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.

A birthday meal ruined by rude staff - 10th August 2026 Ambience is lovely. Staff were nice. Food was generally AMAZING the money bags came highly recommended and were fabulous however... I was given an Eton Mess dessert that was in a sundae glass and was purely meringue and cream with no fruit compote or fruit insight and then upon immediately refusing said dessert was charged £5 and told "we've never had an issue before, this is just how it is" How the staff's behaviour changed after giving negative feedback was the most concerning. Things should always be made right, apologising, offer of a free desert. It really ruined my birthday and the vibe for the whole evening. Despite our main meals being enjoyable the behaviour of the staff and handling of the situation left a really sour taste in my mouth, ruined my birthday evening and I would therefore not recommend this restaurant. Such a shame! Would love to have this negative experience rectified.

French onion soup x 2, salmon gnocchi, seafood moneybags, all delicious. Service from the young team who lacked training and confidence was terrible, appeared to be no leadership, management really need to up their game, respect their staff and give them the training required to be confident in their role. 10% service charge for poor service unacceptable, customers should be given the choice to tip if appropriate.

Visited on 14 August. Overall we were very disappointed. The fish cakes were virtually all mashed potato and the fish could not be tasted. Seafood money bag didn't contain a single scallop whilst there was white fish which may have been haddock but there was certainly no smoked haddock in the dish. The thermidor sauce was thin and and tasteless, mustard cheese and brandy could not be tasted also there didn't appear to be any shallots in it. We had booked on the strength of the summer menu on the web site but the menu we were given was not the same menu. We visit Skipton regularly and certain will not be going back to the bistro. On the day we were not the only customers who were dis appointed.

We used the Bistro for a work meal and had a great experience. The service was prompt, the food was delicious, and everything arrived on time. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend it as a place to eat in Skipton.

On Thursday 23 July I hosted a birthday meal for 6 people at Bistro des Amis. We enjoyed our meals, despite the poor availability of beers. We paid our bill without query. However, we were left with a 'sour taste' as we discovered from other diners outside the restaurant that staff had failed to automatically deduct the Thursday evening offer - buy one main and second half price -and they had had to ask for this. We missed out on this discount. Diners beware and check your bill carefully.
