About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Bistronomy by Nico invites you to experience a Parisian bistro in the heart of Charleston. Led by acclaimed French Master Chef Nico Romo, this charming restaurant offers a delightful mix of classic French dishes and innovative culinary creations.

The warm and inviting ambiance features a sleek, modern interior and a long marble bar, ideal for pre-dinner drinks. The menu tempts with dishes like escargot, goat cheese spring rolls, steak frites, and tuna crudo.

    Kristin made us some fabulous cocktails, and our friends from the UK thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We had goat cheese spring rolls, grouper, scallops, and burgers. Everything was prepared perfectly as usual! Thanks for yet another great experience!

    Overall a very enjoyable dinner. Brenden is super at front door and keeping it all together. Server was a bit chilly. I prefer snails served in shell with butter rather than in a small crust. Quite noisy. Hope to bring a group of 6 soon but will want to sit in breezeway or farther back in main dining area.

    Thank you for your feedback, Lee. Just give us a call when you make your reservation, and we will do our best to seat you in your preferred area! Glad you enjoyed overall and hope to see you again soon.

    Great food and experience. Kristen may be the best bartender in Charleston and Brendan, the general manager makes everything go well.
