French Market Bistro

I celebrated my birthday dinner here, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting perfect for a special occasion.The food was absolutely delicious. The crab and Brie soup was the best - creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor. The chargrilled oysters were a standout as well, perfectly cooked with a delicious buttery garlic sauce. Our entrées were equally amazing, beautifully presented and full of flavor.The service was top-notch.The vibes in the restaurant really added to the experience--chic yet cozy, with just the right level of energy. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate. I'll definitely be back!

French Market Bistro is a must! Everything is wonderful. The food is fresh and delicious with nice presentation. The ambiance of this restaurant is one of my favorite things about it. It's a perfect date night, birthday or anniversary celebration or whatever experience you would like restaurants. Tonight, our server was Hayden and the service was on point. The bartender made a perfect blueberry mojito. I've been here several times and have never been disappointed.Reservations are not required but if you are really looking forward to eating here I would recommend making one.

Just had my second dining experience at French Market Bistro, and I'm officially in love with this place! The service is a perfect 10/10--everyone is so friendly and sweet, it feels like dining with old friends. And the food? Absolutely fantastic. Both times, my party and I kicked things off with the chargrilled oysters topped with crab--an absolute must-try. The first time I visited, I had the scallops, which were simply divine. This time around, I went for the stuffed grouper, and it was just as excellent. I sipped on the most refreshing French 75 I've ever tasted. To top it all off, the Butterfinger crème brûlée is to die for. Seriously, save room for dessert! Can't wait for my next visit!

Make a reservation.Met our friends for a midweek dinner on the way to New Orleans. This place was packed! Lucky to find a parking spot. So glad that they were able to book a reservation a couple of days earlier. Surprised at how warm and cozy the French Market Bistro feels even though it occupies a large part of a strip shopping center. Our friends are regulars here and I can see why. Great service. Delicious food. So cute and cozy.Started with the warm house bread and the fried asparagus. The bread was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. So good. Dip the asparagus in the homemade blue cheese dressing. Yum!! I was in the mood for duck after reading the reviews. The Duck Michael served with a blackberry sauce was delicious. Actually needed an extra side of the blackberry sauce it was that good. Traded the garlic mashed potatoes for a side of Parmesan grits which paired nicely with the duck.My hubby had the roasted vegetable pizza. It must have been good because he polished off the whole pie!! Our friends had the choice cut filet mignon with Fleur-de-sel butter and the sea bass special with a side of asparagus. Great choice for dinner in Baton Rouge, but make sure to make a reservation.

Did a birthday dinner at the French Market Bistro mid-week and the place was busy - a good sign if you ask me! Service starts with warm bread and butter. I had the Ground Beef Cannelloni, a very flavorful dish, full of spinach, cheese and meat. Sauce is on point, not too chunky - covered in cheese. Linens on the table with beautiful wooden accents give a very warm and inviting experience.

The pork chop was horrible. Tough and flavorless within with only little seasoning on top. Grits were over salty in areas. Disappointed as the other things were good minus dessert. Which was supposed to be nutter butter brûlée but came out lemon blueberry. Let us know so we can have an option instead of bringing us the wrong thing. The brûlée was also not done right. The top was too burnt and the custard too thick. The char oysters were fantastic. The Caesar was well balanced and delightful. The prosciutto pizza was also good as the goat cheese was mild and mixed well. Do love they have quite a few non alcoholic choices which is nice to have options. Would possibly give another chance as the quality is there.

Made reservations for dinner. I would suggest making reservations unless you like sitting at the bar. Our server was excellent. The ambiance for dinner was quite dark at first. The food was good. Lots of brown tone colors. Not the prettiest looking food, but it did taste good. The eggplant appetizer was our favorite part, even though it had crab pealing mixed into the lump crab meat.

French Market Bistro is a favorite for a nice lunch out. It's so nice and the service is always very good. From soup to salad to appetizers and entrees, everything is such high quality.

The food! The ambience! AND The staff did not miss! Perfection.French Market Bistro is a hidden gem!

Hands down the worst steak I've ever been served, and at $50 for ribeye and side I won't step foot back in this place. Steak was overcooked to medium, not medium rare as ordered. I can get over that, but it was tough, minimal marbling, and no crust on the steak. Nothing else we had at the table was anything to write home about as well. Really wanted to love this place.
