Had lunch here and everything was so fresh, homemade, and very traditional as if I was back in France. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to experience French Cuisine, especially the escargot!

What a wonderful neighborhood gem! I Came here with my friend. Had no idea this place existed. This a family owned and run, true French style cooking. Pretty good wine list, all types of quiches and escargot. I saw steak tartare on the menu and I was sold. I ordered it the day prior. This was the first in a long time I was excited about eating somewhere new. We ordered the Swiss cheese and champignon escargot, steak tartare and entrecot w/ frites. Everything was delicious. Even their fries were better than anywhere I have been to in a while. Service was great, ambiance very welcoming. I'll be talking about this place for a while. Highly recommended.

Nestled in the heart of Oakland Park, Florida, Escargot Bistro offers a delightful family dining experience with a classic ambiance that exudes warmth and comfort. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with an atmosphere of quiet sophistication, perfect for a casual yet refined meal. Let's start with Stephan, the owner, whose hospitality sets the tone for the entire dining experience. His friendly demeanor and attentiveness make guests feel welcome and appreciated. Not only does he provide excellent service, but his recommendations also ensure that every dish exceeds expectations. For starters, the Escargot tradition is a must-try, offering a delightful combination of savory flavors with a hint of garlic, served fresh and indulgent. Moving on to the main course, the Foie gras de canard poëlé aux pommes is a standout dish, featuring perfectly pan-seared duck liver complemented by a rich red wine sauce infused with raspberry vinegar. The side of sautéed peaches with brandy adds a touch of sweetness, while the potato au gratin and grilled goat cheese complete the dish with finesse. Another highlight is the Moules Mariniere, a classic rendition of mussels cooked in a Loire Valley white wine sauce, bursting with savory goodness. The Le Classic Steak Frites, featuring a tender Top Sirloin Steak topped with a flavorful bleu cheese sauce and served with perfectly crisp French fries, is a true crowd-pleaser. Overall, our dining experience at Escargot Bistro was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was executed with precision, showcasing the chef's mastery of French cuisine. Whether you're a fan of escargot, seafood, or steak, there's something on the menu to satisfy every palate. With such impeccable food and service, it's no wonder that we're already planning our next visit. Escargot Bistro has undoubtedly earned a spot on our list of favorite dining destinations in Oakland Park.

This was positively the best dining experience I’ve ever had in So. Florida. Everything was fresh and homemade. The food was authentic French bistro cuisine. Every bite mouthwatering. We were a group of five so we order a bunch of dishes and shared everything. I got the lentil soup special. I’ve never tasted any soup so delicious. Creamy, savory and filled with fresh herbs and vegetables. We shared the steak frites, duck l’orange, sole in Marsala, goat cheese salad and two different types of escargot dishes. Beyond fabulous. All of it. Everything prepared to perfection. And the desserts. Don’t ask. Chocolate crepes and flan. Omg. Do not miss this family owned spot.You’re welcome.

Went again, this time with five others for my sister's birthday lunch. Everyone loved it. I had the traditional escargot appetizer, and then I had Sole with an almondine sauce that was spectacular. One person had escargot quiche, and another a Caesar with chicken, and someone had Quiche Lorraine. The owner was there for us to answer any menu questions and he does much of the serving too. He's so congenial. I will go back, for sure. I must try the chocolate crepes, if I ever save room for them. Unfortunately it's in Ft Lauderdale and I live in West Palm, but it's worth the trip for a grand lunch (and I assume a very grand dinner)!

Family owned gem. Been twice and loved it both times. The various escargot dishes are delicious, but the beef bourgingon was the best I've had in the US. Also delicious were the dinner crepes and the surprisingly varied and interesting deserts.
I was craving French food (we live in Puerto Vallarta) and so whilst here, looked for such a restaurant. We found this and decided to try it. We had the lunch special... appetizer and main. My husband selected the escargot au gratin and the chicken pasta; I had the soupe à l'oignon gratinée and the crèpe Ho-la-la with a bottle of the Sancerre. The flavours were well-balanced, the soup not too salty, and the sauces very interesting. The maître d' was friendly and knowledgeable. A great experience and good value for the food. Highly recommended.

Tried the escargot - was pleasantly surprised by the taste. Their crepes are delish. The owner and his wife are a delight. Try them for lunch or dinner.

I have been a patron for the last year + since moving here in fall of 22- every meal here is excellent with service and ambiance to match! I really feel like I’m in a small French cafe, I do miss going to France and haven’t been since pandemic started…a long time, I know! The husband and son and wife team are the best and very friendly! They also have a listserv for the weekend specials emailed out which I hungrily wait for every week LOL my love and I came for NYE and AGAIN knocked it out of the park! The meals are fresh and yummy and you can taste the love hard work that’s put into those dishes, I’m never disappointed when I go. IF YOU LOVE FRENCH FOOD YOU MUST GO TO ESCARGOT BISTRO! You’ll be coming back for more just like me!!! =^_^=Parking: Small lot within a plaza but have never had issues finding parking. However I always make 6pm reservations, after rush hour but before dinner time
