’t disappointed. Good value early bird offer. Nicely presented food and all very good. Very friendly and comfortable. Will definitely return

Disgusting and appalling behaviour from staff. We’re lectured about 5 times about how his staff don’t communicate so we need to follow up with email! Do not go here for undercooked bland food and to feel like a child !!!

Was so rude and blamed us for coming in on Saturday even thought they knew we had groupon then proceeded to tell us they had turned people away because of us it’s not on

Our friend and his sister visited this establishment 2 weeks ago for a lunchtime get together. They both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My wife and I visited for an evening meal last night, and I must say we both very much enjoyed the meal, along...

Our first visit, and not our last ! Excellent menu, high quality food, nicely cooked. Friendly/helpful staff, sensible prices. Not sure what else you can ask for in a "proper" high street restaurant/bistro. (Maybe a few more wines by the glass please).

We had a groupon voucher, nowhere in the fine print did it say we couldn't use on a Sunday, so we booked for then. We ordered our meal and figured if we went over we'd pay the excess, to which we was told he was...

Four of us had lunch there taking advantage of their 2 meal set price, not only were all the meals excellent but great value for money.We each had different starters and mains and not one was below par. Highly recommended.
