My partner and I have been to this lovely French bistro a few times. This unpretentious establishment run by Christophe, Melanie and Alexandre is a real gem! Everytime, when leaving, we have felt very satisfied, and very content. Christophe's cuisine is classical and exceptionally executed, his dishes very tasty. Don't forget to try one his terrines, they are always meaty and aromatic, a real must. No matter which main we have chosen, the meat has always been cooked to perfection. Last week was no exception: Duck Breast served with a passion fruit sauced some Sarladaise potatoes! Delicious! The meat was juicy and the sauce the perfect balance of sweet, tart and savoury. That's when it is important to mention Alexandre, the Maitre D', a fine French sommelier. I always trust him to choose the wine to match my meal, and last week he brought a rose, a white and a red! All accompanied the duck very well by highlighting different aspects of the dish! A delight! If you have some space for desert, go and have one. No creme brûlée, nor crepe suzette! No; at Le Bistro des Gourmets you'll taste something a bit different such a Sable Breton prepared with flambee fruit, or even a Baba au Rhum with a bitter sweet chocolate mousse. No desert is over sweet, just perfectly balanced. After your meal, a Digestif is possibly what you feel like to round off such a good meal! Go for it! So, the food is great, the wine list equally so and both change often, to keep things interesting. But what keeps us coming back for more, is the service. Melanie and Alexandre clearly know what they are doing and enjoy it, making the whole experience seamless and very pleasant. Whether it be a date night a birthday or a friends' gathering, Le Bistro des Gourmets is worth a visit... or more!

It was our first time at the restaurant, and what an amazing experience it was. The staff were amazing, and we were pleasantly surprised by all the little hors dâoeuvres that kept arriving at our table between courses! Sid, you have done an amazing job with the restaurant. Food and service is top notch.
3. Market Seafood Brasserie
Reviewed By CR111
Appalling! We turned up to use our voucher on Saturday night. We had used their online booking system, so assumed everything was in order. We got there only to discover we couldn't use the voucher for another two weeks. We asked why their online system specifically allowed us to select "voucher special"... no answer. We asked to be seated and shown the menu(plenty of spare seats). The staff member was completely unhelpful. We ended up walking out. Their online system should not allow bookings to be made for special deals when they are not available. I will comment on the food in a couple of weeks, when the special is available. A visit that will be our last ever to this establishment(excellent way to waste money on marketing)
