St Thomas

About the restaurant

French Quarter Bistro was opened in 2018 in the heart of Frenchtown by Ed and Amoi Foerstel due to their love of all cuisine, Cajun.

Creole is derived from the many cultures who have settled in New Orleans, including; French, Spanish, West African, Caribbean, German, Italian, and Irish. Cajun is derived from the French-speaking Acadians who settled in the bayous south of New Orleans. The influences of the French are the most prominent of both cuisines. Almost all of our Creole and Cajun dishes begin with a stock (poultry, beef, or seafood), trinity (onions, green bell peppers, celery), and a roux (blonde, brown, or dark), lending a unique flavor to our Gumbo and other dishes.

We invite you to come to taste our cuisine at French Quarter Bistro. We are not re-inventing Creole and Cajun cuisine, only sharpening it!

We experienced outstanding service at this restaurant. We had delicious cocktails (mai tai & hurricane) plus fish tacos and burgers. We were extremely happy with the overall experience. The view from the restaurant is very special. This spot is very casual and teen/child friendly.

I never leave reviews.. but this place went above and beyond and 100% deserves one. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent and the staff really took it to the next level. I took my wife here for our anniversary dinner and right as I was about to give up and request the food to go because our 2 and 3 year old were losing their minds in the first 15 mins, the staff brought out chalk that they could draw on the table and then provided a chalk board menu stand as the back source of entertainment. They made custom created cocktails and paired it perfectly with a wonderful meal. This place was our hidden gem for so many reasons. You will not be disappointed.
