During the last ten years there has been a lot of changes in the Rice Village but unfortunately not for the good! However Salento Bistrot remains one of the shining stars of the Rice Village! I have been in and out of this nice restaurant for about 18 years. The food is delicious and the selection of wines is more than just decent. I love the beautiful atmosphere with nice music and the staff is always helpful. I need to add that the staff is bilingual and courteous. My last experience confirmed me that this is one of the few places I feel confortable to eat in the Rice Village. The prices are moderate and for the quality of the food is worth it. Please try the delicious paella and do not miss the flavorful sangria. They also have a patio but I prefer to eat inside. In my last visit I didn't eat dessert because apparently they're not offering the traditional "torta de Santiago" (used to be my favorite ).

Had lunch here with friends and ordered a salad bowl, a steak, and paella rice. The food was decent, but I wasn't a fan of the chicken and sausage in the seafood rice. The chicken seemed a bit stale, and the sausage was reminiscent of Cantonese sausage, overly sweet and not quite complementary to the rice. I recall there used to be squid in this dish, but I might be mistaken. Prices have increased, and the minimum tip is 20%, despite the service merely consisting of food delivery.

Service was slow. Soup and empanadas and salads were good. Waited for a while for our waiter to come back to settle the bill but he disappeared and I had to go inside and tell them we were leaving.

Great & fun brunch place! All timely and quality was great!
The food is okay. The French toast needed cinnamon. I had avocado toast. They need meat on the menu for breakfast. The atmosphere inside was kind of drab. Service was good.

The menu here is a mix of all business. Italian pastas, Spanish paella, hummus and pita, tacos, soups etc. so if you are ever wondering what cuisine to go to might as well end up here ..!Service was good. They were very accommodating to our customized orders for vegetarian food. Over all a very good experience and definitely recommended to try out. Outside seating is very lively, weather permitting...!
