Best Bistros in Longboat Key

Five women went after a movie. Food and service were great. Paris Bistrot is such a wonderful neighborhood find on Main Street in Lakewood Ranch. Always a pleasure to return.

The shrimp and ribeye dishes were delicious. The pork belly starter was disappointing as it was very small, not crispy and it was smothered in a strongly flavored bbq sauce that overpowered the pork taste. I don't know why there was also whole grain mustard when the meat was already doused in strong sauce. I would have preferred at least another 2 pieces of the pork, crispy, with maybe three sauces on the side...bbq, mustard and maybe something like an herbal aioli. The restaurant itself has great sunset views and we'll be there again if staying in hotel.

Only our second visit, we now luv, luv Indigenous. We were greeted promptly, seated promptly and serviced promptly by polite, friendly and attentive staff. The pickled vegetables were delightful, the burger with the duck fat roasted potatoes were delicious and vanilla bean ice cream was scrumptious. We will absolutely, positively both recommend and return. Thx…

They have a very good chef, good wine choices and large beer selection, surprisingly they are not overcrowded (yet) their food is excellent

Excellent food and filet was cooked to perfection!
