We'd been wanting to try Ble Bistro for several months and finally made it there yesterday. We enjoyed lunch at their beautiful bar top while watching the Indy 500 on their big screen, which was pretty much the most elevated way to watch the race! Service was attentive and friendly. Also impressive was the ambience and decor, which included some of the most fun and unique artwork I've seen in a restaurant. I sipped on a Ble Dirty Martini while we enjoyed the Escargot appetizer. For entrées, we shared the Beef Bourguignon and the Basilic Poulet. Without a doubt, it was the best Beef Bourguignon we've ever had! We ordered madeleines and chocolate mousse to take home with us -- both were delicious and really satisfied my husband's sweet tooth. :) We look forward to dining at Ble Bistro again soon! read more

I thoroughly loved this place. When looking at the outside strip mall setting, you do nooooooot expect what is happening inside. It's so cute, and it's so well decorated. Loved it. We got there very early, around 4:15pm, so service was extremely prompt. Everyone we encountered was lovely. I had the Napoleon cocktail (the whiskey raspberry one) and the Legion cocktail (the foam and fabulous gold leaf one) - I raved about them both. I love whiskey, but I can almost never find a fruit-forward whiskey cocktail. This hit the spot. I had the steak and frites - it was incredibly flavorful and soft. The frites were slightly under-seasoned, in my opinion, but dipping them in the steak sauce made for the perfect combo. I ate every single bite. My partner had the Croque Monsieur with egg, and he also ate every bite. Again, and as you can tell, we really enjoyed our visit here, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Service was excellent. Michael was wonderful and helpful. The menu is very promising, and there were lots of things that sounded great. The decor is super cute and very well themed. Unfortunately, the food was just not what I was hoping for when I went for French food. The escargot was ok. Definitely full of garlic butter, which was great. Wish it came with more bread so I could soak up the extra butter. My husband enjoyed his entree, but mine was a little disappointing. The mashed potatoes almost seemed like they were from a box. I had hoped they'd be more creamy and buttery. Overall, the food was ok but it didn't feel overtly French, other than a few specific menu items. I'm hoping they find their groove because it's an adorable place and the service was great. I'll try it again after they've been open for a while and hopefully be able to give them at least one more star. read more

Vibes are unique, can't tell if it's authentic to France bc I haven't been there yet Laidback and elegant atmosphere; good for date or friend reunion bc it's very relaxed experience and you don't feel rushed; I enjoyed all the items I got Location kinda interesting because it's in a plaza between Kohl's and Walmart (does not affect review tho) Napoleon 9/10 - was strong but didn't taste too strong; also prob bc it's whisky based and prosecco so I felt flushed in 3 sips The dead in Seine mocktail 9/10; kinda like a fruity mojito; the watermelon didn't taste super artificial (which I'm particular about) Escargot 7.8/10 - I like the sourdough bread dipped in garlic butter; escargot tasted a bit ocean-y Beef Bourguignon 8.5/10 - gravy-like wine reduction sauce with beef; I like how small the veggies were diced; solid standard mashed potatoes Chicken 8/10 - chicken was fine; I like the sauce vodka marinara; was quite hefty all together with the burrata (the cold burrata helped contrast the heaviness a bit) Creme brulee 8/10 I had this dessert like 4 times (in general, not here) and this was the first time I had a satisfying crack read more

We had a wonderful meal here. The menu is relatively small in terms of selections but they are very thoughtfully made and the quality and presentation is superb! Our waiter was fantastic and made great recommendations. We had cocktails from a creative menu, appetizers, main course and dessert. Everything was delicious. I had the escargots and they were the best I have had by far. I highly recommend and will go back soon. read more

Such a cute place! Given the area it's in, you definitely wouldn't expect to walk into what you actually do. It's absolutely gorgeous with pink velvet chairs at the bar, and French inspired interior. We were greeted immediately upon walking in the door. It's smaller than what I was expecting, but I think it works! I will say, probably not the best for large parties over 6-8. Here's what we tried: +french onion soup - very good 9/10 +shrimp pasta - 8/10 (didn't try the shrimp, but pasta was extremely fresh!) +steak fries - 8/10 +creme brulee - 8/10 read more

This was probably the most aesthetically beautiful restaurants I have ever been to. If I could design a restaurant. It would look just like this. I had seen this gorgeous cocktail online asked the waitress what it was. She said it was the Legion. So thats what I ordered. It was just as pretty in person and tasted great as well. Our waitress was really sweet and attentive. I ordered the Salmon my entree. The presentation was lovely. The salmon had a nice, light flavor. It came with a cauliflower puree. The food was good but the atmosphere is what will have you coming back. read more

This place popped upon my social media so of course I just had to try, so invite my girlfriend and we went. When mapped the directions I was confused where it was mapping me because it is in the same area as the local Walmart, I drove around looking for a standalone building so kept passing it! I later realized it was literally in the plaza. So let's just say, from the outside you have no idea that you will be walking into the most sleek, pretty place ever that makes you feel like you are in Paris! They left no stone unturned here, they literally thought of every detail. The chairs, the seating, the lights, the music, the silverware, everything is so on point. When I came it was day 10 of them being open. The server was transparent that they were still working on a few things but honestly I would say there isn't much to work on. While I didn't oder an adult beverage, a couple other tables around me did and they look amazing. My food I ordered was really good, chicken and it had sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and some other yummy stuff, I also had a side of fries which were good. My friend got the Salmon and she said it was also really good. The GM was walking around asking for feedback which was really thoughtful, indicating they just really want to get it right. I strongly suggest you stop in even if just for drinks. read more

I went on opening night, so I was not expecting everything to be perfect. That being said, the service was a little confusing and slow, but our server and the managers were all friendly and kind. We made reservations ahead of time. I communicated with the GM that one in our party is vegetarian to which they responded they could make vegetarian recommendations. With that being specifically communicated, I assumed that there would be thought out dishes which was, unfortunately, not the case. Once I arrived, they recommended two salads to which they could add tofu. The burrata salad is mislabeled as vegan on their menu. I ended up ordering the mix salad with tofu. It was really soggy and quite flavorless. I also ordered the mashed potatoes which were creamy and very delicious! My partner had the Mussels and the French Burger which he really enjoyed a lot. The bread that comes with the Mussels was also fantastic. Super fresh and buttery, absolutely delicious. We also each had a few cocktails - the French Martini and the Napoleon 15. These were both super yummy! The martini was very smooth and had a subtle sweetness while the Napoleon 15 was sweeter but not overbearingly so. I would recommend both. The bar service was quite slow but they'll likely improve with practice. The GM did speak with us before we left, wanting to hear our thoughts which we freely shared. They do plan to make improvements to their menu for those looking for vegetarian and gluten free options. They also plan to have a rotating menu, so I may check back in a few months from now. Despite the disappointing entree selection, my experience was still mostly positive. read more

What a lovely, intimate addition to the northside. We went on a Saturday night and were greeted so warmly right away. It was busy, but not loud at all--everyone kind of settled into their own conversations, which made it feel really cozy. We had a French martini, a Champs Élysées, and a Maison Old Fashioned to start... great drinks all around. For dinner, we ordered the French onion soup, house salad, Basilic Poulet, and a Croque Monsieur. Everything felt thoughtful and really well done. Nothing felt rushed, which made the whole experience even better. We finished with chocolate mousse and an espresso, which was the perfect ending. Honestly, it just feels like a really well put together place. The ambiance, service, food... everything clicked. We'll definitely be back and already plan to bring friends. read more

Very cold atmosphere...not conducive to a "French" experience. Same with the food. It wasn't uniquely French. read more

Location is interesting -strip mall. Interior filled with eclectic classical French mixed with modern art- cool vibe all around. Food was excellent, service a little slow, however we ate on a Saturday night- so not totally unexpected. Had really tasty specialty cocktail and a pasta dish with shrimp- deliciously garlicky. Pasta fresh. Topped off with a lovely crème brûlée. Will return. read more

I really liked this small, strip mall, family French Bistro shoved in next to a Walmart of all places. The space is well appointed and has a nice, relaxed feel to it. Our service was excellent throughout. Everything felt well thought out. We began with drinks from a very creative drink menu. My wife had the Legion with rum Aperol, orange liqueur, gold edible luster and this amazing "house foam." Really attractive as well as tasty drink. I had the Napoleon made with bourbon, raspberry puree, Cointreau, Campari, lime juice and prosecco. If anyone would have told me that bourbon, Campari and prosecco would mix I would have said they were crazy. But, I ordered it and it was excellent. We shared a French Onion Soup for a starter and it was filled with flavor. Good, sweet onion flavor and not overpowered with the broth as so many lesser soups are. For main courses, my wife had the French Burger with brie, caramelized onions and Ble sauce. Not exactly sure what was in the sauce, but she was very happy with it. I had Basilic Poulet. IT is hand breaded herb chicken over a basic-vodka marina and topped with burrata and sauteed garlic mushrooms. What an interesting flavor and texture combination. It all mixed so well. Plus, adding to the unique mouth appeal is the fact that everything is cooked hot, except the burrata which is added cold to the top so it kind of melts in. Great meal. read more

Ble Bistro - Mussels and Cocktail - French Near Me - Noblesville, Indiana

At first I was a bit caught off guard to find out that this place is in an average strip mall setting. However, the restaurant itself is beautifully done on the inside. Tres chique. The menu, as previously mentioned, promised us a wonderful experience. Unfortunately we left a bit disappointed and felt this was an average experience at best. The slow and somewhat unorganized service we credited to the newness of this restaurant. Startup difficulties and that will hopefully iron itself out. The food was mere average. Several of us ordered the onion soup for starters. It looked good and had a lot of melty cheese making for a nice cheese pull, but ... The soup was rather bland and resembled more of an onion gratinee with very little to no broth. I received my entree before my soup appetizer and another guest had to remind the staff several times that she had also ordered soup. I tried to enjoy the Salade Nicoise, but again, bland. And it sure looked and tasted like canned tuna on top of that salad. Bland turned out to be the theme for the night. So sad. Even the pork chops with raspberry sauce and Brussels sprouts were deemed bland. Too bad, because the menu looked so good and we were so excited to try this out, but alas we probably won't be back any time soon. read more

Went to a cute French restaurant for my birthday this year. We usually try places in the city so we picked somewhere that we wouldn't normally frequent. Do I need to go all the way out here again, no but if you're in the area try it out. The French onion soup 10/10. My entree was okay nothing to brag about but the ambiance inside the restaurant is modern an interesting to look at. Our service was good so no complaints there. I do recommend making a reservation since it isn't that big. read more

This location did fool us as it's in a strip mall and we popped in running errands. The vibe inside is lovely and feels very Parisian. We got the shrimp pasta and steak and both meals were delicious. Can't wait to come back for a girls night for drinks and dessert. Our server was very fun and attentive. read more

An absolutely incredible dining experience -- Paris in Noblesville! My partner and I visited Ble to celebrate my birthday a little early, and it was perfection from start to finish. From the moment you step inside, you feel completely transported -- the atmosphere is elegant, intimate, and beautifully designed down to the smallest detail. The service was exceptional -- warm, attentive, and genuine -- and the food was simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can tell that great care and passion go into everything they do here. It's hard to believe this restaurant has only been open a couple of weeks. They're already operating at the level of a well-established fine dining destination. If you're looking for something special -- romantic, refined, and delicious -- Ble is an absolute gem. We will definitely be back! read more

In preparation for our trip to Paris, we dined at Ble French Bristro this evening. Talking with the owner, today was their 4 month anniversary. Excellent food and tonight's wine special didn't hurt. If you want a nice oasis of fine food in Noblesville, give them a try. read more

This was our second visit the first was for appetizers this one was for dinner. We had to get the mussels again, some of the best we have had in Indiana for sure. I got the filet Au Poivre and it was great, they didn't fuss about modifying the sides and the wait staff was very knowledgeable. My wife got the french soup, it was great as well but she was full because she couldn't stop eating the mussels. Bartender Christopher was also great. I dislike the location in a strip mall but but dont let that slow you down. We are very impressed, hopefully they can relocate to downtown Westfield ! read more

I came here for a birthday dinner and we all enjoyed our food. I got the shrimp pasta and it was a great portion and the presentation was great. I got the french fries on the side and they were perfectly cut in my opinion, not too thick or thin. We also all enjoyed our drinks and the restaurant itself was really cute and aesthetically beautiful. Our server Michael was helpful and attentive. Overall i'd come back! read more

A mix big .. mostly good. We have been to Paris several times, so we're probably a bit more critical. Things to consider: for the charcuterie plate...some cornichons, some pate, some crackers. For the entrees: chicken basilica poulet: chicken too crispy and no basil. Otherwise very good. Wine list: please add some French wines....Sanserre is a must!! Server had no idea what a Sancerre is. Cocktails: outstanding! Dessert: chocolate mousse: outstanding and more outstanding! This restaurant has so much potential!! Hopeful they listen to construction opinions! read more

We have eaten at this surprising jewel of a restaurant on multiple occasions. It's location may be a challenge to find as it's located in the former Red Habanero Restaurant location. It's nice to see the restaurants opening week jitters have smoothed into a trained professionally experienced dining room staff. With that said now is time to make critical adjustments to the food and wine list menus. As an example the new Charcuterie Platter needs work,tonights offerings of cubed cheddar cheese, thickly sliced prosciutto, cured sausages consider adding pate, gherkins, pickled vegetables a selection of mustards for $20.00 improve the selection of ingredients and execution of those ingredients offered. Wine list consider offering at least 1 moderately priced Sancerre As a Fresh Bistro offer a Duck dish consider offering a duck confit Offer a light Crepe Entree The desserts both the Crème Brûlée and Chocolate Mousse were exceptional Overall great food and a nice addition to Noblesville dining and restaurant scene read more

Highly recommend this fairly new restaurant (Bistro)!! We went there tonight and it is a lovely place! Delicious preparation and a bonus to have a great selection of gluten free items! Attentive service but not hovering over us. Like France they don't rush you through the meal... it is an experience! read more

The food and service were great. The kitchen needs some help. The appraisers and entrees arrive at the same time. The French onion soup was all cheese and very little broth. It took 15 minutes to get the soup. It took 30 minutes to get the mussels. Both should have taken less than 5 minutes to be served. read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Hamilton County. The service is outstanding - blew us away at some points. The food was incredible, we were scraping our plates. The music and decor is spot on, you can tell nothing was overlooked and they truly truly care about your experience. This place belongs in NYC or London. Absolutely outstanding 1000/10, we can't wait to return and tell all our friends! read more

We have fantastic food in Noblesville and Ble stands up to the competition at a reasonable price. We went old school with French onion and Beef Bourguignon. We ended with a lemon and raspberry cake that may have had the best raspberries I have ever tasted. The decor and presentation was fun and not at all austenatious. I dont think I have enjoyed a French meal this much since Renee's was in Broadripple. I highly recommend and look forward to returning soon. read more

Celebrating our 32 yr anniversary we decided to go to Ble Bistro. My wife got a martini and I got a beer. We ordered the escargot and it was amazing. Dipping the bread in the garlic butter...yum. My wife got the French onion soup and she loved it stating it had a slight sweet flavor. Our entree's, I got the chicken polliard and it was great. Not real hot, but an excellent flavor. My wife got a pork chop. She loved it. Her pork chop arrived 8-10 minutes after my chicken. They obviously screwed something up. Not a big deal. The mashed potatoes were definitely creamy, but not the same quality as the rest of the food. Because of the timeliness of getting the food they gave us a crème brûlée desert for free. It was very good. Overall our experience was excellent. Despite the hiccups, we really enjoyed it and will be back. It's in a weird location (next Walmart), but that is part of its charm. IYKYK. read more

We enjoyed our evening. The food was great, most notably the burrata, French onion soup and the carpaccio. We will be back again.

I SO wanted to give this new French bistro a high rating. Having had beef short ribs on the Champs Elysees that made me swoon I was eager to have something like that locally. Our metro area is almost two million people and only, what, one or two French restaurants? So if the French are a bit snooty about their cuisine - can't blame em - forgive me if I toss some snoot back. In a strip mall next to Walmart? Mon dieu. The beef bourguignon was tasty, but where were the carrots, the pearl onions? The always perfect French omelets were just a little larger than a deck of cards, but without any garni or starch accompaniment on a large white plate. Come c'est triste. Now to the reason we went - snails! Six for $15 without shells, just poor little dark things in dark butter on a plate and scant bread. Digging them out of the shell is half the fun. The waiters during lunch didn't speak French; they were Spanish. So much for my crude high school French. Da tout facon, I sure hope they succeed in this land of breaded pork tenderloin. read more
