    A brilliant find close to Borough Market but far removed from the hustle and bustle. A great place to relax. It'll be even better in the summer

    Have been to the actual venue many times over years and as it has been in various guises. Boro Bistro is perfect for small after work catch-ups without any hustle / bustle but can also cater for larger groups at weekends etc - not sure if there's still a resident DJ at the weekends but the overall vibe is pretty cool, retro paraphernalia and some interesting art-installations dotted around - if you've been, you'll know exactly what these are! Food / drink / service and very attentive, no pushy sell-on for higher priced wines or the need to over order dishes - perfect for our needs and will look forward to a return visit, hopefully in the warmer months when we can sit outside! Thanks for a lovely evening BB 🫶

    Food was amazing but the service wasn’t . We were a group of 4 and our foods came out from the kitchen 10-15 min apart. For one of us we had to ask when will it be out , as I think they forgot about it

    Quirky restaurant, tucked away near London Bridge station and just behind Southwark Cathedral. Such a fun place. Great music, delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend.

    I have been going to Boro Bistro regularly for the past 10 years, since my office is nearby, and it's one of my favourite spots in London. The atmosphere is warm and cosy, especially the outdoors. There is outdoor heating therefore even when it's cold you can still enjoy a pleasant evening, and they also provide blankets. The service was excellent as always, everyone friendly and helpful. Great drink and food (I just hope they would bring back the artichokes hummus in the menu, it was spectacular!) Totally recommended for any type of occasions with friends and colleagues.

    Overall an ok experience, the decor and ambiance is great. Few things that let it down. One of our mains didn’t arrive and we were told it had been missed which is annoying as the lady read the order back to us, we didn’t have time to wait for it to be done as we had a concert. Mains came out and the table was full of empty starter plates and the waiter tried to squeeze the new food on the table when really he should have stopped, cleared the table or asked someone else to and then gave us the rest of the food. A drinks order was also missed and we had to ask again. So not the end of the world but not the service you’d expect

    9 of us eating. Service slow. Supposedly table service but I went to the bar twice to get attention. Incorrect drinks served. Shame really. Nice ambience but unlikely to return with a group again
