  Harrogate’s branch of Bistro Pierre is set on the second floor above the Sukhothai restaurant, and from the sizeable bar to the prints and mirrors that adorn the walls; the whole restaurant has a sophisticated comfortable feel, a perfect romantic venue. There are tables to suit all sizes of party, with enough space between them so that you don’t feel hemmed in. We always prefer to dine on the early side, so we chose their pre-theatre menu for 14.95 apiece for two courses, less choice than the main menu, but still enough variety. We shared a roasted garlic bulb to start, with fresh bread, balsamic vinegar and olive oil which was a great start, flavoursome, but not a huge dish, enough to share for a starter though. Mains wise, I always struggle to make a choice other than the steak, Bistro Pierre do great steaks! I had the steak fritte, with fries and a dressed salad, fantastic; the peppercorn sauce complimented it perfectly, as did the mushrooms I had as a side order. My wife had the beef bourguignon, with the vegetable accompaniments of broccoli, green beans and red cabbage, with potato gratin. A huge portion, full of flavour; too often beef bourguignon can be on the salty side, this was just right.After the mammoth mains we had, we opted to choose for the lighter options for dessert, my wife went for the lemon tart, with a caramelised sugar top and raspberry sorbet. I struggled as always with my choice, but ultimately went for the Gateau au Miel, a sticky honey pudding with double ginger ice cream, fantastically light and the ginger ice cream cut through the sweetness of the honey perfectly. All in all, a great meal, in wonderful surroundings.

  GREAT restaurant, especially for gluten-free diners!. I was visiting Harrogate recently and went to Le Bistrot Pierre one night because I had heard they had an excellent gluten-free menu. I was not disappointed. The atmosphere was wonderful, the service attentive and friendly, and the food was FABULOUS! I had gluten-free bread with roasted garlic, fried calamari (something I almost never get to eat any more), and chicken breast with a lemon and wine sauce, pancetta, and green onions. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! This restaurant made a huge effort to develop an extensive gluten-free menu with the local Celiac organization, and it definitely paid off. If you are in Harrogate, you must try Le Bistrot Pierre!
