Shrimp Bistro — Restaurant in Bydgoszcz

Boyfriend told me that Shrimp Bistro was on Trip Advisor's top 10 list in Bydgoszcz so we had to try. While tiny, the interior is cute and I appreciated the chill environment. Nothing super fancy here; what you see is what you get and I dig it. 'Cause I dig shrimp. Ordered a 5 piece shrimp tempura plate as an app and was not disappointed. Tempura was super light and crispy. Shrimp was tender and juicy. Hello, sweet potato fries? Amazing! Well seasoned, sweet, salty, crunchy, delicious. The corn piece could have been bigger, warmer, and come with some plain butter (but that's just the American in me). Homemade garlic butter complimented the baguette well. Loved the garlic aioli sauce, could have done with a lot more of that. My boyfriend got the bacon shrimp burger and miraculously let me have a bite. I'm glad I took a big one 'cause ohemgee, who would have thought that bacon and fried shrimp would pair well together? It does, and the kimchi is such a delightful bonus. Finally, we shared the white wine shrimp for a main dish. I was sopping up pieces of bread in that sauce with a quickness. I could low key drink it out of the pan it was so good. The shrimp was very well cooked. Nevermind that we both reeked of garlic for the rest of the night, but that's the price you have to pay people. Also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff who spoke English and offered us menus in English as well.

A few suggestions from a humble international foodie: I would add a mix of tempura and grilled shrimp as an appetizer so people can get the best of both worlds. I would add a classic shrimp alfredo as there are several dishes with red sauces but did not see any with a cream sauce. I think cornbread (with butter and/or honey) would do really well here. And, I would also add a few options for dessert (breading pudding for example).

All in all, great tasting food and service. Will...

Absolutely gorgeous! If you want to try excellent shrimps in Poland - visit Bydgoszcz and Shrimp Bistro :) Our meal was freshy and really delicious. We tried tempura shrimps and it was delicious. The portion was very big.. The staff is very nice and helphul. The atmosphere of this place is wonderful. In my opinion the prices are adequate to the quality. It is not cheap, but it is worth to try it, we only live once! Thank you...

Nigdzie na świecie, Takiej Jatki nie znajdziecie! Eksplozja smaków z menu każdego powali, Czy to drobną niewiastę, czy też tęgich drwali. Shrimp Bistro przecie z tego słynie, Że każdemu na kubki smakowe wpłynie. Zupa Tajska zanim się jej skosztuje, Swym aromatem Twe nozdrza poturbuje. A gdy się już łyżkę do ust włoży, Jak zawodowy bokser na lopatki Cię rozłoży. Nim się pozbierasz to w jednej chwili, Na ring wjeżdża Mango-Chili!. I tutaj nie masz co liczyć na odrobinę wytchnienia, Z wielkim kunsztem dobierze Ci się do podniebienia! Porwie Cię w kulinarne tango, Wszak przecie to jest Mango! Na tym nie koniec, nie zwalniamy w ogóle, Następne w kolejce czeka przepyszne Mule. I tym razem możesz mi wierzyć, Przyjdzie Ci się z tym aromatem i smakiem zmierzyć. Bo ekipa w kuchni zrobi wszystko, By uszczęśliwić Twe głodne brzuszysko. A gdyby przypadkiem było Ci malo, Nie krępuj się i przeglądaj dalej menu śmiało! Są tam Kalmary, Krewetki w tempurze, Krewetki z chiorizo małe i duże. I każdy, kto owoce morza kocha, Wychodząc z tej Jatki ukradkiem szlocha. Nie dlatego, że wielki rachunek uiścił, Tylko, że wiecej z tych pyszności nie zmieścił. Czy jesteś w okolicy, czy też na urlopie, Do Shrimp Bistro bez zastanowienia wal chłopie! Zabierz kobietę Swą dla niepoznaki, Przecież owoce morza to...
