    French onion soup
    Natalia S.

    Glad we discovered this little French bistro just a few blocks up from the Malecón. Quiet, cute little patio among the trees, nice staff, affordable prices, and great small plates. We loved the French onion soup, baked Brie, and foie gras terrine. Classic champagne cocktails also available, of course.

    French bistro food. A wonderful change with nary a totopo in sight. We received excellent service from Edson Reyes whose French is way better than mine. We started out with the house white wine, a French chardonnay that came in an unlaced bottle. Quite drinkable. And, went well with... Salade Niçoise - lettuce, seared tuna (seasoned perfectly), warm potato, haricots verte, egg, tomato, and canned black olives. Very good construction and taste. Next, a bottle of Chilean Camenère - Morandé Valle del Maipo, 2015. Good fruit, but a bit too much tannin. Steak (tenderloin) and frites. The beef was very tender and cooked à point as desired. The fries were crispy. Profiteroles and coffee for dessert. OMG delicious. And, last, a homemade basil infused vodka as a final treat. + Atmosphere (inside) - very bistro like. I know it was contrived, but it is fun and enjoyable. + Bread & butter. Almost French bread with a crispy crust. + Cloth napkins. A b it small and 100% polyester. + Music - traditional French. All part of the atmosphere. + Wi-Fi 0 Flatware. Medium weight "stainless". $1900 for dinner for two, including propina.

    Onion soup split into two bowls and cocotte le cigale

    We walked past this place several times and on this trip decided to stop in. This is such a cute restaurant - just like a small place in Paris. Inside there are many decorations that take you back to France and there is this lovely patio and if you sit in the right spot, you can see the ocean in the distance. We sat outside and started with two glasses of house wine (very nice generous pours). We had: - Onion soup - they split it for us and it was like two normal bowls of onion soup. We told the waiter we only ordered one soup and he said it is one split into two bowls! It was absolutely delicious. - Cocotte La Cigale - very tasty - Grilled artichoke with this wonderful aioli - perfectly done! We took most of it back to the room because the starters and bread were filling. - Profiteroles were wonderful for dessert The servers were very friendly and were always accomodating. It was not too busy because we arrived there at 5:00 p.m. and we did not have a reservation. We were seated immediately outside. The food took a while to arrive but we were not in a hurry so we didn't mind. There were other dishes that we saw come out that I would love to try next time. Our bill came to $765 MX (without tip) which is about $39 US - very reasonable. Definitely will return to experience more good French food!

    Good food and full of flavor. Servers were very friendly. Casual French cafe. I ordered fettuccine pasta with grilled chicken.

    Romantic spot, escargot, fresh baked bread, foie gras terrine. Blended margarita and a kir royal.

    Stopped here for a quick drink and some snacks during our trip to PV. Cute romantic spot right next to the popular church. The service was great, even though our server forgot to put in our order or frites, they made up for it by giving us an aperitif on the house. For the actual food, escargot was pretty good, true to all the other French escargots I have tried. The house appetizer was pretty good and the bread was very soft and warm. The foie gras terrine was okay... not the best I've tried, but not bad either. A little less creamy than I'm used to and a little more bland than I'm used to, maybe not enough Sauternes and sel and pepper used in the making. In addition I was surprised it was not served with some sort of jelly, jam, preserve or fruit... Either way I still recommend this spot as it is very cute and decent French food. The menu is very cute too with lots of poster art thrown in.

    We have eaten here several times during the last couple of weeks. This restaurant is amazing. My only complaint is that their French bread is horrible. I do not understand how a French restaurant can have horrible French bread that is obviously not made fresh daily!!!

    Unique food, lovely decor, outside seating if desired and and fair prices all a 2 minute walk from the Malecon, but a world apart.

    I had such a delicious meal at Bordeaux when visiting PVR and staying at Secrets. We arrived a…read morelittle later in the night as to avoid the long wait so when we did show up, we were able to be seated right away. Our server was over quickly and took our drink order. We also had some bread brought over and water glasses filled up. Many items on the menu sounded great, so I selected a few to try. I started with the Rockefeller oysters, had a cup of the lobster bisque and my main entree was the ratatouille. My hubby ordered the Niçoise salad, the onion soup and the filet mignon (server recommendation). Everything was remarkable and tasted so good. The timing in between courses was perfect as it gave us time to enjoy our dish and take a break before the next one arrived. Our server made sure we had lots of wine and was checking in on us often. The service was fantastic! For dessert, we had a small assortment of items including creme brûlée, chocolate mousse and a tropical fruit pastry. Everything was divine and a perfect way to end the meal. I am so glad we tried this spot during our trip and can't wait to visit again.

The flavor was a little too bland for my liking. The beef Wellington was flavorful and cooked at the perfect temp. The beef bourguignon was melt in your mouth delicious. You have to order the chocolate souffle in advance because it takes 30 minutes to prepare. Definitely worth the effort. We Love this place and go back more than once during our vacation.
