This was my third visit to Bistro de Paris...I am a local and pretty much jumped at the opportunity to have lunchh during Restaurant Week. The alternatives offered (prefix) were wonderful, and I truly enjoyed the food, yet my problem was the poor service offered. As I entered the restaurant I did not receive a greeting because there was simply... More

This is the worst attempt at a French restaurant away, or on, French soil. The worst experience ever. The owner portrays an arrogant demeanor which spills over the unhappy waiters. Very unprofessional, even by the lowest restauranteur standards. In addition, it is unsafe, as a close friend was held up at gunpoint exiting the place. This is one to avoid!

It is really sad when you go to your favourite restaurant and the service really SUCKS! I went there this week due to the Restaurant Week celebration and it took a while to get acknowledged by our waiter. Then, when I place the order with the Fix Prix Menu, i wanted to ask for an additional order but before I... More

Hands down the best food we had in San Juan. The attention to detail, service and food was remarkable. Had the pepper steak and it was amazing. Everyone was raving about the food. Would highly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting San Juan.

I've been a few times, always giving it a chance as there are not many french restaurants in San Juan. The food is just ok, nothing to write home about. It is overpriced, like most french restaurants. I think people come here for the ambiance - it is nicely decorated, feels like a true parisian bistro - and for the... More

We visited this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and had a reservation. They seated us right away at a table for 7. We enjoyed our food and the relaxing atmosphere of the cafe.

The place is nice and frequented by a lot of locals. The food was above average. They attempted to mask the quality cuts of meat by heavy sauces. The dessert were better than the entrees.

We have been dining in Old San Juan most nights. This was recommended. It was by the museum. Very easy to find. Dinner was wonderful. Service was great, our waiter was very personal and very nice! We had the escargot, onion soup, and carpaccio. All were delicious. Wish we would have had the warm Camembert...it looked delicious! The mussels were... More

I have heard of this restaurant for a long time and really expected more. Especially for the price tag. We were a party of 6 and the entrees took over 45 minutes after I finished my carpaccio. Carpaccio de Carne, which was actually a highlight. The wait for the food was ridiculous with no apology from any management. I expect... More
