About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem

Great for brunch

Join us for a unique, intimate, stylish and lively time day or night.
We offer lunch/brunch and dinner Wednesday through to Sunday.
Great cocktails, superb wines, delicious food, stylish ambience, and smiling staff what more could you want.
Entirely hidden from the street, Bijou has an upstairs heated terrace, sheltered and with heaters. So joins us for brilliant outdoor dinning also.
Bijou is the perfect place for any all celebrations so if you are thinking of celebrating that birthday, christening, wedding or you just want a gang please give us a call to discuss options,
Just a couple of things to note:
All tables are booked for 1 hour and 45 minutes. After your allotted time we will require the table back. We do not take bookings for drinks only.
If you book an outdoor table your table will be outdoor unless, on the off chance, we have space inside at your chosen time.

Found the food quite bland. While steak was a nice cut of beef, it was clear it wasn't seasoned, same for the halibut, which was slightly over-seared too. Allergens not visible on the menu, combined with staff not being well educated on allergens friendly options either, did not leave us with much confidence.
