My first time at Bistro 29. I dined with three friends - one of which recommended it primarily for the chocolate cake. Since I'm gluten-free this was truly a treasure! Three of us had the crepes (gluten-free) which were all excellent. My other friend had...More

Friends recommended this French bistro to us and we weren't disappointed. We stayed at the Courtyard in Santa Rosa and Bistro 29 is walking distance (.6 mile), albeit with a little navigating. We eventually found it by walking thru the shopping mall. Service and ambiance...More

Wonderful ambiance, service and food! We were looking for a locals place, and this little Bistro was perfect. It's located conveniently downtown on 5th St, with plenty of off street parking. I had the cassoulet, and my wife had the steak frites, both of which...More

Loud and a tight fit in but worth it. We always have crepes; savory and sweet. The house buckwheat crepes are nice but a bit heavy for me, i stick to white. All the meats are sublime and the cheeses, over the top! Desserts are...More

We just came back from our second time having lunch at Bistro 29 and, once again, it was outstanding. The scene is delightful in that it is quiet and flooded with sunlight from above and everyone looks their best against the deep red walls that...More

One friend ordered the Scottish salmon. What? Something wrong with the local fish? She said it was delicious. Second person ordered the prix fix dinner with the wine pairing. The items preceding the chicken entree were good but the chicken breasts were over- breaded and...More

We really enjoyed Bistro 29. It reminded us of being in a Paris bistro. I had the duck confit crepe, which was wonderful, but more crepe than I could finish. My husband enjoyed the chicken dish. Service was great too.

Eaten here dozens of times. Always enjoyable. Monday thru Thursday try the $34 prix fixe 3 course dinner. Plenty of delicious food for the low price. Respectable wine list. Friendly & efficient service. Cozy dining room. Family owned and operated. Reservations recommended.

I stopped here halfway home after an exhausting week in the central Bay Area. Had an ambrosial French fish stew, an exalted Sancerre, and a blessed chat with an unhurried wairess. I am renewed. Great quiet place on a weeknight.
