“I don’t usually write reviews but I had such a great experience at this bar last night. Juan, my waiter, who told my friends and I he is the bartender, the drinks and food he gave us was so great. The portions were a good fit for our party of 4. The steak and hamburger, cauliflower was sooo good and well seasoned. We had the white Negroni carrot-have to come back for it! 😍😍 it was amazing.“

“AMAZING NIGHT !
Birthday night with my friends. We loved the wines, the food was traditional and on top of the French restaurant that I use to try before.
And the waitress (Celia) was amazing, full of stories about Bordeaux and Bordeaux’s countryside.
So I just want to say thank you.
I really recommend Vin sur Vingt.“

“This restaurant is a must-go. The intimate layout and the children’s books lining the walls create a cozy setting, and the staff are all wonderful and attentive. The menu is rotating, but every single thing I’ve eaten here has been incredible and authentic. Some noteworthy highlights are the brussel sprouts, the maritozzo, the pasta al limone, and the bolognese. And if you’re there for breakfast, get a cornetto fresh from the oven!“

“First visit to Bistro Vendome having just moved to this neighborhood. Wonderful smells greet you when you enter the front door (always a good sign). Menu was appropriate, the food was excellent, the service was attentive and the ambiance was pleasant. My wife and I plan to be regular patrons. If you like elegant French cuisine at a reasonable price, Bistro Vendome is a smart choice.“
