Venison was very small and disappointing Baba au rhum was tasteless - forget it. Generally not on the right side of value for money

The service team were warm and welcoming. The menu was wide ranging, with each course well prepared, presented and full of flavour. A thoroughly enjoyable dining experience, and good all round value. I shall definitely return in the near future.

The food was great (the Rhum Baba, which was underwhelming), service was spotless, all in all, a fantastic experience.

I visited Galvin Bistrot & Bar for Sunday Lunch, and while I’d hoped for a relaxing meal, there were a few bumps along the way. The Sunday menu offered in the restaurant seemed to differ from the options advertised online, with a less fancy selection of meat. Service was slow, and although the starter was delicious, my main arrived cold, and reheating left it unevenly warmed. The staff were clearly under pressure and did their best to make amends, forfeiting the bill and apologizing for the experience. While one server’s comforting gestures (touching my shoulder and holding my hand) felt overly familiar, their genuine effort to smooth things over was appreciated. I hope my experience was a one-off, as Galvin Bistrot has potential for a great dining experience on a good day.

We really liked this place. The service was friendly but not overly so. We enjoyed the foodwhich was done as per our requests and was excellent quality. We came for lunch and felt very relaxed and unhurried ib Gavin's agreeable atmosphere

Superb lunch with great food and reasonable portions and good wine options during a time when many restaurants are losing the plot. A bustling energy, with all types of clients, focused on enjoying themselves-- this venue is not uptight nor pretentious, and generally warm and comfortable. Staff were professional and welcoming. Volume levels enabled normal comversation.

We went for the set menu and 3 course option for £28. It was good but you do have to ask for it - it’s not brought over automatically. Cheapest bottle of wine is £35. But the beef and mash was delicious and the Pannacotta.

Lovely lunch and setting. Busy lunch service which could have been supported by more waiters/waitresses. However enjoyed it and worth a return visit.

Haven’t been to Galvin’s Bistro and Bar for years as usually go to La Chapelle so found todays experience at the Bistro very enticing. Very large portions and great service.

We had a very nice evening at the bistrot. We had opted for the vegetarian options in the set menu - the portion sizes was very generous and the food was very tasty. We had originally opted for 3 courses but had to stop after the main course as we were so full. The staff were friendly and attentive which is always a plus.

Had an excellent lunchtime meal selecting from the set menu. The food was excellent, service timely without being rushed, and the being inside with a full service the noise level while initially high did subside after 2pm. A thoroughly memorable experience and I would not hesitate to return.
