About The Bistro
Tucked away on Cooper Road in Kisementi, The Bistro has long been a dependable anchor for a relaxed afternoon catch-up or an easy evening drink. The space strikes a nice balance between vintage charm and casual comfort, featuring cozy indoor-outdoor seating with warm lighting that sets a welcoming mood for date nights or group dinners alike. It is the kind of spot where parking is rarely a headache, letting you settle easily into the unhurried rhythm of the evening.
The menu keeps things approachable with a wide selection that covers everything from hearty plates of roasted chicken with fries to vegetarian-friendly bites and satisfying tapas. While opinions on the food can vary, the drinks reliably hit the mark, especially the tropical cocktails garnished with little umbrellas that practically beg to be ordered when you are winding down after a long week. Paired with friendly service and occasional live music filtering through the evening air, it is a comfortable neighbourhood fixture worth keeping in your rotation.

Not what I was expecting after all the online hype. But I must say it’s a good place for a quick meetup with friends and family. The food wasn’t as great, but also not bad. Might have great interior background for photos, giving vintage vibes. The interior designer did put in some good work. Oh and the music, tooop👏

I used to frequent the bistro almost 10years ago. Two weeks ago I thought to my husband and daughter there cause I used to enjoy their carbonara pasta. Got there the atmosphere was okay, the place is quiet hot inside. We got our starters; chicken tortillas and they were yummy probably the only good thing we ate. My daughter's chicken and chips was nothing to ride home about, the chicken tasted like it kept being refried. My husbands whole fish turned out to be just fish fillet, his portion of fries and my daughter's where the same 😅 Then I ordered carbonara with bacon i was given chicken carbonara asked them to change it. It tasted nothing like a carbonara. I found a cockroach in my coffee latte. The manager came and carried it away with no apology whatsoever. The latte still found its way on my bill till i reminded them of what I found. It was a horrible experience The standards have really dropped I don't know why...

A very pleasant place. Nice atmosphere and decor. Live music is played in the evenings. Parking is usually not a problem. Pleasant service. The food is delicious but for me could be more spicy.
