  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful breakfast at Bistrot Pierre in Eastbourne! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and everything cooked perfectly. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The view is simply stunning and made the whole experience even more special. Great food, fantastic service, and an amazing location – we couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Eastbourne!”

  “Our wedding anniversary dinner at Pierre Bistro offered a mix of high notes and missed opportunities. The location is truly second-to-none. Perched on the edge of the Western Lawns, the view is spectacular - sweeping from Beachy Head in the west to the Pier and seafront to the east. We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed a beautiful summer evening on the balcony, which set a fantastic tone for the night. We had specifically booked to try the six-course "Gastronomique" tasting menu, hoping it would be a showcase of the kitchen’s best work. While the menu selection looked promising, the execution didn't quite deliver the culinary experience we had hoped for. Nothing was "bad," but there was a distinct lack of the wow factor one expects from a tasting menu - the kind of innovation and flavour depth that leaves you eager to return for their main menu. It felt like a missed opportunity to truly impress, perhaps sacrificed for higher volume. We would have happily paid a premium for a more refined, memorable experience. The service, while friendly, was a bit disjointed. There was some initial confusion regarding who was responsible for our table, leading to a noticeable delay in being served. Most disappointing, however, was being informed upon the arrival of the dessert course that the kitchen had run out of the advertised dark chocolate tarte, replaced instead by a lemon dessert. It is difficult to understand how a restaurant can run out of a component on a fixed-price, pre-booked set menu. While the meal offered decent value for the price, it didn't quite hit the mark for a special occasion. We left feeling that for a destination with such an incredible setting, the food and service didn't quite reach the potential of the venue. There are other spots in Eastbourne offering a more polished dining experience, so while we enjoyed the evening, we aren't necessarily rushing back.”

  “Prebooked for 4 for a midweek gastronomique dinner, weather was beautiful, so restaurant was busy with lots of customers sitting outside. Seemed to be understaffed for the number of customers. We were shown to a table and advised of the many dishes which weren't available from both menus, and were also advised that the entire table must choose the same menu, otherwise the kitchen would be out of sync with courses. How does the kitchen cope when some guests choose entree and main, others main and dessert, and then some all 3 courses?! We decided on the menu Pierre. The food was OK. The baked camembert didn't have enough bread for the cheese, and the (4) camemberts were served having clearly been warmed for very different times. Service was slow, with a couple of issues; main courses brought out when entree hadn't been taken away, ~10 minutes for a bottle of wine to arrive, it had been forgotten. When it did arrive we were warned the glasses were hot as just washed, and they have no ice to cool them quickly.... We were all a little underwhelmed at the end of the evening!”

  “It's been the second time that I visited the place. The food keeps being fantastic, the view is amazing (sea view) but this last time the service was not that great. We wait a lot for getting served (they were not that busy) and it took them 20 minutes to come so we could pay the bill.”

  “Went for a rare treat with the Wife, I ordered the half Lobster and when it arrived there was no meat worth eating, Could not remove any meat with a knife or fork it was hard and dryed up. the manager's comment was that what its meant to be like that. Only when a junior member of staff intervened was my meal sent back and replaced with a steak dinner which was a nice meal.The wife order a medium done fillet steak which was very under cooked. Its such a shame as we have eaten there before and the food is normally good. The table staff were very nice but the manager just tryed to fob us off. £32 for a dinner you could not eat it ! hard to give a fair star rating, food I will give 2 stars due to the problems and the service the same but only because of the manager, the table staff were good, Atmosphere was normal so 4 stars”

  “We had a lovely lunch and were really impressed from start to finish. To begin, we ordered the calamari, crab choux, and the brie and onion tart, all of which were absolutely delicious. Everything arrived hot and fresh, clearly prepared with care and attention to detail. The true highlight of the meal, however, was the citron tart. It was easily one of the best lemon tarts I’ve ever had, perfectly balanced with a vibrant citrus flavour and just the right sourness with sweetness. A real standout that I’ll be thinking about for a while! To top it all off, the waiters were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning and would happily recommend it to others.”

  “Yesterday we celebrated 30 years of marriage and we had a great experience, with a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine included! We ordered the festive 3-course meal and the food was excellent. If the grilled salmon had a little more sauce and potato cubes it would have been perfect. The food came quickly. The staff provided excellent service, especially Sandra and Agnes.”

  “I ate here with two good friends on a Friday. It is highly recommended to pre-book as they don't as, a rule, accommodate walk-in's and it is generally always busy. The sun was shining so we chose to sit outside, which was lovely, we were also given the option of a table inside if we had wanted. I thoroughly enjoyed my seabass, the fish was fresh and the accompanying tomatoes and potatoes were really tasty. My friends enjoyed their meals too, the pork in red wine and half roast chicken with side dishes of broccoli and green salad. Our bottle of Veuve Rose' wine was delightful. Our meals were reasonably priced, a discretionary service charge is added, but can be removed if you would like to, we chose not remove it. Sergio our waiter was funny, personable and has a friendly, professional manner. Service was swift and efficient our meals were piping hot and served with a smile. Compliments to the chef and the team too.”
