Authentic French cuisine is yours to savor at Paris Bistro in Lakewood Ranch
work. The effi-
cient service
from all the
staff impresses
me here with
questions being answered politely and smiles of the customers from each table. I think dining here puts people who have been to France in a nostal- gic mood or for those who haven’t, what they are missing. Outside seats another 30 amongst the umbrellas and promenade of Main Street in LWR.
The choices here are many and a popular selection is the Chef’s Menu with a choice being one entree for $25.90 or including an appetizer for $31.90. The appetizers include Gorgonzola Salad, Smoked Salmon Salad Hot Brie Salad, French Onion Soup. Moules Provençale and more. Entree selections are Beef Bourguignon, Fish Niçoise, Petite Bouillabaisse or Chicken Normandie as some selections. All entrees are served with Dauphinois or rice and vegetables.
From the a la carte menu are Canard a l’Orange, Cassoulet, Filet de Boeuf as a few of the entrees. A varied selection of Moules (mussels) are also offered at Paris Bistrot and do save room for the ever so delicious dessert crepes with 24 choices to savor!
New here is their Champagne Bar with over 20 selections to choose from and flights of the bubbly are 3 tastings for $25. It has been very popular and the bar is very welcoming, or you can enjoy at your table.
The owners Alexandra and Jean Christophe (JC), teammate Pierre and Herlinda all work together as a team and their history goes back to day one, 14 years ago! Their hours are lunch Tuesday - Friday 11- 2, Saturday and Sunday breakfast and lunch 8:30am-2pm and dinner every night 5-9pm. Trés bien!
