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.

Chef Romo's dedication to French cuisine is evident in every dish, crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients and expert technique. The impressive wine list focuses on French varietals, and the cocktail menu includes craft cocktails, and mocktails.

Please be sure to include every member of your party in your reservation. Reservations made for a smaller party than arrives may not be able to be accommodated. Kiddos count, as well! Merci!

Food and service was excellent! Naked Fish was delicious I couldn’t wait to eat my leftovers the next day. Duck was cooked perfectly, Not a fan of the sauce but it’s just a matter of preference and not due to taste. Staff and service was awesome. We were checked in on several times to be sure we were happy with the food. Highly recommend Bistronomy. . We will be back

Excellent seafood menu with delicious wines served in timely manner. Wine sommelier was a bit too taken with her homework assignments providing little value added overall.

I was excited to be able to celebrate our actual 54th wedding anniversary at Bistronomy’s Mercy of the Chef event, a special 4 course meal and wine pairing that the restaurant does weekly. When making the reservation I did not realize I was booking a regular table, not the event meal. Imagine my disappointment when arriving and discovering my mistake. The restaurant manager and the chef made the effort to add us to the fully booked special meal . We had a regular table, but the chef and the wine coordinator made individual trips to our table to make sure we got the same treatment and experience as the other event guests. It felt so special. They could not have been more accommodating. The evening was as amazing as I had expected, and I felt I was treated with a special anniversary gift. I rave about the food at this restaurant anyway, but the treatment we received was beyond my expectations. Thank you Bistronomy!

Sweet neighborhood feel with classic French attention to the most important thing: the food. Everything was delicious. The goat cheese rolls are not to be missed. It truly is a nonpretentious vibe with focus on the FOOD, which is divine. We were playing the game of how many flavors we could detect in each delicate item we enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Merci Melanie! Your kind words mean so much. Hope we can see you again soon.

The bone marrow and mussel appetizers were delicious and the scallops with coconut rice and green curry beurre blanc was next level. The manager checked in on us and was nice enough to ask the chef for me how they seared the scallops so perfectly. Looking forward to our next visit.

Outdoor patio was comfortable in the summer heat. Fans are quiet and efficient. Service was excellent. Half price wine on Wednesdays! Chenin Blanc was our choice- did not disappoint! GOAT cheese spring rolls and garlic buttered baguette with sea salt was a fantastic start! The Grouper with coconut rice was very tasty! Crème Brûlée with coconut shortbread cookies was the perfect choice for 2 to share.
