Pascal Bistro - French Restaurant — Restaurant in London

Decent find despite my initial reservations that any establishment with the word 'bistro' in it would struggle to serve a decent full English breakfast. Overall I'm happy to report that I've been proved wrong, although with a couple of caveats. Firstly, what is this policy that restaurants now seem to adopt when serving breakfast where you're either charged for swapping items or as, in the case here, at least according to the menu, you are not permitted to swap at all.

As I have an intolerance to eggs I was concerned that I would not be able to exchange them for another item. Once I mentioned this to the waiter however I was permitted to exchange them for a portion of bubble and squeak, although I have to report it did not appear to resemble the dish that I remembered from childhood, it certainly didn't appear to have been fried, with the appearance and texture of mashed potato with some vegetables mixed in.

Overall however the quality of the food was more than decent and well worth the £8.50 asking price, although I did feel slightly cheated when I discovered this did not include a cup of tea which was an additional £2, bringing the total bill to £10.50, still decent but not quite the bargain it might have been.

Would I return?, yes, although of slight concern was the fact that when we arrived at 10:30, one would assume a fairly busy breakfast time, we were the sole diners.

If like me you tend to judge establishments by how busy they are, this is something you may wish to take into account.

Obviously I can only comment on how busy it was when we arrived and ate there, it may well be a different story at other times of...

My partner and I went to this restaurant while staying in Sidcup and expected a lot due to all of the glowing reviews; however, were disappointed. I have to say that the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, which is really the reason for the three stars.The food wasn't bad, but, it wasn't great, just meh. I had the Chicken Basquez, which was quite tasteless and frankly could have made something better and cheaper at home. I just ate the chicken really for the protein, not the taste. Chicken Basquez should be braised with bone in chicken and white wine, this was a boneless piece of chicken that was tough, and the broth/sauce could not have been cooked for long, as there was no flavor. My partner had the special, starter mussels in white wine sauce and the duck with orange sauce. His meal was better than mine; however, was still just basic, not much flavor. I would also like to add that the restaurant's website is sorely in need of updating. The online menu is not accurate and the prices indicated are half of what the actual restaurant menu shows. This restaurant should either update their website or remove the menu altogether as it is incredibly misleading. The restaurant was quite busy and perhaps we just ordered the wrong things, but I wanted to write this review as a sort of awareness, which I don't ususally do, but if someone is going out to spend their hard earned money somewhere, you want it to...

First time at this restaurant a meal with 2 other friends. From the minute we arrived we were rushed into choosing our meal with the owner saying to hurry up the cook wants to go home! Throughout the meal it felt as if staff were waiting on you to finish they were ushering people out and getting their coats as if they all wanted to all go home. Only advantage was you could take your own alcohol & no corkage fee. Also found desserts quite expensive 3 for £23. Then had to query the bill as wrong items had been put on our bill. We finally left half hour before closing time as we felt they were waiting for us to leave so did not even have time to finish our wine which we took and finished at home. Unfortunately I would not be returning to this restaurant & neither would my friends. Food was mediocre my sauce on the chicken was very bitter, very...
