taxman   12 #1 Posted October 17, 2019 The people behind the Alyssum Cafe on Barber Road have opened a new bistro opposite ASDA on South Road.  It's only been open a few weeks and looks very popular.  Lovely looking menu as well.  Hopefully they will make a great success of it.

Mooks   58 #3 Posted October 17, 2019 Only live 5 mins away looks popular as ye say but theres a few on south road already . Should have been a decent chippy to compete with Cod on the block at commonside which is very good and the amount of hairdressers is just mindblowing..

The last thing south road needed was a chippy instead of a what appears to be a really nice new restaurant/cafe.  there’s also nothing else on south road like the new place so it adds more variety. Really pleased and going to give it a try soon.  id have been gutted if a chippy had opened there. Don’t want it to go like some areas with just umpteen takeaways surrounded by litter. south road is gradually improving year on year - is really like to see the Rose house refurbished as that has potential to Improve things further.

Longcol   577 #5 Posted October 19, 2019 Why "bistro"?  A bistro here in France wouldn't serve cake, and would certainly serve wine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What a disgusting reply.  What is your point? Are you somewhat resentful because someone has worked very hard to do something satisfying for themselves and others and to play a part in progressing an area of our wonderful city. And especially by someone not native to our city and country.  I wish Alexa and her mum all the best and am very proud of them both   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jaffa1   10 #8 Posted October 20, 2019 This is not a disgusting reply, he's got a point. I drove past there two weeks ago and when I saw Bistro I thought great, another wining and dining place  to explore one evening until I realised it was some sort of tea and cake cafe.

Longcol   577 #9 Posted October 20, 2019 Looking at their website it is accurately described as "Coffee & Kitchen" - no mention of bistro per the OP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

How did you realise that? Not by going in, or perusing their website presumably.  If you had, you will have seen the extended Friday and Saturday evening hours, and various savoury meal options.  Maybe drive past a bit slower next time.
