Description

Perspective
The restaurant Le Bistro operates along Avenida Insurgentes on Isla Cuale,[2][3] an island in the Cuale River in Puerto Vallarta's Zona Romántica neighborhood.[4] It has a "pleasant" tropical atmosphere[5] and a garden next to the statue of John Huston at the entrance.[6] Le Bistro plays recorded as well as live jazz,[7][8] with a collection of approximately 1,000 albums.[5] It has been described as romantic.[8] Fodor's has said Le Bistro has a "lush, riverside setting with cool jazz",[9] as well as: "It's a mellow, grown-up venue with a good restaurant. There's usually bossa nova or jazz Wednesday or Thursday through Saturday after 8 pm in high season."[10] The travel company has also described Le Bistro as "Greco-Roman meets the tropics modern" and one of the city's "original gourmet" restaurants, with "river-view dining among stone pillars and stands of towering bamboo".[11] The interior has also had wicker settees, chairs with zebra print,[12] an Art Deco black-and-white tiled bar, and marble-topped bistro tables.[13]
One guide by Moon Publications says, "For indulgently rich but good food and a luxuriously leafy atmosphere the showplace [Le Bistro] is tops... The atmosphere is European and elegant, and decidedly more upscale and refined than the River Cafe. The river gurgles past outdoor tables, giant-leafed plants festoon a glass ceiling, and jazz CDs play so realistically that you look in vain for the combo."[3] The Rough Guide to Mexico says, "Come here for an upscale, predominantly seafood menu served in refined surroundings or alfresco, soothed by cool jazz."[14]
Los Angeles Daily News has said Le Bistro is a "pleasant" establishing serving "blazing shrimp lucifer and cool jazz".[15] The restaurant has also served crepes, tampiqueña (marinated beef), seafood,[16] filet mignon with mushrooms and a baked potato, as well as coconut shrimp tempura and wine.[8] Other menu options have included shish kebabs,[17] Cuban and Mexican soups, duck with blackberry sauce, Cornish game hen, and sea scallops with jicama coleslaw.[12]
Reception
A guide published by Moon recommended the roles supremo as an appetizer, as well as the chicken crepes.[3] The Rough Guide to Mexico said, "[Le Bistro is] on the expensive side, but is a great place to wind down."[14] Fodor's has called Le Bistro "a long-standing favorite"[18] and has said the business "may be the chicest restaurant in town".[13]
