French cuisine can often be associated with overpriced dishes and complicated ingredients. At Le Bistrot Pierre however, it crushes these stereotypes and offers up simple French dishes in a bistro-style restaurant with very reasonable prices.
On the evening starter menu you’ll find chicken liver parfait, risotto and toast et champignons to kick off your French dining experience. When it comes to mains, you’ll – of course – find boeuf bourguignon, salmon niçoise and pan-fried duck breast. If, for whatever reason, you don’t feel like sampling the traditional French elements of the menu, the Moroccan lamb or Thai fishcakes are worth giving a try. Roast chicken with a choice of sides and steak frites is also available if you want to play things safe flavour-wise.
When it comes to wine, you can find an extensive menu of exclusively French wines and a choice of four different champagnes. The menu even has a handy flavour guide for when you need to brush up on your wine knowledge (or just want to fake it to look impressive). You can also pick from a range of different gin and tonics, there is bound to be one you’ll love. If you decide just to pay the bar a visit, the selection of bar snacks and dishes are great for soaking up all the French wine you’re likely to be drinking.
Last, but not least: dessert. It makes sense to go for the crème brûlée or bistrot crêperie with a choice of fillings to complete the French experience. However, the panna cotta and chocolate brownie are also decent options.
All housed in a bright and airy restaurant with plush red leather seating, vintage chandeliers and quirky French pop art hanging on the walls, visit Le Bistrot Pierre in the heart of Nottingham for hearty French food you don’t have to cross the channel for.
