Reviews of Bistrot Pierre

Bistrot Pierre is a beautifully designed restaurant, and the food was delicious. The cheese we ordered for the end of our meal didn't come as expected (you're given a choice of three cheeses, and myself and my partner ordered a different kind each, and were instead presented a single cheese board with three wedges of three different cheeses) but was still well received. The service was excellent upon arrival however after our main courses became quite slow despite the restaurant becoming quieter. However, we had a wonderful experience and the absolutely could not fault the food, or the friendliness of the staff. Certainly one of the better eateries in Middlesbrough.

Really flavourful and beautifully presented food. I was visiting Middlesbrough for a day and we ended up finding this lovely restaurant. While the staff was nice and helpful, that wasn't the only nice thing about it. The building itself is really different in the inside from the outside. Inside it has quite a rustic feel to it, with a mismatch of tables that actually works pretty well. When it comes to the food, the menu is simple but with a nice twist to it. We ended up ordering a chicken and cheese salad, two beef stews and a risotto. All of the plates were nicely presented and really tasty. The staff was fast when bringing the food as well. Overall a nice experience for small group or a family meal. I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent! Staying at the Holiday Inn next door, many people recommended the Bistrot Pierreand they really weren't wrong! I'm a bit of an oaf when it comes to French food but the waiters were more than happy to take the time to explain the manu and make recommendations. Food was fantastic, really tasty. Portion size was good, although those with strong appetites might need a pudding. If you do, I can't recommend the autumn fruit crumble enough... Really was quite possibly the nicest I have ever had!

Have been to Bistrot Pierre three times now on business lunches. Good selection of food, good quality. Service is pleasant but sometimes slow during lunch even when it's not overly busy. Lovely interior with good facilities. Lunch offer prices were very reasonable for what you get. Would recommend for business lunches and daytime dining in general, having not tried the evening menu.

Superb meal and ambiance ... had a pre theatre meal this evening.. amazing service from Florian our waiter who was not in our face but pleasantly attentive and cared for our every need. Wine was amazing. Starters.. hard to decide but fantastic calamari.. or the goats cheese salad with beetroot... mains.. we had delicious rump steak cooked blue and rare to perfection with an amazing peppercorn sauce.. burger was huge...boeuf bourguignon was melt in the mouth..and the vegetarian 'cheese balls ' is not only for the vegetarians... the complimentary French bread with the most exquisite butter is highly addictive. Desserts..wow. sticky toffee😘frangipane😘😘creme brulee😚😚😚topped off with a fragrant espresso... highly recommended. Decor is fab. Music in the background is perfect. Lighting creates the perfect anbiance... and an open plan kitchen where the chefs are well under control . Very impressed. Look forward to our next visit. Have my eye on the moules mariniere🙂Salvatore the general manager was very attentive and has his team running very well

Went for my dad's birthday on a Saturday night, there were 6 of us. We arrived earlier to have a drink, there isn't a huge bar area but we were happy to sit at our table as it was ready and have a drink. Not a great selection of ciders, one bottle and one on tap. Decent wine selection and gins. Enjoyed the food (husband and I had the bouillabaisse which I would strongly recommend), had 3 courses and shared wine. Staff were friendly and attentive, although they could be a little better at talking to each other. We were asked about drinks several times by different people. When we got the bill, you also get a tablet to do an immediate review (I assume this is instead of a comment card). I'm not sure this was explained to us and my dad was a little confused as to why we had been given it or what we were supposed to do.
