About Le Bistro Des Amis

Le Bistro Des Amis sits at the heart of the beautiful market town of Skipton. It’s a characterful venue with a lively French-style bistro at ground level and more of a restaurant feel upstairs. There’s also a mezzanine floor which is great for private dining. You can expect classic French cuisine served alongside modern British dishes based on ingredients sourced locally or direct from the famous French markets. Signature dishes include Traditional French Onion Soup, Moules Marinière and French fries, Traditional Burgundy Beef Bourguignon and Poulet a la Normandy Escalope. And all of the wines are sourced from The Wright Wine Company in Skipton. The staff here are super friendly and efficient and the cosy, laid back feel makes Le Bistro Des Amis the perfect choice whether you just want to pop in for a quick coffee or beer or linger over a full three-course dinner.

The food was outstanding as normal but my wife and I both thought that the service was really poor.

Went on Sunday having had the place recommended to us, when booking over the phone I was promised “the best Sunday lunch in Skipton “, the service was good, had to wait 35 minutes for food, staff lovely but I have to say the temperature of the food was only luke warm, the food was good the beef fantastic but so disappointed with the lack of heat. Would I go back, yes I’d try it again. When the bill was brought I was asked re my food and I did mention that I was disappointed with the temperature he did apologise although nothing he could do, 5 mins later at the till when paying he asked again if everything had been ok, and I reminded him of the temperature, so within 5 minutes he had forgotten. I also think the 10% service charge should NOT be added on when the bill is brought to you, but asked at the till if you want it adding

Sadly this was a disappointing experience. We were a table of 6 and were booked early when few tables were occupied. Our starters were not delivered together - about 15 minutes from the first to last being delivered. It appears that one of them had been forgotten. Main courses were delivered closer together but I reckon the quality of the cooking was medium, not high. Service was patchy. This was due in part to a very new team member (presumably not well trained), and no team work between the servers and the kitchen. The kitchen seemed to be struggling to get out food orders. One of the serving staff spent a long time chatting to a couple at a nearby table who he appeared to know well - to the detriment of the service overall. This will be our last visit!

My friend and myself had a beautiful meal yesterday Wednesday 26th November. We started with Scallops beautiful cooked and very tasty. Main course my friend had lamb chop which was delicious and very large. I had pork which melted in your mouth and beautiful cooked. For Desserts we had Crème Brûlée served with shortbread, treacle tart served with ice cream. Everything was beautifully served and delicious. Excellent value for money will be going again. I have been 4 times now and never disappointed.

We regularly visit Le Bistro on a Saturday lunch time when visiting our family and have always had excellent food and great service. However on 7/11 we visited for my partners birthday. It was much busier than usual and the staff were running all over the place trying to keep up. Yes many things about the service were not great but what I would say , for us, this was not the norm and won’t stop us coming back. The young lad in charge ( don’t know his name apologies) was doing his best and was still friendly, polite and apologetic in very challenging circumstances !

Excellent food and service, extremely patient staff while we sorted out the bill!! My only comment…….the chicken came with mash which should have been sautéed potatoes , there were 26 in our group and I couldn’t send it back and risk waiting ages for it to be corrected. Would definitely recommend.

Visited on 7th Nov with my wife. What a superb evening, restaurant was relatively full but this did not retract from service. A reasonable time between courses allowing time to enjoy the wine but not to long. Owner on hand to ensure everyone happy very affable. We had pate starters and sea bass main all perfect. Great staff, great food good value. If we come back to the area will definitely call back.
