We were here for dinner last night and I can't say enough good things about this place -- the service, the atmosphere, the food all fabulous. I had the pork chop with pomegranate sauce and my husband had the lamb chops. Both cooked perfectly. The chef delivered our meals to the table. The owner stopped by to chat and our server Emily was great as well. I highly recommend also the chilled asparagus with blue cheese. Definitely check this place out! read more

I highly recommend this restaurant!! My fiancé and I never had french food and have been dying to try it. We saw the reviews online and decided to give this place a try. We will definitely be back! Every single thing from the appetizer to dessert was to die for. We got the snails for the appetizer and they were so tender and the garlic sauce on them was amazing. The owner brought us another loaf of bread to dip in it. The owner and our waitress made the experience even more enjoyable. You have to go! read more

Bertrand - Beef with mashed potatoes and halibut. They are called something fancy that I don't remember but they were both amazing! - French Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A true gem of a neighborhood restaurant tucked away from the road so the sidewalk tables are just part of the garden setting. The (lunch) cuisine was outstanding and was served in a very friendly and inviting atmosphere. My day started off well & this experience really just enhanced my overall day. I will be back. read more

Really nice spot with simple and tasty food. Not fancy French with tons of cream and cheese; Healthier and good. Owner is generous and relatable. We really just accidentally discovered it. Definitely check it out. Nice outside with flowers. BYOB read more

They have Tartines! The old restaurant had its charm, but this has space and parking. Set in a quiet area with a great view of the outside, and it has outside seating! Went for lunch and already wanting to come back for dinner. We ordered and split the beouf Bourguignon and a cassoulet with a tartine de jabon, which has a delicious combination of pickles ham and olives. To finish we couldn't resist to a banana and Nutella tartine. Next time we will be back for quiches and the croquet monsieur, amongst other great choices. read more

I'm so glad we checked this place out! Our server, Catie, was super nice and on top of everything! This is somewhere to bring a bottle of wine, relax, and DINE. The escargot was some of the best I've ever had. I LOVED the scallops, and my boyfriends strip steak was cooked perfectly and VERY good as well. Heads up, BYOB!!! Also, it's kind of hidden, in a little plaza back by the citizens bank. read more

Delightful French BYOB gem near Mt. Lebanon, Scott Twp and Greentree. We had a lovely experience and enjoyed the food immensely! Will definitely return! read more

Enjoyable lunch outing. Closes at 2 so, go early. BYOP. We each had a different entré...Nice experience. American cuisine more than French flavor. read more

Visiting from Chicago and found through Yelp. Great atmosphere at this quaint French restaurant. The duck and scallops were delicious and the service was excellent. The friendly ambience led to engaging conversations with other diners. An unexpected addition to the wonderful experience. read more

A small, cozy French bistro with an adorable four legged owner named, you guessed it, Bertrand. Had dinner here the other night and it was lovely. Do yourself a favor and order the roast chicken breast. It was the best piece of chicken I ever had. read more

Been meaning to write this review for a while. This little French Bistro has fantastic food and a wonderful atmosphere. Service was impeccable and Lou (the owner) made us feel right at home. Highly recommend and it is BYOB! read more

Super cute hidden BYOB. The staff is so friendly. The owner visits every table and is so welcoming. The decor is pleasing, but the tables are small. We started out with escargot, Pate, and the shrimp cocktail as appetizers. The escargot was delicious! I'm not a big fan of pate, but everyone else raved! The shrimp was great, but $18 for 4 shrimp? For our meals we had the steak au poivre, lamb, beef bourgingnon, and scallops. The steak could've been more tender, but the rest of our meals were amazing. The scallops were perfect. We shared the pommes frites, asparagus, and haricot verts as sides. All were good but the beans were my favorite. I would like to try this place for lunch next. Especially when the weather is nice and I can sit outside. It's a bit pricey for portion but with it being BYOB, it offsets. Being that this place is 10 minutes from my house, I will be back. read more

Great little gem!! Staff is wonderful and food was great! It was nice to meet the owner Lou. Talking to Lou is like catching up with an old friend. We will be back!! read more

Came to Bertrand's for the first time on Friday night for dinner with friends. It is BYOB which is great and can bring your own wine and there is a corkage fee. We ordered the snails and they were amazing! I've never had snails before and I am going back for just those again! All of our entrees were amazing and the cheesecake, which is homemade was phenomenal. We will be back! read more

What can I say! Food is absolutely delicious! Service is first rate! The owner, Lou is delightful. Thank you for having us for dinner! My girlfriends loved it! Please give this place a try, you will NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Lou, for a wonderful evening!!! read more

What a great spot and hidden gem in Scott Township! The decor is very fitting for a French restaurant. We had a group of four go last Friday and everything was delicious from the bread to the shrimp cocktail, the entrees and Pom frites as well as the dessert. I had the filet medallions over puréed potatoes and mushrooms and it was very good. The filet was cooked perfectly (medium). One of my friends got the rosemary crusted chicken with spinach and tomatoes. It was a generous portion and I tried a small piece-wow; yummy! The owner Lou came around to all the tables and we got a chance to chat with him. What a nice man! He sent desserts (custard like) over for us to share as well as small glasses of Schnapps to conclude our dining experience. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The tables could be a bit bigger since they have chargers at each place setting. The acoustics are a bit loud due to the small size. We can't wait to return and try other dishes! read more

I have one word...WOW. Lou and his team offer some of the best food in pittsburgh. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. My family and I discovered Bertrand about a year ago and it has been a fan favorite ever since. The french onion soup is to die for and my favorite thing on the menu. Lou always makes sure you leave happy and makes a point to converse with every table. Great service and great food. YOU HAVE TO GO. read more

Great little gem!!! Food was fantastic: halibut done to perfection, appetizers too. Service was impeccable as well. At the end of dinner the owner came to check on our dining experience. We got idea where he got his food, how important is for him to have everything fresh ( he was proud to say that he doesn't have a freezer in the kitchen), strictly fresh ingredients!! We will be back!!!! read more

Amazing restaurant, wonderful owner, great food, awesome vibe, highly recommended. We had Escargot for entree, Australian lamb, and halibut for the main course and cheesecake for the dessert. read more

The long-awaited recreation of the wonderful food, service and atmosphere previously experienced at the bistro Tartine in the West End has taken place at Bertrand in Mt. Lebanon. It's like a homecoming, with many of the same terrific menu items refreshed for this lovely spot. Twelve classic entrees appear on the dinner menu, while quiches, salads, sandwiches, and cafe specialties such as beef bourguignon are offered at lunch. This is a gem not to be missed. read more

Excellent restaurant. I had the salmon with dill and my husband had the scallops. The cheesecake was absolutely to die for. The servers and owner are great. Great service and great food. We highly recommend this place. read more

A wonderful jewel. Friendly staff. Authentic food. I had the coquilles Saint-Jacques. The pot de crème was to die for! A welcome addition to the Mt Lebanon scene! We shall return. read more

Fabulous new restaurant in Mt Lebanon! Stunning romantic French decor paired with delicious cuisine. We were delighted with our appetizers of stacked salmon with crème fraîche, and pâte with toasted baguette. Dinner entrees were equally delicious! Rack of lamb was done to perfection and the poached salmon with lemon was tender and flavorful. Can't wait to go back! read more

Definitely worth checking out if you're interested in comfort food mixed with French cuisine. Loved their Bourguignon!

We have favorite little places in Paris, and Bertrand is now our favorite little French place in Pittsburgh. Flavor-filled food, beautiful presentation, lovely ambiance. We enjoyed lamb chops and scallops- both were melt-in-your-mouth good. Highly recommend. Make sure you meet the owner. He's truly the personality of the place, and deserves 5 stars of his own. read more

I came here for lunch with a friend and we both loved our dishes. I had the quiche with goat cheese and leeks, served with lyonnaise potatoes (which needed more salt). I'll be back to try the other great options on the menu! The atmosphere is lovely. I do wish there was a dessert menu (right now, there's a Nutella tartine, but it's served on grilled bread instead of a crepe). I smelled cigarette smoke wafting from the back, like I did when this used to be Arpino. Hopefully it won't permeate the place like it did before. read more

Bertrand is a super welcome addition to south hills dining. Good location and a patio for outdoor dining in season too. Plenty of free parking. Easy to get to from other parts of the city as well. Food is excellent with a good range of dishes mostly French country style. We had chicken, pork chop, and coq a vin. All excellent. The chicken liver pate was all world great. Don't miss this gem! read more

Bertrand's had been highly recommended but we had not been out to a restaurant for over a year with covid. Now that we are vaccinated, we tried it. It was fabulous! We had an appetizer, split both entrees since they were recommended (scallops and lamb), and finished the evening with chocolate pots de creme. Everything was delicious! Highlight of the evening was meeting and visiting with the owner, Lou Bucci, who is exceptional! Our first trip but not the last (will be back many, many times!). read more

We are foodies and absolutely love Bertrand, it's definitely a hidden gem in the South Hills! The waitstaff is kind and attentive, the food is outstanding and the owner is the kindest gentleman ever! The house salad, scallops and chocolate pots de creme are our favorites! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Outstanding and well priced French cuisine. Greta decor. we were there on a day when it was too hot, but the outside seating should be a delight. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary; we could not have chosen better. It is BYOB, so plan ahead. Great restaurant; I hope it stays a long time. read more

This is a very good restaurant. I love the idea of it being in the south hills. Most of the best places are downtown except for Arlecchino. This is a nice step in the right direction for Mt Lebanon. The food was very good. The owner, Lou, walks around to ask you how the food tastes. He's very concerned about your thoughts on his dishes. They are very efficient. The servers are very friendly. The only thing I could recommend to them is just slow down slightly. The whole meal felt rushed. It was as if they could not wait to get us out so they could seat the next table. Other than that, I would recommend trying it. We will be back. They are also open for lunch and that menu looks great too. read more

The food was perfectly executed, the service warm and gracious, and our conversation with the owner, Lou, made it one of our most delightful dining experiences in recent memory. My wife and I are already planning to return at least once a month to work our way through the menu. read more

Great venue for our 25th anniversary. Quant and warm location with attentive staff and owner. Rack of lamb, filet, pate and desserts were all incredible. Brought two great bottles of wine (BYOB) and had a fantastic evening. Highly recommend! read more

WOW! I feel like this resounding exclamation is the one and only way to begin my review. A classic French menu (during both lunch and dinner seatings) that can suit anyone's tastes and a lively, personable and amazing staff (especially Bertrand the dog, the "true" owner!). There are very few restaurants that I have been to that have a perfect melding of personal touches and also incredibly well executed food, but Bertrand is it! I've been here for both lunch and dinners and can say that both are worth your while; for lunch, the salads and quiche are perfect to satiate your afternoon appetite. The dinners are certainly the true star of the show, though! The BYOB option is such a great feature, and the ambiance here in the evening is inviting and comforting. The warm bread served with our appetizers was a thoughtful touch, and the vichyssoise soup was an excellent start to our meal. I've been here a few times for dinner and both the chicken á l'orange and the scallops I had were served to perfection. Living in Montréal nearly full-time for the past 5 years, I eat a lot of French food, and I can say Bertrand lives up and exceeds my dining experiences there! The chef at Bertrand, Vince, has a passion and attention to detail that flies out of the kitchen with delicious fervour. The food, of course, is one thing, but I can't say enough incredible things about the personal touches from the owner and staff. Lou, the owner, comes around with his dog, Bertrand, and greets and chats with every table. You immediately feel that this person cares about the quality of your meal and experience. This type of attention is sorely lacking in most restaurant experiences, and one that I commend and applaud Bertrand for. If you are in the area, and even if you aren't, go to Bertrand for a unique and lovely dining experience! read more

We had dinner last night with our son in the outside dining area. We started with the escargot and liver pate. Both were excellent. For dinner I had the scallops, my son had the vegetarian dish and my husband ordered the Breaded Chicken with spinach and tomato. We didn't have a crumb left on our plates. The food was just outstanding. We have eaten there quite a few times and will continue to go back. Emily, our server was fabulous. And of course., Louie stopped by and chatted. What a great evening, The outside dining is one of the best in Pittsburgh read more

Really awesome and authentic French food in a cozy spot, great portions. Staff provided excellent service all evening. We will be coming back here for sure. read more

I love this place. I have been here 4x now and have enjoyed every meal I have had. The Pork chop this past Saturday was amazing, honestly one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The owner walks around and engages his customers and you can tell he genuinely wants you to enjoy his food. Great place to eat and highly recommended. If you get lucky you might even get to pet the Bertrand the dog as well! read more

This place was amazing!! Not only was the food spot on, Lou & Bertrand are very welcoming. Highly recommend the scallops and cheesecake dessert! We will definitely be back!! read more

had dinner there for the first time. the place is a real jewel - a real find - just a superb restaurant in the South Hills. The redesign, noise level, vibe is top notch. service was 5 star. the food was just excellent. the shrimp cocktail app was one of the best ever; the steak poivre was special and the desert pot de creme was almost a pure soft chocolate fudge with whipped cream. the owner came and spent time with us and we all enjoyed getting to know Bertrand - the real owner - his dog. simply cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Bertrand's is truly a hidden gem. Charming and elegantly quaint. With the decor and French music playing, you feel as if you're eating in a countryside restaurant in France. Great lunch and dinners selections and friendly servers. The halibut and 1/2 rack of lamb are to die for. This time my friend had the Poulet l'orange and loved it. Even if you are full, you simply must order the French cream cheese cake... it's like nothing you've ever tasted... sooooo good! The owner, Lou, who is always visible makes it a point to welcome and talk with the guests.. always eliciting feedback. It's BYOB and priced reasonably. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!!! read more
