4 Best Bistros near Raleigh

“We brought out of town guests to our favorite French bistro during my son's graduation from NCSU. We like to sit at the counter to watch the chefs in action. Plus, you get Steven (the awesome Beverage Manager/Bartender) as your server. He is so knowledgeable about the menu and is a superior mixologist. Not to mention his attentiveness.
This visit we got to try the fondue and it was everything!“

“Spent the day exploring downtown Cary and came across this little bistro! Outside dining was great! Amazing food and friendly service! Sophia, my waitress was fantastic! Very friendly and attentive! The cocktail “The Butterfly Effect “ is just as good as it is pretty! The baked Brie and arugula/beet salad was delicious! Great find in Cary for sure!“

“Honestly for a hotel restaurant my food was really good! I usually avoid eating in the hotel but tonight I was too tired to go out. So I grabbed a complimentary drink for the reception and ordered a fried chicken sandwich. Service was friendly and prompt. The sandwich arrived hot and honesty was one of the better chicken sandwiches I've had. It had really good flavor and was juicy with fresh lettuce. The fries were cooked perfect to fit my liking which is crispy but not destroyed. Sorry I should've taken a picture... Fyi the table next to me got salads which looked really good.If you want to stay close or order room service I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as I was. Ignore the 1 star reviews that don't really relate to the restaurant. They also had a manager waking around checking on customers which is always a good sign that they care.“
