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.

    Recommended for the food but do not expect the five star service that the price tag would have you expect. But the food was worth it. The food was incredible for Valentine's Day 2025. The service was kind but inattentive, our white wine was served warm for example and we had to ask for the bottle cooler to have ice to chill the bottle. It was all about the food for us, the mushroom tart appetizer was incredible as was the monkfish cooked to perfection as was the seabreem special. Big call out to the kitchen for making the experience special where the floor staff was OK.

    We had a lovely night out for a friend's birthday, overall food was lovely staff were very helpful & pleasant. The area we were sitting at was quite cold & staff adjusted heating & offered to seat us at another table was ok once heating kicked in . Their bottles of wine are expensive compared to other simular restaurants . Overall very enjoyable night with lovely food,& ambience
