Sad to see The Bistro go. Mixed reviews from the Community but we always found the food and service very good Guess we will be going to Paysanne for good French food from now on. Thank you for some great food and a different dining experience in Caernarfon.

This restaurant looks inviting from the outside, inside the illusion changes as you are introduced to the plastic french atmosphere and the food. Although the service is very french in as far as it is slow and chaotic The whole experience is very cheap, cheap paper napkins, glasses, no table cloths we ended up lighting our own candle on the...
