“Amazing- a must for anyone who appreciates good food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

We had the most amazing dining experience at this wonderful place. The drinks, food and service were great. I ordered the fillet minion and I can honestly say it is the best I have ever eaten in Bali.

“Looks can be deceiving”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013 via mobile

After walking past this restaurant several times and thinking how magnificent it looked we decided to have dinner. The place is beautiful, loved the decor.
Shame about the service, it took a long time for our order to be taken, then our drinks to come, (worst bloody mary ive had in a while) then our food took an exceptionally long time to come, I was bored and ready to leave waiting for it.
Finally it came and it was extremely bland and not much of it.
Over priced for what it was too
Such a shame. It looked so promising

“Absolutely fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013 via mobile

The Bistrot was simply amazing. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the atmosphere was incredible. The fit out of the Bistrot is gorgeous - we had such a fantastic night! I got to meet the famous Stephanie, she was absolutely lovely and made sure that everything was seen to. 10/10! Best eat I have had in Bali to date. Thank you for an incredible night.

“Not Bad...but could do a lot better”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

After seeing the cool ads in various Mags alerting to Bistrot opening, I was excited to finally get to try it with a group of friends last night. The decor is amazing, the room has a great feel to it, arriving early and leaving relatively late we got to see the space in daylight with not many people and at night time when it was packed, the room holds up very nicely. Service was OK, Stephanie was very friendly, and waitresses were happy and engaged but seemed to lack some basic table service skills (removing plates, filling wine glasses etc.) Major letdown was definitely the food..I had such high hopes and it simply didnt cut it. We ordered a number of different Tapas sharing dishes and i found all of them to be quite bland and uninspiring, even though reading them on the menu, they sounded delicious. The scallop dish was simply a disgrace 4 tiny tiny scallops placed along the edge of the plate with a pile of salad and procuitto in the middle, garlic prawns were overcooked, fois gras was nice but again not much of it (and brioche served was stone cold)
Off site parking is handy but overall there are some things they need to address in order to survive in "Eat Street" in Bali as the competition is tough...I wish them well as Bistrot has the potential of being something really special.
