From the moment Mary greeted us at the door, I knew that my family was going to be treated to wonderful hospitality. The food was excellent, fresh and made with care. I am very grateful to have stumbled on this place while driving through town.
I couldn't be more excited that Bistro is back open for lunch! Today I went in for the smoked salmon crepe at lunch time and it was DELICIOUS! I was especially happy to see the decadent caviar on top - what an excellent addition to this dish. I look forward to returning next week to try more lunch menu items!

Bistro 501 is a popular local restaurant that offers a delightful brunch experience, especially on Sundays. The specials are often praised for their creativity, with the empanadas being a standout dish. Guests enjoy a cozy atmosphere for date nights, where they can savor a variety of dishes, including marrow bones, risotto, and the signature sticky toffee carrot cake. The recently reintroduced lunch menu features favorites like the smoked salmon crepe, enhanced by decadent caviar. While the service is generally good, the interior could use some updating, as it appears to have been remodeled in the late 1990s. The friendly staff, including standout team member Mary, contributes to the warm hospitality that guests appreciate. Although the blackened burger may not have been to everyone's taste, the creme brulee and drinks received high praise. Overall, Bistro 501 offers a mix of creative cuisine, friendly service, and a comfortable ambiance, making it a favorite in Lafayette.
