The food in this lovely little restaurant is simply brilliant: my terrine was incredibly tasty, the slow-cooked pork loin just sublime and my partner’s trout reportedly excellent, as was her brioche sweet. Wonderfully friendly proprietor makes one feel really at home. So wrapped up I forgot to take photos but we will definitely be visiting again, so I’ll update this post then.If you want really excellent food I could not recommend this restaurant more highly. Thanks.Parking: Large car park in Whortley Road, just behind the restaurant and parallel with the main Lymington road. Very cheap at £1.30 for three hours

My wife and I went for a Valentines meal and it was the perfect night. The staff were friendly and helped create a wonderfully warm atmosphere. But, nothing can beat the quality of the food. I had the scallop and pork belly starter. A ribeye steak for mains and a Creme brûlée for dessert. Everything was perfect. The price was less than I expected also. Go try it for yourself.

Have often driven past and wondered what this place would be like. It's small so booking is necessary. The menu has a good selection and there are a few specials too. Food was amazing. Beautiful presentation, delicious dishes. We cleared our plates on all 3 courses. Service was friendly and attentive. The only negative was that our table by the door was a bit draughty on a January night. I will definitely be returning. I'm a bit reluctant to review as this place is so good, I don't want to share it.

Stunning. Simply stunning. Small, busy and quaint. Very glad to have had a Friday night table. We both opted for the pork, cooked wonderfully. Dessert was superb, the panna cotta was light, with a strong hit of star anise in the sorbet, and the pain perdu was so light even for a brioche. Everything was excellent.
Wow! The food and service was amazing. I will often look at a menu and will change it by swapping items or mixing dishes together. Not here. The menu was perfect, fresh, tasty food which was not trying to be anything other than it was. Beautifully presented and tasty and excellent value. My first time but will not be my last. Thank you!

Excellently cooked and wonderfully presented food. Relaxed atmosphere and a very amiable host. Highly recommended - especially the cheese soufflé. Our second visit following a family birthday meal for 11 back in the summer. We’ll be back!

excellent sunday lunch at this small French bistro. Perfectly cooked beef and pork. Lovely service and delicious passion fruit baked Alaska. If this was our local we would be there all the time. A real treasure

I went for a belated Birthday lunch with a friend who had recommended Bistro my way. We were able to have lunch from the festive menu. The best Christmas lunch I’ve ever tasted! So good that I keep dreaming about the turkey and roast potatoes which were delicious and the sauce was fantastic. Wonderful attention from the French waiter . A touch of France in Highcliffe. Parfait! Will definitely be returning.

We dined here last week on two nights, the food was divine the presentation excellent, and the staff fantastic. Would reccomend this for anyone who loves great food. As a retired chef who was classically trained in the 70s this is an unmissable Bistro thank you again ? ?
