   Absolutely superb - we hadn't been in ages, and we had such a wonderful meal, we ended up asking ourselves, 'why don't we come here more often?' Excellent service, nice ambience - really interesting choices on the menu. And a couple of excellent whiskey sours to start the night off.

   The service was fantastic, food was nice but not enough of it. The goats cheese starter was amazing, the spring rolls were nice but we have had nicer. The beef was beautiful, the lamb was sparse and a bit grizzly in parts- the food wasn’t piping hot. The dessert was a disappointment a cereal bowl of stewed fruit with a bit of crumble on the top.

   A beautiful meal. The hake with prawns in a Goan curry sauce was stunning.The service was really good also. Very friendly and efficient. It was my first visit and I look forward to returning.

   It had been a while as live other side of city , so decided to pop across city again . The welcome on arrival was really warm ,the front of house seated us immediately took a drink order , told us about early bird special and left us to look over both menus. There was a really good selection of food and drinks at a very competitive price point. A really classic menu with contemporary twist to it I would say everyone I know would find lots of favourites on the menu , we had a problem narrowing it down to three courses we wanted as there was at least 6 starters & mains we really liked . Service for a buzzing Saturday night was really well paced . I can’t say how impressed I was by the two ladies that did front of house , it’s been a long time since I have felt such sincere warmth in service they really cared about their service skills. Each dish was beautifully presented, the whipped goat’s cheese & beetroot was really light and creamy. I had lamb as a main medium rare and knife went through like butter accompanied by seasonal Al dente vegetables and fluffy fondants of mash , sticky toffee pudding in caramel sauce with ice cream finished the meal all washed down with a light Spanish Tempranillo. In summing up this must be one of the top restaurants in east Belfast a gem!!

   Long anticipated first visit did not disappoint. We both loved the signature Hake with Goan Curry and Co Armagh pork. Just wished there had been a chicken option. Superb attentive and friendly service throughout. Looking forward to a follow-up very soon.

    We really enjoyed our evening at Bistro Este - the Risotto and the Wagu burger were outstanding - the only blip was the Hake -a grey looking example of hake - not great - the service was great tho I do think a small reduction in the price of the hake or even an aperitif would have softened the disappoint But generally - Fantastic - great atmosphere & will Def be back
