    Super romantic date spot. Can't speak to the authenticity of the French cuisine but all the food we had was comforting and delicious. Nice Côte du Rhone. Pistou dessert is weird and wonderful.

    Great atmosphere. Amazing lunch menu with great price. It's a little expensive for dinner but totally worth it. Service is fast and friendly

    Great menu, great setting. The Pork Belly and Dauphinoise Potatoes are a must. If space permits also check out the Crème Brûlée.

    Yesterday's evening desserts after spending the whole day in the library. 😋 Fig, honey and almond tart and special dessert - The Pistou! They are just cosmic 😍🌌

    Really good evening at Cafe Pistou, we went for mainly small plates - ratatouille, baked tomatoes, croquettes and burrata were great. Lamb cutlets nothing spesh. Nice setting and friendly staff.

    Been here 10+ times
    Food is not only amazing but the inspiration from the south of France is actually really nice. Check out the ratatouille and the lamb cutlets !

    The ravioli with pumpkin, almond and chorizo were amazing. Nice place. Not cheap though.

    Order a few small plates, like tapas. The hotel chocolate fondant and caramel mousse dessert is divine!

    Lovely cod and lamb, but be sure to leave space for a desert!

    Such a cute and hip cafe. Tea and pastries served in the early morning.

    Start off with a couple of French negronis before sharing endless little small plates until you're full.

    Pretty disappointing. Tartes are not tartes, brandade is tasteless, it is supposed to be French but...probably less French than Café Rouge. But staff is nice and Exmouth market is Exmouth Market.

    This place looks lovely, but unfortunately our 45 minute wait for the bread appetiser, and delayed mains left a sour taste. Service was not professional or apologetic. I won't be back.

    Food isn't bad (though pricey) but service is extremely slow and not attentive at all.
