Chez Elles Bistroquet

"Very cozy French restaurant on legendary brick lane. I believe run by two French ladies. It’s best do a reservation. The entire place has a very mainland European vibe. Music and food were amazing. It’s set in a very trendy area, right behind Spittalfield market as well as right below Shoreditch. So plenty of places for a drink afterwards. I’ll definitely be back."

"Friendly service, nice interior. The food is good but not amazing."

"The nice little French place, with a pure Paris atmosphere !!! Very good food, and very peoples in there.. very good welcome… highly recommended !"

"I really loved the food! It tasted super authentic and homemade, especially the fries and the mayo DELICIOUS! The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because we didn’t get any bread which usually comes for free in French restaurants and the duck confit lacked a bit of side dishes… I thought it came with gratin dauphinois but it was more a spoon of mash potato. Besides that the cheese soufflé was DIVINE, I absolutely recommend it! The beef was cooked to perfection and came with the delicious fries! And finally, the crème brûlée with a hint of pistachio was creamy and light, don’t forget to order that one!"

"Service is great and everyone was so iconically French which added to the superb atmosphere in the restaurant. Frog legs, aubergine and especially the creme brulee were good but the tartare was pretty bad (just good enough to be edible) and the duck a little mediocre. The price of the dishes is overall quite hefty too given the portions. The complimentary bread was acceptable but a very far cry from the bread I had in France, I get it we are not there but you can find much better bread in the UK and I expected a little better from a French restaurant. Overall is a nice place to visit with decent food. Definitely far better than the horrific Indian restaurants on that street, but not spectacular either."
