Bijou is the perfect place for any all celebrations so if you are thinking of celebrating that birthday, christening, wedding or you just want a gang please give us a call to discuss options,
Just a couple of things to note:
All tables are booked for 1 hour and 45 minutes. After your allotted time we will require the table back. We do not take bookings for drinks only.
If you book an outdoor table your table will be outdoor unless, on the off chance, we have space inside at your chosen time.

We had a lovely evening really enjoyed the food. Liked that the menu was limited. Some of the dishes we initially ordered were not available and the staff were very apologetic but we able to order others instead. At the end of the meal we were given complimentary desserts which were delicious. Wine list very good also and they had a good selection of wines by the glass. Really liked everything about the restaurant and will definitely go back.
