About La Bastide

Shenton Park gets a jolt of genuine Parisian bistro life at La Bastide. Tables fill quickly with diners pairing Bordeaux with magret de canard, hand-cut steak tartare, and sirloin steak frites slicked in café de Paris butter. Out on the shaded courtyard deck, dogs lounge beneath the tables while carafes empty over leisurely afternoon plates. Evening shifts the room into intimate territory—all warm woodwork, French playlists, and spoons cracking through caramelized crème brûlée.

  • Bistro Classics: Classic bistro staples feature magret de canard, steak tartare, house duck parfait, and steak frites with seasoned butter.
  • Dog-Friendly Courtyard: A shaded outdoor terrace welcomes dogs alongside leisurely glasses of French wine.
  • Atmospheric Dining: Intimate indoor tables, low ambient lighting, and French vintage tunes set the tone for anniversaries and date nights.
