Café le Bistrot

The location is really superb! It is like in a movie! Big plus that it is open till 00:00. But the food was not tasty at all. I ordered fish with peas purée and sweet pancakes with strawberry. Fish was very greasy and almost no spices, and puree was tasting like raw flour…when I asked to add some salad with vegetables without onion (but any kind of vegetables including cucumbers etc) I got a strange plate of peas and carrot with no spices. Pancakes were tasteless too, only strawberries were fine lol. The waitress with black hair (Bushere / Bu) was the only one serving me (she seems to be the only one working here normally) other waiters (around 3 of them) were ignoring me even when I looked at them. I was waiting for any waiter to come for 20 min to take my order… and before I was not given any menu, u had to ask for it. Moreover, another waitress (black woman) was super unpleasant with her behavior, the way how she brought me glass of water and took my dishes was very disrespectful. Additionally, normally you shouldn’t wait in the restaurant too long for waiter to come and ask if you need anything else / or you want to pay. Here I waited forever, no one really came back to me to check. Restaurant doesn’t have English menu. The smell inside the restaurant is not good - a strong smell of detergent like bleach (on tables). I hope this place will reconsider the staff and will make it a good spot for visitors not only because of the location. I expected tasty food how it should be and standard service but instead I got neither of this. Sad.

I really wanted to like this place, as a foodie and former server! I was with 3 local friends and they were embarrassed too. The server would not allow us to sit outside because there were a few drops of rain, and she was unwelcoming, on the border of rude (maybe she was having a bad day). I used Google translate for the menu, my friends speak Catalan, and we ordered the cheese plate and pizzas. The cheese plate was just fine, enough for 4 people to share. The ‘pizza’ was more like cheese bread you make when you’re 8 years old, or when you get home drunk from the bar, with just toast, cheese and a few toppings. The wine was delicious. This place has the location and atmosphere going for it, and hopefully in the future there will be more love in the food.

At 22 Euros the 3 course lunch ( plus a glass of wine) is hard to beat... Especially given the number of dishes you can chose from with each course... We were able to get a table at 2:30 and even then the place was still packed with locals who know a good thing. My wife's excellent grilled steak ( 3 Euros extra ) took top prize. She also liked the onion" souffle" . My baked cod was pretty good but the cheese cake was delicious. We paid another supplement of 5 Euros for a whole bottle of the house wine. This is an excellent opportunity to try homestyle Catalan cooking. Reservations highly recommended... 3 generous courses and a bottle of wine for 2 of came to Euro 50. That's pretty good in this day and age , especially for a good meal.

Lunch stop recommended by our Free Girona Walking Tour guide and we loved it here. We had a table by the window where we could see the stairs to the church. Our lunch order, which was served quickly, included beer roasted pork cheek which was tender, flavourful and delicious, and the grilled entrecote which was alright. Portions were good for us. We love the wine recommended by the staff and even though they spoke little English, they tried their best to provide good service.

This place came highly recommended. Food is very competent and service is decent. We each had to order a set and seating on the terrace was not available, which might have been a more of a highlight. All in all no regrets eating here. Great value for money.

We had lunch at this place and were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is very cozy, and although the outside terrace, which is usually picturesque, wasn't available at that time, we were comfortably seated inside. Opting for the daily menu turned out to be an excellent choice. The dishes were exceptional: the pumpkin soup was velvety and delicious, and the grilled meat was simply amazing. For dessert, I ordered cheese with honey, and to my delight, it tasted exactly like the Russian "творог с медом." Overall, it was a great experience!

The place could easily be 5star if they fix their management. This is so unfortunate, they have the perfect location, delicious food, great atmosphere but the management side really messes it up. If you’re looking to visit, be extremely patient with the time it takes to get a table or be extremely close to the staff And keep asking them. Honestly the food was so great, menu was also explained and everything came on a good time. Please guys fix your organizing it’s such a shame!

Awful experience compared to previous expectations. We went to the restaurant based on a recommendation. Although they haven’t recorded our booking we were lucky enough to get a free spot (13:45h). The place is not nice or bad, it doesn’t have any atmosphere. Staff is not nice or bad, they are not service oriented based on my own experience. We got a 25€ menu which included first and second plate, drink and dessert. Nothing special on the food, just average. Not well presented, not super tasty. House wine limited to one single region, not my taste either (Costers del Segre). Since they were sooo slow we didn’t have desserts. We waited for 25min for the desserts and they never came, so we decided to stand and leave after paying the check and telling them about our experience (no answer or complicity at all). Extra note: there are only 2 toilets for the entire restaurant, and at that time they were already super dirty and smelly. All in all, not a place I would recommend to anyone.
