Best Bistros in Northwest

Always a fun lunch with great food, great service and lovely piano music by Michelangelo.

We had an amazing lunch at Cafe Rebelais. We ordered the mussels and the escargot, the mussels were very creamy, I wosh we had ordered fries but the gave us bread and it was delicious. We also had the salmon, the chicken and the beef burgignon. All three plates were fantastic. I would totally go back!

The food and service at Barbacana were outstanding. We enjoyed the tasting menu and every dish was excellent and flavorful. Enjoyed watching the chef’s in the kitchen and the chef owner serving and discussing the dishes. There were only us and one other couple at the Tasting menu counter for the first 1.5 hours of our Saturday 5:45 reservation time. The overall restaurant is huge and to me seems like too big a footprint for a tasting menu restaurant which explains their pivot to offer a la carte options. We thought the concept would be perfect in a smaller space sort of like Baso. In any event the meal was fantastic and I hope the Barbacana concept makes it in this very difficult restaurant business.

Excellent social time with friends, excellent food, laughter and service. We had a great time. Always take advantage of their specials. Last night, they featured a lobster risotto with Argentine lobster bites on a creamy potato and asparagus sauce that was delicious.

Absolutely wonderful!!! The waitstaff especially Benny are great. The food was amazing. We even got to watch the sunset. Highly recommend going there!!!
