A bistro must be welcoming - with honest food and great wine. Those are the things we all love.” - Fabien Striet (Head Chef) and Nazzareno Falaschetti (Restaurant Manager) At Bistro Français, we believe French food shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions. Our menu of classic dishes is prepared to authentic recipes, alongside a few modern takes and seasonal specials. We offer wines sourced from French regions, and a handful of local producers.
