About

Award-winning, chef-owned French restaurant and wine bar - voted Best 'Local' in 2016 Love London Awards

Story

Bistro Aix is an award-winning, chef-owned restaurant that has been serving up quality French cuisine since it was established in 2002. Our lovely dining room features original paintings and murals that provide a charming and ever-interesting backdrop to the white table cloths, fresh flowers, flickering candles and black-aproned wait-staff.
The menu is generous, slightly rustic, wholesome and always fresh .. and the sauces – the highlight of the world’s best home-style cuisine – are done here to perfection. You'll want to save room for dessert - our menu is irresistible.
On our extensive Wine List of over 100 wines, we carry a generous selection of Biodynamic and Organic wines. We feel these wines best complement our robust, flavourful and ‘real’ cuisine. Every day we have at least 12 wines by the glass and carafe that change weekly - so there is an ongoing opportunity to sample these often unusual and exceptional wines.

Aix is a very popular venue for private parties – whether it be a birthday, anniversary, Christmas party, annual club meeting or wedding reception. Our Private Dining Room seats up to 30 guests and is an intimate setting for a private dinner or reception. The main Dining Room seats up to 45 for larger events such as wedding parties See our web site for details and sample menus.

A little history..
Chef/Proprietor, Lynne Marie Sanders, trained in France's top establishments. After completing her professional training course at the Cordon Bleu in Paris she went on to work with super-chef Alain Ducasse (6 Michelin stars) at Louis XV in Monte Carlo and at Le Bastide de Moustiers in the haute Provence. She also worked with Michelin starred chefs Jean-Louis Nomikos, Roland Durand and Jacaues Cagna in Paris, and well-known pastry chef, Gerard Mulot of Patisserie Mulot in Paris.
Like her mentor, Alain Ducasse, she believes in a pure style of cooking with an emphasis on quality ingredients, minimal handling and the pure expression of individual flavours without over- manipulation or over-presentation. See our Youtube channel to watch Lynne's cooking videos.

Reviews
We were greeted at the door with the most coziest sight, it felt very intimate and we loved it!! Their attention to detail and the service was impeccable. Both our servers were very patient, professional and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Which was very appreciated!! Even when I was trying to find a wine to enjoy with my dinner I didn’t feel like I was bothering anybody, I still didn’t find something I quite enjoyed but I settled on a Pale Rose and kept it flowing. We had ordered the following; Seared Scallops, cauliflower purée & white truffle which I felt were a little undercooked nothing that made us sick a day later but to our preference, nonetheless very delicious. We then got the White Prawns, ginger garlic butter, this was so tasty WOW! For our mains, we got the Organic Rump of Welsh Salt-marsh Lamb, rosemary sauce, French beans, gratin dauphinois which was so Delish and flavoursome and we also got the Wild Mushroom and White Truffle Risotto and shaved Parmesan which was delicious too! For dessert we got the Apple Tart Tatin, flambéed with Calvados, with vanilla ice cream, this was so delicious, the pastry was so soft yet crispy and the apples were cooked and seasoned to perfection and the ice cream was paired so perfectly however the Calvados flambé ruined it for us, it was too strong and too much of it, definitely will ask for no alcohol next time! We also wanted to try the Lavender Crème Brûlée however we were there for so long that they ran out for the night haha!! Honestly, this was one of the best meals I’ve had since my trip to Milan. I’ll be glad to visit this place more times in the future! From the service and the food everything was perfect! I just wish there was a wine by the glass that I liked because I most definitely wouldn’t be able to finish a bottle on my own!!
Magnifique Unassuming French restaurant with a dark and mystique ambience, proper French waitresses and stereotypical menu to match. Great quality ingredients, classic dishes done properly and serious wine list to compliment. Lovely spot for a spontaneous date or a celebratory meal Recommended dishesDuck Leg Confit, Escargots
Quiet intimate space where we could have a conversation and also eat. Food was delicious - fish, lamb, wine. Service could have been a bit better- waiters should have known more about the provenance of fish and also the wine. But apart from that a thoroughly enjoyable eveningService: 3/5
Probably the most satisfying meal I've ever eaten anywhere, and I enjoy eating out. The quality was top-notch, as was the service! I'm probably classed as a slightly picky eater now, only a few things I can't stand, and willing to try things I swore I would never eat previously hence the snail and the rabbit. A very nice main, nothing to compare it to, but it didn't feel or taste overdone and the potatoes, mushrooms and mustard sauce were a very nice accompaniment. Especially the potatoes. The duck was a bit tough on the outside, but the inside looked good I only tried a bit of the outside as it wasn't mine and the chips were nice. I didn't get the waiter's name so I'll ask, if he's there, when I go back. The menu made everything sound good, which is rare. I don't eat meat when out unless the welfare standards and quality are assured, which they are here, so I have free reign! I want to try everything at least once, but the baked Alaska made me gush to everyone I speak to about it and want to drag them right there specifically for it, although I also want all of the other food... Choices, choices.
Fantastic food. Fresh ingredients, deep favours and quality produce. However, the table for 2 was way too small. As we had lunch at 3pm, it was deserted. The waiter was efficient, but you felt that you were intruding on his afternoon. Cold, humourless and grudging service. He was too important to serve us. We felt that our presence was a massive inconvenience to them.
We visited this restaurant last evening for dinner and the greeting was ok. We were a family of 3. We were sat at a table and received the menu and after a while the waitress came to take our order. The waiting time for the food was not too long as the place was pretty empty and we called in just after 6pm. The food was nice but nothing too special, the whole dish was drowning in the sauce. The meat was nice but the ratatouille was over cooked and lacking any flavour. We also ordered a bottle of white wine which was served to us without asking if we want to taste it first. Then we received our starters and after our main courses, we were not asked either during or after we finished if everything was ok with the food. The waitress showed a complete lack of interest towards us during the entire evening. We regularly dine at restaurants and we have never experienced such poor customer service. Aside from the complete disinterest the waitress showed us, we were also met with a lack of manners. After we had paid the bill the waitress carelessly tossed our change on the table without even saying "thank you". When we got up to leave and were heading out, no one acknowledged that we were leaving. As my wife was almost at the door she turned around to see if anyone would bother to say "thank you" or at least a "goodbye", another waiter who had not even served us only came to collect the plates said a half hearted "thank you". Overall we are utterly appalled with the way we were treated. The fact that they charge 12.5% service charge is a joke for the service you receive. These waiters clearly have no idea how to treat customers. It probably explains why the restaurant was so empty for the whole evening, it tells you something. After reading this restaurants reviews, we thought this would be a nice place to dine but we will not be retuning, this was our first and last time here. We do not recommend this place unfortunately.

What an amazing experience! The food was finger-licking good especially the gnocchi and scallops! Would highly, highly recommend and would visit again 100%.
This bistrot should be officially declared French territory. We tried two different starters, the smoked duck salad and the speck salad, both of which were spectacular. Our mains, that followed managed to live up to the starters. The steak was cooked to perfection while the venison loin was a firework of a complex combination of flavours. Finally, the raspberry crème brûlée was the perfect ending to our lovely meal. A twist to a classic that I never knew I needed in my life.
I chose the 3 courses for £29 - there was only 1 option per course, but things I would have chosen anyway. Starter- goats cheese soufflé Main - sea bass and potato Dessert - cream and fruit flaky pastry The staff were attentive and great, and atmosphere was good and the company amazing!
Food was on average fine - some bits better than others. I preferred the starters aperitif platter & scallops to the mains rib eye au poivre & aubergine schnitzel. The creme Brulee was as good as any other I've eaten. It may be my tastes aren't sophisticated enough for the place. The wine was good though. I arrived a little earlier than my friend and it took a little time to be offered a drink. But otherwise the service was good.
