Bistro - Castlereagh

Having decided to go out for a last minute tea we rang the Ivanhoe who were able to accommodate us. Although the bistro was very busy we were welcomed by a very nice waitress and shown to our table and we ordered our meal which arrived beautifully presented and served by excellent staff, it was delicious and would have no hesitation in recommending this place for food and service.

Been regular diners here for a long time and it was always a good experience until last Friday 04/11/ 22 ordered the roast beef which was usually 2 to 3 slices and very nice but this time it was only about one slice that arrived shredded very very dissatisfied and when your spending between £70 to £100 per visit it just isn’t value for money so we will not be returning anytime soon Regards Audrey and Ray Turner

Today Sunday 20th feb my wife and daughter with her two children and a friend decided to have dinner at this bistro, after asking for a table for three adults, and two children, wife early 60’s, daughter early 30’s and two boys 4 and 7 , the greeter? This man looked my wife and daughter and children up and down and said we are fully booked, there were empty tables! It seems only certain people are allowed to eat in this bistro! Remember people asking locals to support local eateries…..avoid like Covid!

My wife and my sister booked Sunday lunch here ,we were ver disappointed in the general service ,the food when it did arrive was not to bad the staff did not seem very interested in asking if we had any complaints .We felt as if they did not care we will not be returning to this bistro

I live local to the Ivanhoe but hadn’t visited for a long time as previously had a disappointing meal a number of years back. Had heard good reports so decided to book a family lunch. Was welcomed by very friendly staff and the restaurant had a lovely open atmosphere. Nice traditional menu with a good selection of dishes. Also a good selection of Vegan options. The portion sizes are rather large. Not a major issue to be honest but most of our party struggled to finish their plates!! Deserts were really good too! All in all a lovely family meal and reasonably priced compared to some of the other restaurants in the locality at £105 for a party of 5. Will definitely be back!
