Pierre to join pier as landmark for town!
SOUTHPORT’S much-anticipated French restaurant Bistrot Pierre has officially opened its doors following the renovation of one of the town’s most well-known buildings.
The restaurant, which has opened in the site of the former Russell and Bromley shop, serves seasonal menus including confit de canard, boeuf bourguignon maison and steak frites seven days a week.
Bistrot Pierre officially opened on Friday, November 17 following a £1m investment to renovate the building.
It now opens from 9am daily, offering breakfast to Southport’s diners, while the popular lunchtime prix-fixe menu -– which changes monthly – will also be available seven days a week with prices from £9.95, £11.95 and £13.95 for one, two or three courses.
The early evening prix fixe menu will be served until 6.45pm, offering two courses for £14.95.
The evening à la carte menu is also available and changes with the seasons.
Karen Rimmer, general manager at Bistrot Pierre said: “As a Southport native I’m over the moon to be the new manager at the town’s most exciting new restaurant.
“It’s an ideal location to bring our great value, authentic French bistrot dishes and I’m confident we will grow a loyal customer base in the area. There has been a real buzz around the town in the build-up to the restaurant’s opening and really I’m excited for people to try our menus in a relaxed bistrot setting.”
Rob Beacham, who founded Bistrot Pierre with school friend John Whitehead more than 20 years ago, said: “Southport is a charming town and we are looking forward to being a part of the flourishing food and drink scene here. I’m thrilled that Bistrot Pierre is able to support this thriving local economy.
“We’re really pleased to be investing in the town’s future, reviving this historic building and creating up to 50 new jobs. As part of the renovation works, we will be bringing the building’s iconic canopy back to its former glory before it is fixed back onto the external wall. This is just one example of how we maintain and complement our sites’ original features while bringing our own style to the restaurant.
“Our bistrot will be the place to celebrate with friends, family and colleagues this festive season, already proving popular with many bookings being made for December.”
