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.

    A pure joy to dine here on Christmas Eve. Family run with a sense of sharing their French traditions. Every plate served shows the attention of people who care. Festive, joyous and soulful. A wonderful experience that we’ve enjoyed for almost a decade.

    We haven't been to Paris Bistro in awhile but have been meaning to go for dinner since we mostly go here for lunch. It was the perfect spot for dinner before a movie. We had a reservation but decided to sit at the bar. A nice white tablecloth was laid out along with silverware and napkin. Turns out the staff member serving us, Emma, was the owners daughter (we meet great people sitting at a bar). She made great recommendations from the menu and was extremely attentive. We both started with glasses of different French wines. Both were excellent. My husband enjoyed the escargot for an appetizer and said it was very good. I enjoyed the Chicken Normande for my entree and he had the Pork Marco Polo. Both were delicious. There's nothing better than French sauces for their dishes. We normally don't do dessert but I love crêpes. They had a Profiterole Crêpe and we just had to order it. Emma warned us it was large. It was three crêpes, each filled with vanilla ice cream, topped with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. It was large but it was so good we ate it all. Pricing is very reasonable for what you get and the Chef's Menu is a steal at $34.95 for an appetizer and entree. You can order an entree only for $28.90. Plus they donate a $1 from each Chef's Menu order to the V Foundation for Pediatric Cancer Research (a cause dear to our hearts). It was the perfect place for a pre-movie dinner and we'll visit far more often in the future. Merci beaucoup to the staff!

    Our party of four enjoyed our dinner at Paris Bistrot immensely. Three of us ordered onion soup, which was astounding. The entrees were tasty, and the crème brûlée was delicious. It was our second visit, and I expect to return often.
