About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
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.

Two main courses were good but two fish courses very poor, overcooked, only warm. Service was slow, priority given to a party upstairs resulted in a wait of 1 hour for main course.
