French Restaurants near Bristol, RI

“What a fabulous restaurant. The interior is breathtaking. The service impeccable and the food and cocktails are spectacular. I started with an elderberry spritz…one of the best cocktails I have ever had. The table shared small plates of lobster croquettes and duck drumettes. I will never share the duck again…absolutely delicious. I moved on to bouillabaisse with a side salad, also very tasty. I can’t rave enough about this restaurant. It was a magical evening. This is truly the gem of Bristol.“

“We are so thrilled to have discovered the gem that is Le Central. We have lived in France for a total of 8 years between us and have often lamented that French restaurants in the US rely on reputation and overcharge for nothing special. Le Central's food was fresh, homemade and delicious. Clearly great care is taken in selecting ingredients, hiring staff and running a very interesting beverage program. Bravo, Le Central! We will be back, and hopefully the very capable Tori will be working to take care of us again.“

“Outstanding food. Great service. Ample bar menu. Cozy atmosphere. Always return.“

“What fun! A small, informal restaurant with authentic French food, thanks to the French chef. The specials — like rack of lamb or monkfish — are especially good. It’s BYOB, so you can bring and enjoy a bottle of fine wine without having to pay a huge mark-up. If you forget to bring wine, you can pop over to the wine store just two doors down, on the other side of the ice cream shop. But you won’t have room for ice cream after a delicious dinner at Plouf Plouf.“
