Been going here since it opened and always felt it well priced, imaginative food and good ingredients. Last night it could only claim to be one of the three. The flavour of the scallops in my starter was killed stone dead by the spicyness of...the XO sauce which was good in itself, but the scallops belonged nowhere near it. My main of fish cakes and prawns was a disaster due to the poor quality of the ingredients. My hake a grey colour and mushy, not the firm white glistening piece of fish I would expect for a dish. The prawns also soft and mushy, clearly not fresh. The fish cakes were in fact potato croquettes fish in these was nonexistent. My dining partners dish of lamb was dry and as a s...

Can’t believe we haven’t tried this place sooner. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were both friendly and attentive. We had a range of dishes and a bottle of wine m. We everyone was delighted with their food. I had...the two courses for I had the kimchi veggie rolls and others had the soup and the crispy beef. For mains I had the delicious cauliflower Dahl, two had the steak and one had the hake and goan curry. We liked the atmosphere so much that we all had coffee to finish. for four of us.
my partner and I visited until then este and as always we were not disappointed. the service is top notch,Sarah is a wonderful host. my goat cheese and Beetroot starter was beautiful and the new addition of picked grapes simply increases it to new heights. my partner said she was the best she had ever tasted. my way to "the main number of hek and Goan curry was delicious and my partner had the burger that she had overwühlt. all washed with a very nice house red, we have very full and very happy!
From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everything about this restaurant was fantastic. The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, the menu was concise to ensure top quality but still had plenty of options, and the food was delicious. The service was top-notch, with efficient, professional, and friendly staff. We highly recommend trying the suspension shock starter and the beet risotto. We will definitely be returning soon.

My wife and myself have just enjoyed a gorgeous meal in Bistro Este. Sarah always welcomes her customers so you feel part of the family. I had the venison Scotch egg starter and my wife had the goats cheese and beetroot. She did say that...she could have eaten a bag of the shallot bhajis! I then had suckling pig for my main course and she had the roast cauliflower which she said was amazing. Dessert was not going to happen but maybe next time.
Food fine although main portions on the small side. Over minute wait between stater and main course. When queried delay was told by a member of staff very rudely and condescendingly all our food is cooked from fresh. No apology for delay in mains...just rude. Won’t be back
