Not entirely sure about this place. Some reviews suggest it’s an unmitigated disaster but that that wasn’t our recent experience. We love French food and have fond memories of holidays in France with simple, beautifully cooked, often regional, cuisine. So …off to the Corner Bistrot.It was a tale of two dinners ….. Snails were great, goats cheese salad basically lettuce with a hunt the cheese feature – disappointing My dining partner loved steak in pepper sauce (thinner than the Aussie version but still tasty) and served by charming wait staff with French accent made up for any down notes. Conversely my meat dish was a tad ordinary and fatty. Potato Gratin was a bit dry and beans nice but not over generous .. and over priced.Wine list fine but expensive – a little too expensive for the rest of the experience.Overall I thought it was expensive and not good value for money – especially when compared with other options in the same street or nearby. Adelaide is a competitive dining market with great top end experiences available …. it’s these guys in the middle who will struggle to persuade diners to w with the $$$
Recently dined there for the second time, because lunch there in 2011 had been impressive. However, disappointed and embarrassed. The menu was limited, my date was served on 70’s Kmart crockery, which we both looked out and burst out laughing. The decor is bad and the service was poor. I wouldn’t recommend it.
after seeing some of the reviews on here I was a bit worried to come as we were invited by my fianc’s parents but I was totally shocked. The food is very good (I was speaking to the waiter and apparently they have acquired a gun new chef). Extensive French wine list. will be returning !
Reading some of the reviews, I was a little hesitant to go there, but so glad that I did. My wife and I had a lovely evening and look forward to going back. The service was great. Very friendly and welcoming. It’s not fast, but not slow either and we found it refreshing not to be rushed through our meal so that the restaurant can re-use the table. The food was also very good. The price was fair and reasonable. Not cheap, but certainly not expensive either. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and will most definitely return.
Exceptionally slow service and average quality food. We arrived for dinner at 7.15 pm, and didn’t leave until 11pm. Was certainly not desirable dining time! Food was nice, but average at best, steak was fatty and not thick like traditional porterhouse – looking more like a fatty rump steak than the price paid. Service friendly but exceptionally slow, and no water available upon request. Escargot’s overcooked and chewy… very disappointing.
Corner Bistrot Adelaide. Not the best.02 Apr, 2015Corner bistrot. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone as there are better places further up on Leigh st
Terrible restaurant. Ridiculously slow service (>2hr wait), and for the price you’d expect half decent food. Apparently not. I reckon your average pub down the road would serve better steak than this. It was the only place that was empty on the street on a Saturday night, and now I know why. $50pp for absolute rubbish. Don’t even think about coming here.
