Le Bistrot du Port

Reviewed By MIKKAVON

In nice weather, this is a great place to be -- a balmy breeze, good-looking people to admire, the harbour in front of you. The food is average -- we had seafood which was satisfactory. It satisfied our hunger but did not encourage us to come back for more. It shares a characteristic with well located restaurants -- they know people will come and eat anyway in order to enjoy the view. A captive market which restaurants exploit by serving average food.

Since the restaurant is fairly new wanted to try. Went there for lunch with a colleague. But was flabbergasted with the service. Waited for 1 hour no food no excuses no apologies from the tenant. When lunch time is practically over had to leave without eating. But food came while paying for our drinks, Had to take away the food. Did not lunch that day. But ate the food for dinner. It was nevertheless good.Dear Tropicallsland1234, first of all thank you for your comment. Also, we are very sorry to hear about your experience and we are doing our best to improve by training our staff and maintaining the good quality of the food. We are putting our menu online soon, and for a faster service, you will be able to call ahead with your order.

I recomment this restaurant. Situated in a picturesque street in the capital of the island, it is located in old stables at the back of a beautiful colonial house. Very good value for money for tasty cooking, warm welcome and good service.

A very open spaced Restaurant. food prepared with love, care and expertise. The most helpful, friendly and dedicated staff. The Caputino is really good. The Chef makes regular visits in house to meet guests and his cuisine is impressive. Chef Christophe Hardy really is the rock of Restaurant 27.
