The “fusion of French and Asian flavours” at Franck Grillet’s bistro is “unusual” – but “it works amazingly well”, with “spot-on cooking and presentation”. “The room itself is well-decorated”, too (fans say the “stunning decor matches the exciting menu”). There is now a second branch in Bristol. Top Tip – “the prix-fixe lunch has to be one of the best deals around”.

A “fabulous selection of French/Indian cuisine, full of flavour and beautifully presented”, is thanks to an unusual collaboration between two chefs from very different traditions – Frenchman Franck Grillet, a graduate of the Parisian ‘bistronomie’ movement, and Indian Pramod Tirunagari. The success of the combination has led to the opening of a second branch in Bristol.

“Fabulous cooking, mixing Indian and French cuisines to offer unusual, superbly flavoured dishes” is the USP of this three-year-old collaboration, bringing together two chefs from very different culinary traditions – Franck Grillet and Pramod Tirunagari – and “it works!”, producing meals of “fine-dining quality in a relaxed bistro atmosphere, and at bistro prices”. The pair opened a spin-off in Bristol late last year.

“Put a French chef in a kitchen with an Indian chef and this is what you get” – an idiosyncratic two-year-old restaurant from Gallic bistronomy advocate Franck Grillet, enriched by his longstanding relationship with collaborator Pramod Tirunagari. “Original? yes. gastronomic? definitely!”“these guys can really cook” (“when you weren't expecting great, this happens!”).

"We will admit that the description was a little off-putting, but in fact we had a wonderful meal - the prix-fixe lunch has to be one of the best deals around. The combination of French and Indian flavours worked amazingly well. Service was good, the price is very reasonable and the room itself is nicely decorated with almost perfect sound levels."
