Group Eating at Bistro

We lost a giant, we didn’t lose the spirit.

If you had to come up with a single phrase to sum up what Jean-Robert stood for, it would be his exuberant joy for life, his Joie de Vivre.  

It’s why we do what we do, why we open our restaurants to you:
To celebrate life, bistro style. With food, friends around the table, with laughter and gratitude all the things that make life amazing and full of joy!

Bistro

Yes, our heritage is French and our food is French, but really, the Bistro Way of Life is so much more. It’s a limitless love and a stubborn gratitude for everything we enjoy together.

We share our “Joie de Vivre” every single day, with one purpose:
to make our time together the best it can be.

French

Our menus are a vibrant celebration of our passion for French food. We honor our heritage while embracing the future, with each dish telling a story—from Jean-Robert and Annette's early days to cherished family recipes and beloved restaurant staples.

Regardless of their origin, all our dishes share a common goal: embracing the Bistro Way of Life.

Future

We prioritize local, low-waste, plant-forward*, and fresh ingredients, believing that the most delicious food is also the kindest to the planet.

Day and night, we celebrate—because the “Bistro Way of Life” is a never-ending party. We savor every moment, knowing we'll do it all again tomorrow, and for ever and ever.
