Join us for a unique, intimate, stylish and lively time day or night.
We offer lunch/brunch and dinner Wednesday through to Sunday.
Great cocktails, superb wines, delicious food, stylish ambience, and smiling staff what more could you want.
Entirely hidden from the street, Bijou has an upstairs heated terrace, sheltered and with heaters. So joins us for brilliant outdoor dinning also.
Bijou is the perfect place for any all celebrations so if you are thinking of celebrating that birthday, christening, wedding or you just want a gang please give us a call to discuss options,
Just a couple of things to note:
All tables are booked for 1 hour and 45 minutes. After your allotted time we will require the table back. We do not take bookings for drinks only.
If you book an outdoor table your table will be outdoor unless, on the off chance, we have space inside at your chosen time.

    If you want a special dining experience, try to get a table upstairs in Bijou. Downstairs is perfect for a casual meal, but we had a lovely experience upstairs. It felt very special and ideal for my wife's birthday. The service was warm, friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and the whole experience was very enjoyable. Thank you Bijou.

    Always excellent service and fantastic food. The staff are consistently knowledgable re coeliac disease and patient in going through the menu and pointing out gluten free options (not marked on the menu). Nice wine menu too! My only suggestion would be for more gluten free dessert options.

    Soup not hot enough. Main course ( for 2 people) barely tepid when it first arrived and had to be returned. Not much better when returned. Coffees afterwards ‘on the house’ in lieu.
