Bistrot Pierre opening coming soon

THE independently-owned French restaurant group Bistrot Pierre is set to open its doors in Altrincham in early December.

The two-floor restaurant, with space for 170 diners, will open in the Stamford Quarter on Friday December 2.

It boasts floor to ceiling windows, French-styled interiors, a bar area and outside seating.

Rob Beacham, co-owner for Bistrot Pierre, said he was excited about opening the group’s 17th bistrot.

“Altrincham is well known locally as a foodie destination so we’re really excited to be joining a community that enjoys great food, especially in time for Christmas,” he said.

“The building we have secured is situated opposite Marks and Spencer and the space, which is currently being renovated, benefits from plenty of daylight and will provide a welcoming and relaxing environment for diners at any time of the day.
 
“Our Stockton Heath bistrot, just down the road, has been open for five years and its experienced general manager, Katie Salisbury, will be leading the team at Altrincham.”

Salisbury said: “I’m really looking forward to the new challenge of managing a larger bistrot and a bigger team.

“We’ll be open seven days a week, serving breakfast at weekends and our new Autumn/Winter menu which includes the delicious Confit de Canard and our bestselling Boeuf bourguignon maison. There will also be a bar area downstairs for diners to relax before a meal.

“I’ve spent almost seven years with Bistrot Pierre, after starting my career with the group as a waitress and have received excellent training to progress and grow a career in hospitality.”

Joining Salisbury’s team is sister, and assistant manager, Laura, who returned to the Bistrot Pierre family after travelling abroad and working in Manchester’s food and drink scene.
 
Beacham added: “We invest in our staff and our growing team is like one big family. I’m confident Katie and her team will build a loyal customer base, just as she has in Stockton.

“We’ve been in business for more than two decades and we know we have an offering that works and we are always listening to feedback from our customers.”

Bistrot Pierre’s ‘raison d’être’ is great value French cooking and seasonal menus; combining French bistrot classics with regional favourites. It was founded in Nottingham in 1994.
