Chez Colette's French Bistro

"A quaint little French bistro. Pleasant attentive waitress and food made the right way. The veal chop with black truffle butter was cooked perfectly and the flavor was outstanding. Maybe the best veal chop I've ever had. The ratatouille which is grandma's recipe is an explosion of flavor in the mouth. I could have eaten a bowl of that with a loaf of bread. I'll be back!"

"This intimate small French restaurant is a gem for those seeking an authentic culinary experience. The food and service is simply amazing, with carefully crafted dishes that showcase the best of French cuisine. I'm always hesitant to try raw meats but the steak tartare is one of the best things I've tasted in a while. Highly recommend for intimate dates and anniversaries."

"One of the best restaurants on the Gulf coast! I have enjoyed dining there for almost five years and finally had to celebrate them here. This is a very small, cozy gem with ambiance to spare. Clever maxims on the entry wall, sultry furnishings- perfect for a romantic or celebratory gathering. The food is exquisite! My photos include the delightful goat cheese salad, a pleasure in every bite. One of the best Duck Confit I've ever had anywhere- the meat so tender and delicious! And to finish- a Chocolate Mousse fit for royalty! Yes, my reviews are always so positive because I only review those places that I truly enjoy! P.S. Superb bread and herbed oil (or soft butter), and, very hard to find, fresh ground pepper at your table! Wonderful!"

"Outside of Burgundy, one of the best French experiences we’ve ever had. Truly authentic, very attentive, along with a fantastic wine list. If you are ever in Belleair Bluff/Clearwater/Tampa/St. Pete, Chez Collette’s is highly recommended."

"We made our reservations for outside and arrived to a beautifully set table out front. It was clear early on that this restaurant has a very special feel to it. The inside is comforting and everything is authentically French- from the wall paintings to the thorough wine menu. All the food served looked exquisite and tasted so, too. The attention to detail is what makes this restaurant a stand out. Very enjoyable dining experience!"
