La bistouille - Reservar uma mesa

We are here earlier in the year and were keen to revisit . The restaurant is in the promenade overlooking the Somme river . A trendy area. The food is fantastic, very French but different. We had delicious starters of razor clams and escargots . Delicious! Mains were roast pork, steaks and local stews. Again great. What really makes this place is the atmosphere , very funky. Customers mostly locals and many musicians. We are on a Saturday and there was live music from a great guitarist and two lady singers who switched easily between soft jazz ,Piaf , Bob Marley, Bob Dylan and more . They were frequently joined by very accomplished artists also eating there. In conversation with a local he offered that La Bistouille is the heart of the music scene in Amiens. That is easy to believe. The charming lady owner is very visible and her staff are very personable , funny and welcoming.Again the food is great, their own Calvados based cocktail slips down far too easily and is dangerous . If in Amiens don't miss this opportunity. We ended up dancing by the river with Madam and joining in the choruses .We had a fantastic evening of food and entertainment the memory of which will stay with us till our next visit. A big thank you to all . If only eating out could always be this much fun

In a long row of restaurants along the canal, La Bistouille struck as one of the most welcoming, and, it became quite busy as the evening wore on. Our first course was a delightful croustillant crispy roll (crepe ?) filled with crab and served with a homemade citrus fruit compote - really tasty. My husband had mussels house style, and I had the sole (the most expensive dish on the menu.) Everything was tasty and well priced. Informal decor and a young crowd, suited to couples and friend groups.

Just home from a very special evening at La Bistouille. Only in Amiens for one night on the way back to the UK and this place was recommended by our hotel. A very happy buzz about this pretty place by the river. Superbly warm service by Eddie. This is the kind of experience that makes you fall in love with Amiens and France. Excellent and delicious French food with a nice local twist. A real joy and well priced, especially the menu du jour. Thanks, Eddie. Wish we could come back more often

Went here by instinct and no there reason, because there is a lot of choice within a hundred yards. I trust it occasionally and this time it definitely paid off. It was a lunchtime visit. Great menu and what are a lot of clearly locally sourced ingredients. I do recommend the moules - and the menu du jour at (as I remember) €19.00 The service is good-humoured and very friendly - it is the sort of place you feel at home at.

Located on the bank of the river Somme in the centre of town. Relaxed ambience and very welcoming staff. We sat in the outside salon that was well heated and waterproof!Great choice of food that was well explained with some witty banter. All of the food was well prepared, tasty and in large portions - possibly too large! Value was very fair.Recommended
