  • The food was all excellent. We ate everything and were delighted with our meals. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and is a lovely space to have dinner in. One small point - the booking was for 3 and 3 of us were there. The table was set for 4 but the extra glasses weren’t taken away, which seemed to confuse the staff. However, every other aspect of the service was very good.

  • A very lovely French restaurant. The taste of everything we ordered was great. Attention to the detail in each dish was commendable. The flavors were awesome. One must not miss to order the desserts. I loved the theatrical baked Alaska. Our servers - Anna and Wagner (sorry if I got the name wrong) were very attentive and helpful.

  • The room is confident without showing off. The menu is unmistakably French in the way that only a kitchen with genuine understanding can produce: classic dishes, no gimmicks, and a quiet assurance that technique matters more than trend. After nearly a quarter-century, Bistro Aix remains an unsung neighbourhood gem.

  • It was a wonderful evening. It was, to our surprise, the Supper Club, with a short story between courses. The food was delicious, the value is terrific, and service and ambiance a delight. This is a neighbourhood gem, and their attention to detail, and style, are outstanding.

  • George was very accommodating when I asked for a special dessert for my husband’s birthday. The interior of the restaurant was classy and original, the ambience was great, the staff smartly dressed and professional, and we loved the food.

  • A wonderful private dining experience. Everything was beautifully coordinated with ample time to mingle before sitting for a delicious meal. They were very attentive but didn’t hover and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.

  • Absolutely delicious food, from the most exquisitely prepared bread and parfait, through to the tremendous starters, sizeable and delectable mains, and a magnificent oozy chocolate fondant to close.
