Bistronomic
Bistronomic — well-regarded french in Gold Coast. The decor hasn't changed, and it doesn't need to. You can taste the generations behind this. "The duck confit was tender with crispy skin, the French toast was rich, custardy and decadent" — Cecile Chung [$$$, patio]

“The duck and french toast as well as the rhubarb pancakes are next level- elevated in every way. Flavors are profound. Always try to stop in when visiting. They nail it every time! Thank you!”

“Our first visit! Frank welcomed us and took care of us. I loved the Gazpacho. It's very authentic. We had a house in Barcelona for about 10 years so I know gazpacho pretty well. It was perfection! The beat was also a big hit. Loved it! We live around the corner and we'll be back often.”

“Excellent service and truly delicious food. The atmosphere was charming and authentic, and every dish we tried was full of flavor. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special. Definitely a place worth coming back to!”

“Charming French restaurant. We tried the duck leg confit based on reviews and they were spot on. The server helpfully pointed out that it comes with a small salad, so we skipped our salad order. We also tried the pork chop. Someone, a chef(?), came to check up on us twice on what we thought of it. We were happy to tell him that it was excellent. The smoky aroma and capers really helped it stand out. The mashed potatoes also paired nicely with it. This was a wonderful meal.”

“Great drink and food with sweet ambience, awesome service.”

“It was a wonderful experience when we went there for the first time. When we returned it was even better.”

“Phenomenal! I threw a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend here. Lulu and her team went above and beyond expectations in order to make it so special for us. Food and vibes were amazing! Highly recommend Bistronomic for any occasion and will return in the future. Thanks again! (:”

“French cuisine during restaurant week, woth the wine pairing and dessert. It was fantastic, didn't leave hungry as the plates are smaller but very rush, and the dessert was outstanding!”

“Loved the food and service. Cherry diplomate is one of the best desserts I ever had.”
