Bar Bête is a small restaurant that offers a variety of dishes, including tuna toast, duck fat potatoes, scallop crudo, and ricotta gnudi. The tuna toast is especially praised for its lightness and flavor, and the chicken liver parfait and steak are considered must-try items. The duck and the wine are also highly recommended, especially the Provençal red that many guests enjoyed. Some dishes, like the ricotta and wagyu steak, were found to be flat or over salted by a few guests, and the leeks and chittara dishes were particularly noted for being too salty. The scallops were delicious, but the portion size was small. The restaurant has a cozy, European wine bar feel, with friendly staff who provide excellent service and help guests choose wines, often natural varieties. The ambiance is nice and suitable for dates or gatherings with friends, although some guests noted that the noise level can be loud, making conversation difficult. The chocolate cake with chocolate frosting remains a favorite and is considered one of the best baked goods. Overall, Bar Bête offers refined yet casual dining with shareable dishes and simple desserts, making it a neighborhood gem worth multiple visits.
