Bistro Jacques

Who are they

Bistro Jacques, Shrewsbury, is the sister restaurant of three similar French eateries in Liverpool - Bistro Franc, Bistro Pierre and Bistro Jacques. This place is relatively new to Shrewsbury, opening in early summer 2012. The restaurant prides itself on serving authentic French cuisine in Gallic themed surroundings. You can find them at Mardol Head, opposite the market and the Darwin Gate sculpture.

What do they offer

Check their website for the latest menus as they tend to change on almost a daily basis, making the most of the best ingredients they can source locally. All the meals you would expect are there, including steaks, tagines, Bouillabaisse and Moules frites.

Why do we like them

The food, obviously. Anywhere that serves Gratin Dauphinois as a side is well worth a visit. A read through the a la carte menu, trying to decide what to eat is a real treat, but with so many French classics and some you probably aren't so familiar with, you'll have trouble deciding what to opt for. Our advice is flip a coin, you can try something different on your next visit.

We also like the style of the place. They have created a strong brand identity that is immediately recognisable. Inside the place is very unpretentious and relaxed, with nice music that is not too loud. If you want to design a restaurant, you wouldn't go far wrong if it looked like Bistro Jacques.

There are plenty of cafes to choose from in Shrewsbury, and as coffee fanatics we should have tried more than one during our short stay. However, we enjoyed our lunch in Arthur's so much on the first day that we returned for another on the second.
The coffee and mocha are superb, and the food delicious. Pity we live 180 miles away!

Fantastic Homemade Sausages and Bacon. Roger Gough is possibly the best Butcher in the country at the moment! Cannot recommend this butcher enough!
