Bistro 1

About Bistro 1

Not far from Leicester Square and Shaftesbury Avenue, the Frith Street location of this restaurant is handy for pre-theatre, post-movie meals. For hearty Mediterranean food and a no-nonsense, unpretentious vibe, Bistro1 is also a fun venue for informal lunches, office parties and lively nights out with groups of friends. The dining room is colourful and the restaurant's service is super-friendly, but Bistro1's menu itself is the main attraction, crammed with old-fashioned favourites such as fish and chips, bangers and mash and chargrilled sardines. We love the pan-fried tuna steak with sautéed cherry tomatoes, garlic sauce and rice; the Mediterranean-style meat Moussaka with rice and salad; and the sticky and delicious homemade banoffee pie.
