Bistro Union never disappoints, but today’s lunch was my best experience yet! Dining with my wife, a friend, and one of my sons, we were once again blown away by the quality and variety of the menu. The ingredients are second to none, and the duck breast—truly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. This restaurant is a jewel in the crown of Abbeville Road. The food, service, and ambiance are consistently exceptional, making it a reliable choice every time. Thoroughly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

This was an evening at their justifiably popular Sunday Night Supper Club. They restrict it to only 40 people so it's well worth while booking well ahead as it's always sold out

This is just a wonderful little Bistro, serving the kind of quality food consistently that is rare in London. Lovely people, great atmosphere, we’ve never had a disappointing meal having been several times and the menu is always changing.

Some of the best roast chicken I’ve ever had. It was quiet when we first arrive, only one other table seated, and they seated us directly next to them… it felt a little odd, but became less bothersome when the rest of the tables began to fill as the hour went on
