The Bistro 1129 College Street, Bowling Green, KY 42101

"Brunch options are a plenty in Bowling Green, and when you want something complex and flavorful, the Bistro has you covered. Definitely recommend reserving a table beforehand, as even a Sunday brunch time fills up quickly. The restaurant itself is in a lovely refurbished house from 1893, the atmosphere is comfortable and a bit upscale. And I mean upscale in the best of ways. Approachable, regardless if you’re in your Sunday best, or like me, jeans and flannel. We had the fried chicken, short rib hash and some French toast. The French toast is a changing chef’s choice, and today was a real treat with perfectly cooked blueberry lemon French toast with whipped cream. The short rib hash was delicious and rich, and the fried chicken had a surprising (and enjoyable) sweetness. The Bistro is a wonderful spot to enjoy some high quality food and relax before the work week begins."

"We had the Beef Stroganoff and the Short Rib hash....both were great! Very flavorful! Portions were great! We did sit in the bar area and with all the windows it was a bit chilly but other than that, it was fantastic!"

"The Bistro is one of the best restaurants in Bowling Green. Our dinner was good but not great as was the case with our two previous visits. There was an error in my dish where they actually forgot to add the short rib in the short rib dish lol. The response was professional and handled properly. Service was good but the metal in the face of the server was not appealing. Not something I would allow as a restaurant owner. Will return without hesitation and stick to the 5 Star menu items we've had previously - The Mediterranean Cod and the Chicken Parmesan. RECOMMENDED."

"4.45 stars Some new items on menu! Meal was very good, some temperature issues but tasty. Drinks still great. ‐--------- Update on review.. had a couple spotty visits from a food choice standpoint but overall still a favorite. Drinks are always good. Wish they would keep blackening seasoning on the menu to better flavor grilled chicken. ‐-------------- One of my favorite restaurants in Bowling Green. Different specials each visit, different desserts each visit, same good service each visit. The rabbit is always a go to but tried the cooks choice burger is always delicious. Get the board for an appetizer that has all kinds of cheeses and meats. A must visit while in BG."

"We stopped in from out of town, and had no regrets. It was one of the best meals I can remember! We tried the Crab Meat Beignets, Harvest Salad, Chef's Chicken (which was a Cajun fried chicken, with grilled pineapple, red beans and rice), and the Shrimp and Grits. All of the food was amazing, and some of the best food we've had! I'd highly recommend. The two cocktails my girlfriend got were also good. The artwork also provides a nice atmosphere!"
