About Bistro Francais Hyde Park

Skip the long-haul flight to Paris—King William Road has real-deal cuisine bourgeoise dialed in. Bistro Francais cuts straight to classic French comfort without modern fuss. Regulars point newcomers toward the piping-hot French onion soup and melting beef cheeks. Tables fill for garlic escargots, Dijon pork belly, and steak frites ordered with a direct sightline into the open kitchen. Couples linger over warm baguettes and personalized dessert plates, while groups uncork special BYO bottles or claim undercover outdoor tables along the street. Dinner finishes with a spoon cracking through the torched sugar crust of a crème brûlée.

  • Classic French Comfort: Traditional staples lead the charge, from beef bourguignon and garlicky escargots to Dijon pork belly and crusty baguettes.
  • Romantic Occasions: An intimate dining room, attentive service, and personalized touches make it a reliable choice for anniversaries and date nights.
  • Signature Desserts: Table-stealing sweets, headlined by a classic crème brûlée finished with a torched, brittle sugar crust.

    Generous portions of classic bistro dishes allow parties to share rich, traditional French starters and hearty mains comfortably.

    All absolutely delicious but the stand outs for me were the chicken liver parfait, boeuf bourguignon and steak frites.

    The highlight was the Affogato, as someone who is a borderline dangerous caffeine addict , never have I had a coffee so rich in flavour that it ascended to the level of the nectar of the gods.
