About Bistro Eleven Fifty Five
On Argyle St, Bistro Eleven Fifty Five serves an Irish menu across 37 dishes, in a room with exposed stone and industrial fittings. Starters include Milk Bread & Butter, Wheaten & Butter, and oysters served in portions of one, three, or six, while the beef tartare is made from barrel fillet and comes with a vegetarian alternative. The crisp pig's head croquettes and leek vinaigrette round out the smaller plates, and a sirloin sharer is offered for splitting. A set tasting menu runs from starters to share through several mains to dessert, with a wine pairing option and a cheese course available as an add-on, and staff talk diners through each course. Reservations are recommended. A private dining room accommodates groups, the step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are available for families with young children. The bistro opens Tuesday to Saturday, closing Mondays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
The tasting menu draws the most praise, reviewers repeatedly describing multi-course dinners paired with wine and walked through course by course by the staff without feeling rushed. Close behind, the steak turns up again and again as a highlight, with one reviewer calling the sirloin sharer a standout and another naming the steak tartare the best they'd tried. Diners also point to specific extras like the beef tartare swapped for a vegetarian option without issue, a cheese course add-on, and cocktails such as a reworked old fashioned and a pink fizz. The wine list, especially Eastern European selections, gets singled out, though one reviewer notes accidentally paying a high price after mistaking a carafe option for a bottle. Several mention the cost as steep but felt it matched the food and presentation. One reviewer flags that the restaurant was expected to close at the end of 2025. Multiple reviewers describe anniversary dinners marked with a handwritten card from staff, and most say they intend to return.

“Very nice dinner and service, even after I accidentally ordered and drank an £87 bottle of Sancerre 🤦♂️ (I didn't realise the third price option on the menu was for a carafe rather than bottle...it was lovely tho). The sirloin sharer was 🤤 …”

“We celebrated our anniversary dinner there and absolutely loved it! A lovely card from the staff touched me deeply. Everything was beautifully presented and the food looked and tasted even better.
