A little update from Bistro:

We’re now opening at 5:30pm on Tuesdays & Wednesdays — giving you a slower start to the evening, and more time to settle in with a glass of wine.

Perfect for early dinners and long conversations.

French-inspired dining, made for lingering.

Trust the Chef | Faites-nous confiance

This May, we invite you to let go of the menu and simply enjoy the experience.

Our Trust the Chef dining is inspired by classic French bistro culture — where the table is set, the wine is poured, and the kitchen takes care of the rest.

Each evening, we curate a menu around the best seasonal ingredients, creating a dining experience that is thoughtful, relaxed, and a little bit unexpected.

Available throughout May.

Now open 5:30 pm Tuesdays & Wednesdays
