What JohnCracknell likes about Bijou:
I had a great dining experience at the Bijou once again. The owner greeted me warmly as always. The food and drinks were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the delicious beer battered haddock. View all feedback. What Katy W doesn't like about Bijou:
Sweet little cafe, the coffee is as good as to be expected. I've never ate there but it's always got a few different groups of people in during day and night. The staff aim to please and give the same personable service to everybody who visits. View all feedback.

On first pass, considering where it is and what the colour scheme is, I thought it was one of these ambiguous media companies. In reality it's a tiny little res...
