  “Lovely, quirky little place just outside of Borough Market. Found ourselves needing a break from walking around the market and very much enjoyed our time there. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. The outdoor area is a nice little sun trap to relax in but provides lots of shaded areas too. Although we didn't get the chance to try the food, everything we saw being served looked amazing. After a couple of sensational cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff, we were ready to go back into the market.”

  “This is a fantastic place to have drinks with friends on a sunny day. The outdoor seating is a perfect sunny spot to relax, and the excellent service makes the experience even better as the staff are attentive and welcoming. Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh, making it a spot I highly recommend.”

  “We stumbled upon this cute bistro while walking along the Thames and what a great find! It was very busy but we managed to secure a seat in the corner in a nice private section. The staff were very friendly and lovely even despite having to work in the extreme heat! We had the beef burger, spinach pancakes, crab croquettes & lamb meatballs and they were all divine. It turned out an amazing unplanned dinner. Would definitely go again”

  “A thoroughly average, mildly disappointing experience. I had booked a table expecting some level of consideration, yet we were seated indoors on an exceptionally hot day. One does begin to wonder what the purpose of a reservation is if it does not, in practice, reserve anything in particular. The service followed a similar pattern of inconsistency. The waiter appeared unfamiliar with the wine list and was unable to offer any meaningful guidance, which made decision-making more of a guessing game than a curated experience. To complete the picture, the door staff (the security guy) seemed to be operating under the impression that firmness is a substitute for professionalism (you are not a National hero). A more composed and courteous approach would have gone a long way, especially when dealing with guests who were simply waiting to be seated. The absence of even a basic apology did not go unnoticed. I will not dwell on the lack of air conditioning or the rather enthusiastic volume of the music indoors—these feel almost secondary at this point. Overall, a very “touristic” standard experience: present, functional, and promptly forgettable”

  “Food was great! We got the charcuterie board, prawns and Paredon peppers which was yum! Chris was the best and brought us lots of extra pickles and bread when we asked for which was v much appreciated! Chris you Rock!”

  “Had a lovely meal at Boro Bistro! The seafood cassoulet was divine. Impeccable service from the staff: Hanan, Dimitri, Kris, Mel Cherry and Fin took excellent care of me. Might even come back tomorrow!”

  “Left here hungry. Tiny portions. Ordered three different mains each. Once we had ordered, there was a wait and each of the mains were coming out 20 minutes apart 🫣 Really let down but also me and my family find it hilarious that my Dad was served a tiny, single chunk of beef as his main (£1.00 coin for reference 🤣) 100% do not recommend Boro Bistro if you're hungry.”

  “Came here for dinner with my boyfriend on Valentine’s day and we both really enjoyed the food and service. We didn’t have a booking but the waitress was able to accomodate us outside and gave us blankets to keep us warm. We both enjoyed our mains and starters and food came quickly despite them being busy. We stumbled across this restaurant by chance but would both happily return as it was so tasty!”

  “Excellent drinks, food and vibes. This is my fifth time visiting and each time has been fabulous. Special shoutout to: Yuri, Nabil, Teddy and George for making my time special and memorable. Highlights: truffle fries and flat white (perfectly made btw)”

  “We stumbled across Boro Bistro after visiting Borough Market and it was a cute little find. There’s lots of seating outside, but since it was chilly we sat inside. The inside is pretty small with dim lighting, very cozy and relaxed. Our server was Italian and he was so sweet. We ordered the snails and they were actually pretty good. I got the beef bavette with pepper sauce and while the sauce was tasty, the meat was very chewy. The chicken schnitzel was okay too. The wine and the spicy margarita were both really good though. Overall, a nice spot to unwind after the market with good drinks and a cozy atmosphere.”
