Bistro Union - London

Richard K.

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.

We had a great experience at Bistrot Union today! The service is five star, people are friendly, accommodating and professional. They listen a lot and can give effective suggestions. Most importantly they offer free amazing bread and butter to start with 🤤
The food is nothing but superlative as in any Trinity's venue. Fair price and top quality. We recommend having a main and a dessert; it turned out to be enough for lunch. The couple costs 38£ excluding service charge.
The wine list is rich, full of fairly priced options. The house wine selection is great enough and gives the flexibility of having a 500ml instead of a liter, for more moderated sundays 😉
South London vibes all over the place!

Ultra-pleasant neighbourhood spot on a quiet street with excellent food, attentive service, and a well-crafted wine list.
It’s also the sister to Trinity, the Michelin-starred spot in Clapham Old Town. Both restaurants are helmed by Chef Adam Byatt.

Bistro Union is a gem. It’s super comfortable — the kind of place you could happily settle in for an afternoon, as the gang in the bar were doing on the day we visited. There’s a straightforward menu of things that you’ll want to eat. You can go traditional — starter, main, dessert — or mix and match plates to share from snacks to bigger stuff. It’s flexible enough to fit any mood or occasion.

We went a bit wild and did both. Snacks included delicious comté gougères and brown crab arancini. Homemade bread and whipped butter was so good that we asked for a second round.
For starter, the chicken liver & foie gras parfait was Michelin quality, and the burrata la latteria with romanesco and chilli was like a bowlful of spring.

Mains were rabbit in mustard sauce and duck confit. Both were perfectly done. The rabbit falling off the bone and the mustard sauce well balanced with sharpness and creaminess.
We were too full for dessert.

But Bistro Union really delivered — with fantastic bistro-style food and in bringing us together over their delicious dishes.

I’ve been really looking forward to coming here for a roast but was a little disappointed if I’m honest. The food was tasty enough but definitely wasn’t great. The sirloin beef was stone cold and covered in in-edible fat + dry Yorkshires. Whoever plated our food up was clearly thinking about the football. I wouldn’t usually care but this meal was almost double the price of other places locally and as Bistro Union markets itself as the best, I felt obliged to tell the truth. Staff were all lovely and perfectly attentive 👍

We had a lovely lunch. The place and the playlist are really relaxing.
I have a nuts allergy and the staff took a really good care of me. Thank you very much.
I recommend you the brioche with the caramel coulis and the rum and raisin ice-cream 😋

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. Great food & drinks. Menu online is a little different to in person but still they cater to every need. We came for our friend’s birthday and despite there being 11 of us girls they served us with pure patience and care. They were attentive, the food was beyond yummy and they made the whole experience great. It felt like the staff liked their jobs and weren’t just being paid to be nice to us lol. I think it’s my top 3 restaurant in London.only photo I have was of our mains as we were all too busy having fun and enjoying the food. Highly recommend the duck starters, empanadas & steak.

This is a great little place for either breakfast or dinner. The breakfast comes in a frying pan which is a nice touch and you have the option to build your own. We have been here for birthdays and anniversary’s and the most recent for Valentine’s Day. The food was delicious and it’s great to have staff who can recommend wines to go with the meal. We have always enjoyed coming here and will be back again soon!

We had a fantastic three course meal for a very reasonable price. The wine list was extensive, and the service was outstanding. We will be comming back to try out the new menus.

Bistro Union had a good vegetarian range in their 3 course option.
