  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
From France to Florida … Family owned and operated since 2008, enjoy authentic French bistro fare like Beef Bourguignon and Pork tenderloin in a black pepper and Cognac sauce directly from Grandma's recipe book. Small and cozy modern place, ideal for sharing a delightful moment with friends or an intimate and romantic dinner.

Alexandra & Jean-Christophe (JC) will be glad to welcome you every week days for Lunch-Dinner and Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner Saturday and Sunday.

A large wine and Champagne list or a nice traditional French dessert as “creme brulee” or multiple sweet crepes will finish this authentic French experience.
You can also enjoy no more than 80 different items : crepes sweet or savory, sandwiches in freshly baked baguette, quiches and traditional French salads everyday at breakfast and lunch time.

    Great food, attentive waiter (although the place was hopping!). Prices were reasonable. We sat outside on a gorgeous evening. Lots of passersby.

    A niche restaurant serving delicious French cuisine. Busy place which attests to its popularity. Authentic French dishes and delicious dessert crepes. Fairly priced and service was very good. A return visit is warranted!

    Even though it was Valentines Day and the Bistrot was full, food and service were great. We were promptly seated at our reservation time.

    Went on Valentine’s Day so we expected it to be busy. Possibly a few more tables squeezed in to accommodate more people. We had a delicious meal and happy with our choice.

    Paris Bistrot has never failed to please us. We have been several times and truly enjoyed it. It's one of very few "go to" restaurants. Went for Valentine's, and as expected, it was great. Reservations were managed perfectly.
