Bistro Provence is a great little family-owned French restaurant. The chef and his wife are French and so are some of the waitstaff. The menu is traditional home cooking with a fl...

Best Find! 4/23/2007

My coworker and I stopped in for lunch because we have passed this Bistro before and were feeling a little adventurous. I must say I am glad we ventured in. The food was simply amazing; the lunch specials were a great price even for someone on a budget. You must have the sorbet if you go it?s so fresh and delightful. I will definitely be frequenting this establishment and look forward to sampling what seemed like an extensive wine selection. Pros: Atmosphere, food, Service more

Best French Restaurant 11/9/2006

My family and I dine at Bistro Provence quite often, and as the song say, it is nice to have a place where people remember your name!\r The food is excellent and never pricey, Jean-Philippe created a wonderful wine list and is very knowledgable about it. His parents (the famous Georges and Monique) sold him the restaurant in January, and everything is improving since.\r The staff is very helpful (most of them speak french!!!) and eager to please. \r Do not leave without trying the foie gras, as appetizer and the profiterolles for dessert.\r Bon appetit! Pros: food, wine list, waitstaff Cons: they do not reservation, so, be there early more

My first AND last time to visit! 5/31/2005

I ordered the duck leg over beans and it was not good at all (and I am not a picky eater). I felt like my boyfriend and I were not being as attended to as the other guests. We sat there for about 15 minutes after we finished our meal for a dessert menu. We sat for another 10 minutes after we finished our dessert for the check. I honestly would not recommend this place. The prices are NOT worth the food. Plus, a glass of wine was $7, way overpriced. Pros: Lamps, Bread, Olive Oil Cons: Food, Value, Service more

Nice Place... Average Fare 5/19/2004

Based on 3 separate dinner visits: A great wait staff warmly greets you and takes good care of you during your entire dinner. The menu choices are a great change from the usual dining fare, and the off-menu specials are good. I've found the pate to be outstanding, the entrees (whatever the choice) to be honest, but surprisingly average and the desserts to be beautiful but bland. The wine selection is extensive, but way over priced. Pros: atmosphere, wine list, service Cons: , rest room more

We discovered this fabulous place a couple of years ago. The food is always delicious and beautifully prepared. The place is small, so service is usually good. Only once have we had a bad experience with service. They gave us our desserts at no charge because of it. They have great specials that are not on the menu each time we go. The atmosphere is very romantic. It is our favorite place to go for our anniversary or V-day. The price is moderate, which makes the food even better. We recommend this place frequently and went again a few days ago ourselves. Pros: small size, inexpensive french, delicious food Cons: bathroom, location so-so more

I recommend it 8/28/2003

We have dinner there, at least once a week and we have never been disappointed. My favorite is one of the special Duck in Orange Brown Sauce. Owner Jean Philippe and his right arm Kevin run the place.They are always very attentive and eager to please their customers. It is by far the most authentic french food, and one the best dining place in town. They take reservations, so take advantage of it. Pros: Reservations accepted, Owner operated, Excellent food Cons: Small parking lot, No smoking, No cocktails more

Enjoyable evening 8/28/2003

My wife and I revisited Bistro Provence on our wedding anniversary. We were happily surprised with the changes made there in the last few months. Finally the menu has been changed; they kept alot of the favorites, but they also included Beef Filet Mignon ""Au Poivre"", Whole Fish Flambeed... and they have Original Ceasar Salad, done tableside. My wife loved it. Their wine list is only french, but ranged from $20 and up. The staff is very professional, and made it a great evening. Pros: Authentic french food, Great wine list, Excellent service Cons: No liquor license, Restaurant too small more

Authentic! 8/25/2003

I have been meaning to go to this place for a while. Then with the Tour Of The Stars event, we finally went. It was fabulous! The only negative point would be the big pieces of lavender in the crême brulée. Everything else was great! Next time we'll try the fries that are cooked in an imported oil! Hmmm! Pros: Taste, Size, Atmosphere Cons: Hot when crowded more

Bistro Prevence 7/6/2003

What makes this restaurant truly French is not only the food, but it is owned and run by a French family. The waitstaff are all French speaking. The decor is French - it makes you feel likeytou are dining in Provence. It is one of the only genuine French restaurants (besides the others run by the Guy family) in Houston. Pros: Great food, Ambience, French waitstaff Cons: Need more A/C more
