Nice environment. Familiar menu. Great service but some elements more expensive than expected including an expected change to the "main" size of the steak tartare. Previously main size was larger. Now main size is starter size with chips.

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.

The staff at the bar and in the restaurant were very friendly and welcoming, I didn’t feel rushed at all. The food was also delicious (I had the sea bream) and portions were very generous. Lots of great options on the menu so have to come back to try them :).

Really enjoyable pre-fireworks meal. I had steak and crepes while my daughter had french onion soup and grilled chicken … and shared the banana crepe. We were looked after well by the warm and friendly team and our meal was delicious!
