Leigh Bistro Restaurant

I recently dined at Leigh Bistro, a charming family-run restaurant nestled in the heart of Leigh-on-Sea. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for a delightful culinary experience. For dessert, I indulged in their vanilla and biscotti cheesecake. The cheesecake was a harmonious blend of creamy vanilla and the subtle crunch of biscotti, creating a delightful texture and flavor profile. It was a memorable conclusion to an already satisfying meal. The service was exceptional, with Luigi attending to my table. His attentive and friendly demeanor enhanced the overall dining experience, making me feel truly welcomed and well-cared-for. Leigh Bistro offers superb value for money, with both ‘early bird’ and ‘set-menu’ discounts available. Whether you’re a local or visiting the area, I highly recommend Leigh Bistro for its delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and outstanding service.

Leigh Bistro is an absolute gem in Leigh-on-Sea! This family-run restaurant offers an authentic Mediterranean dining experience with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From the perfectly seasoned dishes to the generous portions, you can really taste the love and passion that goes into every meal. The service is just as wonderful, with the family making you feel like a valued guest.

I had the ribeye steak was cooked to chefs recommendations. It was lovely. I highly recommend this place. The staff were lovely. The food was brilliant and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Definitely returning

Went to Leigh Bistro last night for dinner to celebrate a friend’s engagement It’s always been one of our favourite restaurants and once again it didn’t disappoint! The breaded sardines starter was delicious. I think it was part of the specials board but I hope it becomes a permanent fixture on the menu The sea bass has always been my favourite dish and it was the nicest I’ve ever had it. I think they might add garlic butter to it now. It tasted amazing! Lovely bottle of Whispering Angel with the meal, one of my friend’s favourite wines Finished off with espresso martinis for dessert! Plus a complimentary limoncello Gjovan was so lovely as always, as was the young waitress who was really polite and attentive. Looking forward to the next visit, and this time we won’t leave it so long!

Great food. Lovely nut roast & cheesecake was amazing. Good service and reasonable price.

Went here for the fist time yesterday and so happy with the food and value for money. The set menu had a great choice and was delicious! Highly recommend

Went to Leigh Bistro for my birthday dinner. Food was absolutely amazing. Charming service, can’t wait to return!

Initially I had booked for a Friday evening however had to change it last minute to a Saturday evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful on the phone and very accommodating of the change. They managed to fit us in. On arrival the restaurant was full and buzzing - the staff were very friendly and Pedro recognised us from the phone call and was very charming. Pedro and his colleagues provided a wonderful experience and the food was delicious. All of the courses were beautifully prepared and flavoursome. We felt special and well looked after - a family meal with wonderful conversation and laughter - attributed to the atmosphere. My mother - a specialist in making prawn cocktail as a starter for family feasts rated the prawn cocktail the best she had ever had... For the wine I was welcomed to taste samples to choose from. The first red on the menu - 19Cabernet Merlot - wasn’t great (one to take off the menu in my opinion) so we chose the ‘21 Antiguo Fuerte Malbec Mendoza’ from Argentina. Complex tasty wine - a good accompaniment for the red wine. Dishes ranged from Tempura Pork - a ‘sweet and sour pork balls’ style dish with a spicy kick. Delish. The steaks were perfectly cooked, the fish tasted fresh and delicious and desserts were well received. Overall a super place to wine and dine with family and friends and service was comforting and fast despite the fact that the restaurant was full with a 30 yr birthday party celebration going on with a table of about 50 people!!! Highly recommended.
