Excellent meal

It was amazing

Excellent restaurant with beautiful food, a cosy atmosphere and great service.

Four of us ate here on a Tuesday evening. Restaurant was full and consequently the two staff on duty had a hard job taking drinks and food orders, serving, clearing, cleaning glasses etc. Consequently although they tried their best service could never be good. For instance we were not asked how the food was. One of our party had ordered a mushroom pate starter which was very runny in texture and didn't taste of mushrooms. Another had a hair in their main course. At the end we asked for the starter which hadn't been eaten to be taken off the bill but this was denied. Also the billboard outside stayed that if two people had two courses on Monday to Wednesday then £10 would be taken from the bill. This was also denied. This was a shame. No sign of any management but someone needs to organise and train staff

Being new to the area, we have been sampling various restaurants to find a few favourites so we can make recommendations to our visitors. We booked the Bistro for our anniversary dinner based on the reviews. We are not fussy people but for a meal of £100 + we were disappointed. I'm happy to say my French onion soup was terrific, however scallops were unavailable - the crab starter a little bland. The salmon in the filo parcel had the skin left on - not nice. The pork dish was fine but both main courses had very little vegetables served; a quarter of a carrot and peas in stringy inedible pods. Again not pleasant. I'm pretty certain the feedback I gave to the kitchen via the waitress never reached them, as the waitresses showed little customer service or engagement - oh, until it came to the service charge which was automatically added to the bill. Sorry le Bistro you're going to have to try harder if you want our repeat business.

Lovely atmosphere, professional and friendly staff and delicious food.

Really nice meal. My wife had Scampi and I had Scallops followed by sea food parcel. All delicious. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Highly recommended.

Amazing food beautifully presented. Limited dairy free options for mains and none for desserts ( sorting that would definitely make it 5/5)

No interaction from the staff, menu and offers for the evening not explained or communicated very stern attitude from the waitress, no check to see if the meal was ok and no offer to order extra drinks, service was not good enough for this style and price of restaurant. Food however was nice.

A lovely pub with friendly staff and fabulous food. Will be visiting here again!

Super food. The scallops were divine. Great buzz and very efficient staff. Will definitely go again.

Amazing food

We often visit the bistro for an after-work meal — the food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is always lovely.

We had visited the previous evening and had been very pleased and impressed with the menu choices we made, with the ambience, and with the service. So, rather than go elsewhere in the area we chose to return for a second evening. We were not disappointed. On arrival , a young man with a lovely voice and manner welcomed us, took our dri ks order and menu choice with much personal confidence. Very impressive. We ordered Greek style feta and salad pasta that was excellent. Fresh, tasty, well tossed and nicly presented. Then we each chose a fish option...described as a filo pastry bag of sea food. Absolutely lovely. Again, fresh, delicious and nicelt presented with a delicate sauce. My lemon cheedecake dessert rounded off a first class evening meal in a very pleasing way. The waitress tonight could not have been more pleasant, interested, and helpful. Highly recommend this French/English bistro which is just off the High Street....just sorry that as we live a long way from Skipton we shall be able to visit again anytime soon.

Friendly greeting upon arrival,nice decor of restaurant, plenty of options food wise, service very good food was gorgeous and reasonably priced would definitely pay a visit again

Excellent meal!

I treated my dad, his partner & my partner to lunch there yesterday (14/6/26) & it's got a lovely charming French atmosphere. The service was excellent, I struggle to get up the stairs due to my bad knees & when we arrived the table was meant to be upstairs but they said we could sit downstairs. The staff are polite & welcoming & they were smiling a lot. The food was amazing. The only thing I would suggest with the Sunday roast would be to have more vegetables - peas, more carrots, stem fresh broccoli, dark green cabbage & sweetcorn with some butter. Apart from that, the food is amazing!
