37 Best Bistros near Astoria

“Delicious food, fun decor and ambience, not too loud so you can hear people at your table but not too quiet where it feels you can hear others' conversations. Our waitress was excellent. There was a mix up with one of the orders and she sorted it out right away! The space is cozy but feels open with lots of windows. I shall return to try their chicken not waffles!“

“It is located inside the Vista LIC Hotel where we had the opportunity to have breakfast. Friendly and efficient service, good quality freshly prepared breakfast. Right now there is a promotion $11.99 two eggs, bacon/sausage, potatoes, juice/coffee/tea.“

“I don’t know why this place is so slept on for dinner. Had our last minute anniversary dinner here and it blew us away. Food was balanced, fresh, rich. Spectacular. Falafel! Steak! Grilled beans!

Excellent all around. Will be back.“

“The food was impeccable. The shish barak stood out immediately — brought fully to life by Huda’s deft touch of spice. Among the appetizers, the bandora showcased heirloom tomatoes at their absolute freshest, while the rakkat achieved a rare and graceful balance between sweet and savory. The kibbeh naya is a must-try for anyone who appreciates raw meat.

Service, courtesy of Ismail, was warm without being intrusive, striking exactly the right note. We will be back.“

“The gumbo and Oxtail w/polenta were 👏🏿👏🏿 Bravo Mike! Bravo!!“

“I felt very well taken care of and valued throughout my meal. The Serbian waiter was very skilled and friendly and he really made sure I was well taken care of.“

“Pretty OK steak tartare, but overly acidic and that “dried” yolk is funny. The salad is also extremely acidic but thankfully i got a side of fries (yes, a steak tartare that doesn’t come with fries lol) and they were pretty good!“

“Great food excellent service Highly recommend“

“We found Sullaluna through the Red Dining Book, and we’re so happy we decided to try it. It’s a beautiful, charming restaurant, with walls lined with a colorful collection of children’s books that give the space so much character. The food was even better - the pastas were fresh, vibrant, and delicious. It was also such a treat to meet the owner and hear her story. A really special experience all around, and a place we’re very glad to have discovered.“

“Ella Funt is a delight! Cool vibe from the moment you walk in — excellent mood lighting and beautiful art across the walls. A lot of it is a bit risque, but I loved it. And the bathroom on the left is painted entirely in gold, which is so funny and so fitting.

Cocktails are spot on. The Lower Manhattan is a solid non-ABV choice, and the Lemon Martini does the trick if you're in the mood for a gin martini — strong but not too hard. Wine by the glass is well-priced for NYC. Food-wise, it was good but not great. We had the tuna crudo, steak tartare, tomato salad, trout with celery root puree, and the steak au poivre. The tuna crudo was a great start, but the meal kind of plateaued from there. The steak au poivre was just too saucy and peppery — I like au poivre, but this was too much. Overall a decent experience with good value, coming in under $100 per person with tip. Just don't come primarily for the food.“

“The food is delicious and Mihai is the best waiter!“

“This place is a gem and one of the only
French places I’ve been to in a long time that reminded me of my year living in Paris. The music and decor transport you to the cafes and bistros of Montmartre. They serve hard to find classics like veal blanquette and Coquilles St Jacques. But my favorite is the Steak Frites with the house sauce. I really enjoyed my evening there. Merci!“

“This is such an amazing place! I highly recommend the steak tartare and just about everything I’ve ever eaten here. The French apple martinis are definitely drinkable. From the friendly atmosphere to the scrumptious creme brûlée—this is a must visit restaurant.“

“This place is so wonderful! When you come here and ask for the extra stinking dirty martini (With gin, don’t play games!) and always ask for Nicki and Bug. They are two of the best bartenders in Brooklyn. You will be so happy you came here. Cheers!“

“10/10 for Dudley's, food was amazing, we had the whipped ricotta and calamari to start and then shared the cheese burger, it was all delicious and a perfect amount of food for two ladies. The servers were attentive. Bar staff was great and cocktails are good. The tables are close to each other but that's to be expected. There is one restroom for men and women but there was no wait and the restaurant was full. Great experience, would go again“

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“love it. always go back when we are visiting our kid,! inside or outside. our favorite.“

“A Genuinely French, Neighborhood Gem! This authentic, lovely, VERY French Bistro serves French favorites in a charming, townhouse setting. The host (Xavier) and owner (Virginia) are attentive, very warm, jovial, accommodating and very French. The food is so authentically good! The appetizers are tasty, especially the beet carpaccio with goat cheese, and soups. (The French onion soup is, arguably, the best we've ever had. My son loves their fish soup.) During our many visits, we have thoroughly enjoyed the mussels in various, delightful preparations (Provençal is our personal favorite). When they have a Berkshire pork chop or rack of lamb special, we have enjoyed the perfectly cooked and seasoned meats. (Again, the pork at Bistro Vendome, is the BEST we've ever had. It is moist, perfectly cooked and so flavorful.) The accompanying French fries or potato gratin are decadently yummy, rich and well seasoned. (We also have previously enjoyed the delicious escargot.) The Bistro burger (with fries) and flat iron steak (with salad and fries) are also incredibly yummy. The staff and chef/owner also, so graciously, accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences. The menu changes seasonally, with options maximizing the freshest availability of in-season ingredients. The desserts are reminiscent of the best patisseries in Paris. We always thoroughly enjoy Bistro Vendome! The charming atmosphere, affable and accommodating staff, and authentic, beautifully prepared, delicious, French fare keep us coming back! With excellent, GENUINELY French cuisine, an utterly accommodating owner and host, and a very lovely ambiance, Bistro Vendome is a stellar choice for a delectable meal, in a pretty, townhouse setting. Bistro Vendome is the ultimate neighborhood gem!“

“We had an amazing meal at Bistrot Ha! This was maybe the fourth time I’ve eaten their food, between their sister restaurant Ha’s Snack Bar and Bistrot, and have always been blown away. Every time the dishes are not only delicious but interesting and exciting, and the setting has been consistently fun and lively. I like the attention to details in art, plating and playlist. Every dish is packed with flavor, but the favorite part of my meal were the desserts that ended our night with such a great send off. Desserts change often and can’t wait to come back and see what new thing they have on the board. Definitely two of my favorite restaurants in the city.“

“It’s cozy and they got very good coffee☕️“

“We Share Everything; and this cool place was a great date spot for Tasha and I“

“The oysters were on point!“

“Very good chicken taijin!“

“Edwin was amazing the second we walked in. He was helpful and I will always be impressed by anyone who can memorize food orders. The nachos are amazing and the steak was perfect on top. Next time I’m asking for more guac cause that stuff was amazing. I had the pork special and it was out of this world. The sauce was creamy with the perfect spicy ending and the chop was huge and cooked perfect. The music was classical so it made the date night perfect. BYOB so bring ur own wine. There is a store across the street tho so dw.“

“My favorite place in Hoboken! The owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and every delicious dish is made with love. Great coffee, omelettes and breakfast sandwiches! Cozy ambiance, good music and cool local artwork on the walls. Definitely give this place a try!“

“El mejor ambiente para disfrutar y comer ….“

“Took my husband here for his 64th birthday dinner on a recommendation and was not disappointed! This gem checked all the boxes in my book! We will definitely be coming back!! Thanks to the great bartender and the owners who went out of there way to make sure everything a that Carlos had an amazing experience!“

“very chic place and the food is great! great happy hour drink and food specials. staff is super friendly and place is very clean! I will definitely b back“

“We stayed at the hotel for one night since we had a dinner party across the street on Saturday. It was just a nice, calm place to have breakfast since there wasn't much open right there on Sunday morning. The staff was very friendly. I had scrambled eggs with applewood smoked bacon, potatoes and toast, and my husband had the breakfast burrito, which came with fresh fruit.“

“From the moment you arrive in that place the personel give you a great feeling. Very comfortable hosts, it is a friendly place to enjoy with friends and colleagues or with your date. delightful food, skillful chef, decent pay and generous service. Highly recommended.“

“fantastic place. If you want to support peace, love, and harmony line up outside!“

“One of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had in a while. Stayed there for 3 nights and tried Breakfest sandwich, breakfast burrito and avocado toast. All of them were delicious, especially the avocado toast. Very fresh and well seasoned. Totally recommend.“

“This was a ‘cross your fingers & hope the reviews are legit’ reservation choice because of its location for everyone to get there and home easily from the day’s activities. AND because I needed to believe in their happy hour oysters being good. They weren’t just good…they were grand, glorious, slurpy, briny bites of joy! We devoured them. Drinks were an excellent foil to them for us too. Dinner orders delivered even more plate passing, fork stabbing expressions of delight. Steak was perfectly cooked per the order, as was the salmon. The fresh pasta was tender yet toothsome and melted in your mouth. The ragu on top was well seasoned and full of lamb. Everyone was quite full and the dessert offerings were too wonderful sounding to pass up.. and wonderful they were! Flourless chocolate cake that was rich enough to buy its own home in Manhattan and the fruited cake with a pile of whipped cream made us wonder if we could buy the whole thing and have some again in the morning with coffee. Mila’s delivered on all fronts and we were ecstatic. Go.. especially when you can enjoy happy hour…go even if you can’t do happy hour, you’ll be glad you did.“

“Delicious food, speedy service, their prices are really affordable too. All around great restaurant. My favorite dish is their churrasco!“

“Nice Restaurant and people are friendly and very attentive. It’s atmosphere. Will definitely recommend this place.“

“Un lugar único con un ambiente elegante y relajado para la gente bien. Muy buena comida y buenas atenciones. Su decoración de flores es única!!“
