It may be that you will first dine at Bistro 1 on a friend’s recommendation, or perhaps you will stumble upon it quite by accident, the lively atmosphere drawing you inside. It’s equally likely that you’ll discover the restaurant while hunting for the perfect pre-theatre meal. Whatever the reason, Bistro 1 will ensure you leave a satisfied customer, not to mention a brand new devotee.
Let the menu take you on an exciting and authentic Mediterranean excursion, from France right through to Egypt, stopping off in Turkey and Italy along the way. A wealth of fresh, healthy and remarkably flavoursome cuisine is on offer, encompassing a pleasing variety of ingredients, aromas and cooking techniques. To start, the chefs could rustle you up some spicy Turkish sausage with own-recipe dressing, or perhaps a mixed mezze including falafel, kisir and dolma amongst other traditional Middle Eastern favourites. Moving on, the main-course section features delights such as the moussaka, shish kebabs and penne Napolitano, as well as an array of seafood dishes. Finally, you can choose from the list of indulgent homemade desserts including apple tarte tatin, crème caramel and tiramisu.
Despite the diversity of this speciality cuisine, Bistro 1 maintains a simple and unpretentious approach; its up-front and affordable dishes always served in friendly surroundings at equally friendly prices. The resulting loyal custom has helped spin the restaurant’s 12-year-long yarn of success, which will no doubt continue for many more years to come.
