Le Bistrot du Pietri review: our verdict
Here, the music is just as important as the menu: background jazz and live jazz swing evenings give Le Bistrot du Pietri the feel of a club. On the plate, there is a well-run bistro cuisine, featuring beef fillet skewers with Roquefort sauce and tapas, as well as fish, and a Tarte Tatin that also draws crowds for lunch.
The dining room is dimly lit and elegant, with discreet service even when the house is full. Couples come for a dinner that stretches out, friends who love swing gather here, or people stop at noon for a cappuccino and a slice of tart. Those looking for a noisy evening or a meal on the go will be mistaken: you settle in, you listen, and you take your time.
The dish to order: beef fillet skewers with Roquefort sauce. The best time slot: the weekend, for live jazz. The trap: aiming for a lunch on the weekend, since the house opens only at 5 p.m. on Saturday and at 6 p.m. on Sunday.
