editorial profile:



A wooden rooster and a pig dressed as a chef are often telltale signs of a French restaurant with a penchant for country décor. Bidwell Street Bistro happens to have both and it also boasts a Parisian-infused menu with touches of Californian sentimentality. This is a restaurant for diners who seek a destination place to dine rather then just a place to eat. Comfortable and classy, the restaurant is low-key and quiet allowing diners to talk to one another with ease. The menu starts with appetizers such as a classic French onion soup, escargot and a bowl of Creole prawns with Prince Edward mussels. Lunch brings sandwiches such as a grilled bratwurst and pastas that incorporate seasonal ingredients. The dinner menu has a handful of entrées that have endeared Bidwell Street Bistro to local foodies, such as duck confit with poached quince and roasted sweet potatoes or herb-crusted rack of lamb.
