About

Bistro Este is found in the vibrant heart of Northern Ireland’s capital, and is a gem waiting to be discovered. Located on the busy Newtownards Road, this charming bistro invites diners into a world of delicious cuisine and warm hospitality. The general vibe exudes a sense of laid-back charm, making it a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike.

Now, let's turn our attention to the star of the show – the food. Bistro Este takes pride in its diverse menu. From a 6 slow-braised featherblade of beef bourguignon with horseradish mash, anise carrot and tenderstem broccoli to the spring risotto with asparagus, petit pois, broad beans and wild garlic pesto, each plate is a masterpiece for the tastebuds, prepared with the well-sourced ingredients. Be sure to explore the menu's seasonal offerings for delightful surprises.

The early bird menu is served most days of the week from 5pm, and runs until 6.15pm on Friday and Saturday. Guests can choose from two or three courses, and add a glass of house wine for just a few pounds extra. Why not start your meal with house fermented kimchi rolls paired with Asian dipping sauce, before enjoying a beef shin ragu made with rigatoni pasta, aged parmesan and served with focaccia, and enjoying a raspberry and white chocolate crème brulee for dessert.

To complement your meal, Bistro Este has an impressive bar with an array of handcrafted cocktails, carefully curated wines, and locally sourced craft beers. Families are also well looked after, with a kids menu that allows you to choose from a singular course, two or three. Starters include a cup of homemade soup, mains a pasta bolognese or chicken goujons, and for dessert, a lovely bowl of ice cream.
