Saturday morning came and went, and with our shopping finished, we were in the mood for something nice for lunch. By the River Avon, we happened to notice a cute Thai restaurant and wandered over to it. However, apparently it was closed due to a kitchen fire and was currently being refurbished! So, my apologies Le Bistrot Pierre, but you the safety net back up restaurant ;)
The other reviewer had some interesting points -- this place wasn't particularly very memorable. I got the soup de jour (butternut squash), and the special fish lunch, Lewis got a steak.
