I was absolutely blown away by this place. Everything about it was excellent, the decor, the staff, the background music... especially the food! Living in the US, I’m used to great food and generous portions, which you don’t often find in the UK. Here we both had the Crispy duck wrap, it comes with 2 generous sides and wow... it was incredible! The lady serving us was so friendly and I cannot wait to come back and try something else from the menu! This is a hidden gem! Thank you RestoBistro!

Lived in Epping for 2 years and never been, so last night we decided to give this little place a try. We were very surprised and had a great meal! Great menu choices almost too much to decide between. The Goats Cheese Pear starter was gorgeous! My husband had the chicken tempura starter which he loved! The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived with only 2 tables, but by the time we were leaving another 5 groups turned up. The poor man (I think the Owner) was rushed off his feet on his own bless him. A little pricey for what it is but very nice would visit again.

My wife and I have always enjoyed this restaurant but do not seem to get the chance to visit as much as we would wish. On this occasion we were joined by my sister and niece on a Saturday evening and, if anything, enjoyed our meal even more than usual. We all had different starters from the specials board a VERY generous portion of large prawns in a prawn cocktail, an equally generous portion of Gravadlax, fillet of trout with Russian salad and Haloumi with water melon. Every dish received glowing reviews. Three of us had ribs and they were excellent as always and a real revalation for my sister and niece who said they were the best ribs they had ever had. My wife had rotisserie chicken breast which was declared delicious but a little on the dry side she should perhaps have gone for the chicken thighs that she has had previously. All the side dishes were good nice fries, delicious sweet potato fries, very garlicky mushrooms, really excellent onion rings and nice, plainly cooked, snappy sugarsnaps. Three of us finished with cheese and biscuits. Although there was nothing exotic in the selection (St.Augur, camembert, bavarian smoked, port salut, emmental and a nice anonymous hard cheese , the portions were generous and the cheeses were all in good condition. The camembert was nicely soft and, most importantly, they were all served at room temperature. There was some nice wine at reasonable prices and drinks on the house at the end of the meal (when I said that I did not want my free drink the manager very kindly removed the final glass of wine I had had from the bill a lovely touch! In fact the service was excellent and attentive throughout even to the extent of bringing the cheeses from the kitchen to the table to show us when we asked what cheeses were in the selection. We were in the restaurant for over three hours, enjoying the wine between courses, and the time just flew by which is the ultimate proof of an enjoyable evening. I have never understood why, from time to time, this place receives negative reviews usually referring to the service and prices. Firstly, we have never experienced anything other than excellent, friendly service. Secondly, at first blush, the prices on the menu may appear a little on the high side but, when portion size, quality, and the inclusive side dishes are taken into account, prices are quite reasonable. They are certainly favourably comparable with other restaurants in Epping High Street (If you consider the prices here to be steep; perhaps the fish and chip shop or take away Kebab down the road would be more in your price range...... RB is an important and unique element of our Epping dining options so we hope they are here for many years to come.

Overpriced crap!! Terrible staff,we had to keep getting up and going to ask for stuff while the staff sat at the end of the bar eating. One other table had people on it,a creepy looking man estate agent I think) with two women drinking bottles of wine and eating cheese, he was treated like some kind of plastic gangster by the owner I think at one point he kisssed he’s ring.. yet when we with our 5 year old and 6 month old girls asked for anything,we where looked at with confusion and contempt. I ordered the rib eye steak at £23.99 and it was served with a small bowl of oven chips and one lettuce leaf, I asked for rare and got well done literally)!!!

Dining at this recommended restaurant left a lot to be desired, with dishes like pate and pork belly being inedible. However, another review praised the top-quality food and lovely atmosphere, vowing to return. The menu offers an array of British cuisine options. While one review commended the superb food and attentive staff, another noted the high prices. On the other hand, a visit with friends resulted in seriously delicious food, attentive staff, and 20% off the bill. Overall, the well-presented restaurant with huge portions of delicious food received high recommendations from satisfied diners.

RestoBistro is a hidden gem in Epping, located at the southern end of the high street. The food is exceptional, made in-house and with high-quality ingredients. This independent restaurant has a reputation for excellence, with themed nights organized by the chef and management that are always a hit. Personally, I recommend trying their Sunday Roasts, which are the best in the area.

It's possible that it was just an off night, but when we ordered takeout from this restaurant, we received literal fried slop. I can't believe this food was prepared by a chef! I typically don't write negative reviews, especially for local businesses, but I was truly shocked by the quality of the food. I'm sorry, but it is unacceptable to serve food like this. This was my first and last time ordering from here. The food was shockingly bad.

I'm sorry . This is pub grub chain restaurant food . Menu is too extensive. Fried food. Awful. Disappointing.

Reasonable food by way too overpriced! Example, the Caesar salad nice amount of chicken and salad leaves, but not much else, with a price of £16. Service was very good, although it wasn’t very busy at the time. Shame, as I would have expected more for the price.

What a beautiful little jewel. I came to a recommendation here and it has not disappointed that eating was fantastic and so was the service. went for bruschetta to start and melt in the mouth, drop them from the bone ribs for net. would see the starter next time the portion size of the ribs! rib glazed with a side pot of jack daniels sauce, a bit sweet and a beautiful deep of taste. the chips also had this real potato taste. beautiful staff and a beautiful evening. would definitely go back.

Had my first meal here before 4 weeks (early june) and enjoyed so much again 3 times in the last 4 weeks. great food, service and cheap prices.

Delicious food. good service. a very beautiful evening.

One of the best restaurants in Epping. I had the Sirloin Steak and was cooked perfectly as where the Chip that come with it. Its nice to have a sauce included in the price. Also love there takeaway, always have thr duck noodles. Service is always on point and happy to help.

Was very surprised at the value for money prices, as expected it more expensive. the service of the first phone call (I had a take,) where it recommended to go sauces with my dressed to the amount of food and taste. can not recommend this location enough. next time, if they leave a cheap, they give this place a walk
