Feedback
Reviews praise Kendell's Bistro's food, presentation and warm service, noting its romantic ambience; some diners caution the interior is very dim and menus can be hard to read.
Four of us Went for early dinner before concert at the Wardrobe Venue next door . Lovely ambiance with low lighting. Service was excellent and friendly . Food was amazing and great value for the pre theatre dinner . I’ll be back soon for date night with my wife .
Excellent all round. Ridiculous palaver to get to this page. Why verification codes? I'm only leaving a review not accessing money!!!
Le restaurant est vraiment très jolie! La cuisine française est au point, nous avons passé une très bonne soiree. Je recommande vivement. Update went again in July 2024. We order lots of food (4 starters, 2 mains, 2 desserts). The only two things I would not recommend are the snails, cooked under some pastry and it was tasteless. And also the fish cake which was way too salty. Everything else was SPECTACULAR, I would still very much recommend.
Unprepossessing exterior belies what awaits inside. Food, service and ambience exceptional.
This is the first time I've posted a second review for a restaurant but felt moved to do so after another superb meal for three at Kendells last night. Selection of food, ambience and a bit of a cause of mine service were all outstanding. Having been there an hour, I realised I was as relaxed and happy as I could have been at any eatery, after a gravadlax starter and Porc Normandie main. As always, I went for the sorbet for dessert it didn't matter what flavour, as I've never tasted better than here. When out with family, it means a lot to have the unfussy attention of waiting staff and the trust that any menu selection will work out fine for all diners. I can't help but plan for the next visit to Kendells......

FAQ
More information
Though Kendell's Bistro keeps a discreet street presence, regulars often rave about receiving personalised touches — from anniversary vouchers to attentive service that remembers preferences. Also, the restaurant’s romantic candle-lit mood is so immersive that diners sometimes use phone torches to navigate the menu, a quirky habit that has become a talking point among visitors.
