I love the mood/ambience of the place and the service. The french food is also so well executed and is delicious. Definitely a great place to celebrate for a special occasion. We had the aioli fries, which were amazing, onion soup (very good but slightly salty), tartar ( had a rich and fun variety of flavors), and two other main dishes. Would definitely come back. read more

Cozy French bistro with warm romantic vibes. We started with the escargot, which had a garlicy & buttery sauce with a side of baguette. The sauce could have been flavourful, and the baguette could have been toasted with more butter. For the main, the duck confit was on point with its perfect balance between a crispy exterior and tender interior, perfectly paired with a sweet cherry glaze. The chocolate soufflé is another must-order item and the perfect ending to the meal. It was fresh out of the oven, with a crispy crunchy top and moist interior. I especially loved the side of ice cream and jam, and the portion was more than enough for two people to share! read more

One of the best Pittsburgh restaurant. Ribeye stake and the fries are fabulous The service perfect, the price is sky high but worth the investment 2nd floor has more space and quieter read more

C'est si bon!!! I was lucky enough to have a date night here with my wife tonight, and let me tell you, it was amazing! We had been wanting to try this place for quite some time, but could never seem to be able to get a reservation on a night that worked for us - when my wife called me to tell me that she finally managed to get us a table, I smiled widely. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and taken upstairs to our table, right by a nice window in the back corner. Our server was prompt, and kindly took our drink orders, which did not take long to receive. Service was excellent throughout the evening, by the way - they paid great attention to details, and made sure we felt comfortable and welcome. We tried the tartare, escargot, and chicken liver pâté as our appetizers, and all were distinctly delicious and well-prepared. If I had to pick a favorite, it would most likely be the pâté. If I had to change one thing, it might be to have a small basket of soft, warm crusty French bread to go with the escargot, instead of two small toasted slices. There was a ton of that delicious garlic butter left over that we couldn't mop up - maybe it's for the best, since we definitely enjoyed a very rich meal. Our entrees were absolutely fabulous - I had the boeuf Bourguignon and she had their delicious Sous vide / roasted chicken breast with mushrooms and mashed potatoes. Such delicious, refined versions of the simple dishes from which they were born! We enjoyed each and every bite - often sharing across the table because they were so delicious!!! We finished the evening with their Gran Marnier soufflé, which you must order at the beginning of the meal (cooked to order, and takes a while to bake) and it was an astounding experience! It's served with delicious vanilla bean ice cream, creme Anglais, and tart cherries in Gran Marnier. Such a wonderful dish. Let me tell you, we are just getting started with this place! We shall most definitely be back, and soon! Many thanks to all of the staff for such a marvelous evening! Merci Beaucoup! À bientôt! read more

You know how places are hyped, you get super excited to go for your birthday, you know it's expensive but you think, "what the hell" it will be worth it? Poulet Bleu is all but that last bit. Hyped: took a month to get a rez for my birthday. Arrived to be seated in the odd and not the least bit cool upstairs. Oh well. Expensive: we had one glass of wine, one beer, one appetizer and one shared entree. Four items: $150. Worth it? Absolutely not. Ribeye and fries are anywhere and theirs isn't so special. But it was the really bad service that puts me in the disappointed category. Rez at 7pm, we left at 9:30. 2.5 hours of joy? Nope. That's how long it takes to get service that you have to request from beginning to end: can we order drinks? Can we place our dinner order now? More water please. Is there a dessert menu? May we have the check? We were in the land of forgotten diners. Server took the orders of TWO tables seated after us. Ordered 40 minutes in when we asked to order. One hour: told the kitchen was backed up, as the tables seated AFTER us were served. Not a kitchen problem, server error. Runner brought dinner at an hour in. Server didn't check back....it's small up there and he was right there. Asked for the check at over 2 hours in. Check was wrong. Was told they carried over drinks we had at the bar. Did I mention we didn't have drinks at the bar? Look....this restaurant group does a great job of bringing innovative places to Pittsburgh. Thing is, if you are going to charge waaay above market price for your food, best be sure it's impeccable and that service is above reproach. Or at least hire folks that apologize when things go badly, as this experience did from beginning to end. At first we thought "meh, off night for the guy. We will try again another time". But on further thought, while the service was yucky, the food was fine. Just fiiiiiine. $100 ribeye and fries needs to be much more than fine. read more

I really enjoyed Poulet Bleu's decor, drinks and most of the food. The service was also excellent. We decided to share a bunch of petit plats instead of ordering entrees. The chips and dip with the salmon roe on top was one of the best appetizers I have had. The baguette and pommes frites were perfect. The scallops St. Jacques were enjoyable and rich, however, I have no basis for comparison. When we go again, I probably would skip this dish because there are many other appetizers we would like to try. The soufflé was good too, but if I had to do it again, I would have gone with the beignets or another sweeter dessert. I was thrown off a little because we were told about the two soufflés in the middle of our meal because they take about 30 minutes to prepare. There are other dessert options if a large sharing soufflé doesn't interest you. The only dish we didn't like was the lobster spaghetti. The flavor was not what I expected. The sauce was on the sweeter side (I would have preferred a more savory sauce) and herbaceous. For $24, this was a pretty big miss for a petit plat. I look forward to going again and exploring more of the menu read more

Good, service, decor, ambiance. Great place for solo or group dining. Neighborhood feel !

I have been wanting to check this place out for years ever since I moved to pittsburgh so this one has been a long time coming. I have to give h to is place 5 stars for the ambiance alone, adorable outside seating patio with beautifully decorated inner dining room are. The kitchen is open and delightful to watch all the various meals being plated. The food was excellent, highly recommend coming for for a fancy date night or if you just want to treat yourself. Their beef tartar appetizer is amazing and the crispy potato chips add such a lovely crunch! wish I could have an entree sized portion... and their salmon was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend it! read more

I would rank Poulet Bleu as one of the best meals I've eaten in Pittsburgh. The ambiance, the food, the service. It was perfection. My friend and I made reservations over a month ago. Poulet Bleu is a hot place to visit! Making reservations is a must. I was so happy to see Bordeaux on the wine menu! So a glass of that was definitely had. We decided to get a few different things to share. We got - escargot, tartare, 2 sides (mushrooms and asparagus) and gnocchi. For 2 people - this was WAY too much food. But we wanted to try all the things. I think one app, one side, and a shared entree would have been plenty. But - it was worth it and every morsel was phenomenal. My favorite part of the whole meal was the gnocchi. It had a brown sauce, super light cheesy gnocchi (seriously best gnocchi i have ever had) and vegetables. It was SO good. I highly recommend getting it. Did I mention we also got the souffle for 2? Yeah - of course we did! Get it. It's worth it. Just don't get as much food as we did :) Go and make reservations! read more

I've never been to France, but if I ever make it there, I hope it tastes like Poulet Bleu. From start to finish this was by far one of the best meals I've had in a long while... and we've been visiting some delicious places recently. Our waiter, Timothy, informed us of the best way to explore the menu - either stick to small and share or have the Gran Plats. Since my husband wanted steak, we decided to forego the small plates... But I HAD to get the French Onion Soup. Picture Julia Child in her apron slaving away in the kitchen all day just to serve you this crock of soup. That's what this soup tastes like. Beef broth, onion, french baguette, melting cheese, and topped with chives. If I wasn't in a public setting, I would have picked up the bowl and slurped the rest. For our Gran Plats, I selected the Ramp Pesto Gnocchi and Timothy recommended the side of carrots. If the server recommends something as obscure as carrots, you listen! Now don't get me wrong, I loved my pillowy soft gnocchi and veggies (so fresh and perfect for spring) but I LOVED those carrots!!! Please everyone, ORDER THE CARROTS!!! The sweetest of the carrots combined with the light but creamy creme fraiche and the texture of the hazelnut was just blissfully good. Though incredibly full, we couldn't go up a French restaurant and not get dessert. Splitting a creme brulee had to be done. Crispy on top while soft in the custard with some delicious berries on top - what more could you ask for? I may not have been to France, but I've now been to Poulet Bleu and tonight that was just as good. PS:. Thank you Timothy for the carrot recommendation!!! read more

First impressions as you walk in: nice patio at the entrance for outdoor seating. We were brought upstairs and seated in a bar area (which seemed to be one of two in the restaurant). This was our anniversary dinner, which my wife had called ahead of time to tell them because we were concerned about the stated time limit and wanted to be sure we wouldn't be rushed out. She did not ask for a specific table, but it would have been nice not to be seated in the middle of a row of very cramped tables. If I had to guess from the decor, I would have thought I was in the Caribbean, so it almost felt like a homage to French imperialism rather than France proper. Off-putting. The food was, at best, meh. The cheese board was mostly Californian cheeses rather than French. I ordered the flat iron steak medium rare and it came so underdone, I'd call it black-and-blue. We also ordered the family-style roasted carrots with creme fraiche... creme fraiche is meant to be slightly sour, but this tasted like whipped sweet butter. No idea what happened there. We ordered the chocolate soufflé for two. It was underdone to the point of raw batter in the middle. The service was definitely the worst part of the experience. We waited ages for water to be refilled, I was never asked if I wanted more wine. For the price point they're charging, you have to hit a much higher standard for quality of food and service than what they delivered. read more

Exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was wonderful and inviting and the staff were very attentive. The food was spectacular. We ordered the Family Style Roasted Carrots, the Duck entrée, escargot, the aligot potatoes, and got extra baguette. It was an amazing expirience and I will definitely be back again! :) read more

really cute and intimate restaurant in the Lawrenceville neighborhood. I enjoyed the ambience, decor, and color scheme. The food was generally good, I enjoyed the liver pate and my steak frites entrée, but my French onion soup was lacking and tasted almost rubbery. The chocolate soufflé for dessert was promising, but lacked flavor and wasn't remarkable. I enjoyed the wine list and cocktail menu. food was overall good, but not worth it for the high price. read more

We went to Poulet Bleu on a Friday with a reservation at 5:15pm. Perfect time for us because it seemed like we were one of the first people to arrive at the restaurant. With the cute esthetic inside, we were transported to a cozy home with a large open kitchen of chefs waiting for our order. Starting with the cheese plate: 4 options includes cheeses of different pungent flavors, a fruit spread, lavender honey, toasted almonds, and baguette. Fantastic start with our wine, a glass of Chenin Blanc and a glass of Blanc de Blanc. Dinner consisted of Duck Confit (originally meant to be a starter, however I thought the portion was plenty enough to be the meal), Potato Gnocchi, Pomme Frites, and the Algot Potatoes. All were literally magical and cooked to perfection. The duck had the perfect crisp to some of the edges with the moist inside that melted in your mouth. Gnocchi were quite literally pillows with flavor of bacon and brussel sprouts. Pomme frites came with a garlic aoili that we declared was what the papa johns garlic sauce wish it were. We didn't end up getting a soufflé (what they are most famous for) because we were stuffed! They take 30 minutes to prepare, so we'll order it first next time. read more

I'm really sad that I think I lost my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. I've came Poulet Bleu multiple times though, yesterday was my first time visiting since September and I found taste of beef tartare and NY strip steak are changed. The portion of beef tartare is getting small and they put more mustard(?), which I didn't taste a lot before. The steak was...so disappointed this time. One of the biggest reason why I thought Poulet Bleu was the best Pittsburgh restaurant was I really loved how they cooked the steak (NY strip and filet mignon). It was the best I've ever had: tender like melting in the mouse, fresh, juicy and just so delicious. They served fantastic taste of steak which other restaurant chef couldn't copy. Especially, I really admired how they cooked NY strip. You know, normally filet mignon is hard to be bad. I was always wondering what their magical secret would be. I thought if they use sous vide method. Anyway, these grateful taste let me want Poulet Bleu every time and recommend it to my friends. However, yesterday my NY strip was...getting ordinary like other restaurants or I can say that it was worse than others. It was not tender enough anymore, salty, seared more, and... just not delicious. Also, it had some fat part which it didn't have so far when I tried. Actually, I can say that the whole portion is getting bigger and thicker, but I missed my delicious dish, even though the total portion was smaller. I felt like I was able to cook this amount, which I don't expect from the chef. Thankfully, our server asked the chef to cook again though, the taste was not getting better even with the second dish and I didn't want to complain anymore. I'm wondering if it's something related to the original chef's leaving, changing recipe, changing meat market, or wrong defrosting process. Because I tasted and smelled old meat like when I put the meat from the freezer to fridge too long. Well, service from the server and atmosphere of the restaurant were still good. Just food was very disappointed and I was so sad. I really want Poulet Bleu to get their pitch again. I don't want to lose what I love. But it would be hard to go back for me. You know, I'm willing to pay to have delicious food I had, but hesitated to do experiments with this price. But, I really want to go back. So please....getting back old delicious taste again. (As a kind of evidences that I've been here multiple times, uploading the pictures. You can easily find the differences of beef tartare. Maybe steak too such as the amount of fat and color if you have good eyes.) read more

Finally made it back for a proper meal. My boyfriend made reservations for Valentine's Day, this time in the upstairs space. I definitely prefer downstairs, but in a pinch the second floor will do. For Valentine's Day, they offered a food and wine pairing menu, but we opted to order off the regular menu. We started with a French onion soup and mussels; both amazing. The French onion soup was TO DIE FOR. Go to Poulet Bleu just for that. We then decided to split the steak frites so we had room for the chocolate soufflé. Our steak was just okay, but the fries were delicious! I loved dipping them in the poivre sauce that covered our steak. The chocolate soufflé steals the show though. This was such a fun and romantic Valentine's Day date night! As a plus, all of our servers were wonderful - offering drink suggestions to complement our meal. read more

It is hard to write with dissatisfaction when a meal was so good. Honestly each piece of the meal was worth the price from the cocktails to the chocolate souffle. The famous French onion soup was delicious, the Coq au Vin was superb. The taste winner is the corn risotto which someone said was the best thing he had ever eaten. I tasted the risotto and it has a taste that you will remember instinctively and crave again and again. Now for the missing two stars. First: Reservations were made more than a month ago,maybe closer to two months. We had five guests which can be a problem. That is just always unfortunately an issue. On a beautiful summer night we were seated at the warmest table available. There was no choice made available to us although when we were leaving similar sized parties were enjoying the outdoor dining. The only people hotter than the 5 of us were the cooks and we could appreciate what they were going through. The cooks were working incredibly hard in the open kitchen to make the great meals. I think they were better prepared for the heat. We did ask if any thing could be done about the temperature at our table and we were given a polite NO. Instead of a pleasant dinner with friends we had more of a spa sauna experience. That table is unsuited for occupancy until the first snowfall. Secondly, this was just a weird part of our service that I need to mention: When the checks were placed on the table they were divided between 2 drinking couples and a nondrinking single to be fair as we requested. Each check was accompanied by a caramel for each person. The waiter placed two on each check. When the waiter noticed that two had been placed on the single's check he reached onto the table and took one back and put it in his pocket. Was he doing what he's been instructed to the point of being rude and cheap,, or did he notice how anxious we were to exit the hotbox. I'm not sure which, but it almost cost him some of his tips. Delicious meal. Physically and emotionally challenging first world ambiance. read more

I've been hearing about this place for years and it's been top of my list to check out. Snagged a last minute reservation for a weekend night and were sat downstairs inside. Vibe was cute and quaint (very French cafe esque) and the overall experience was excellent. Started with the French martinis (refreshing without being overly cloying) the cheese plate (I don't looooveFrench cheese so this fell short on my pallet) and the olives For the main course, my date and I went with the chateaubriand for two ($105) and the Chateau Rocher Corbin 2016 vintage ($80 ish I believe) And we finished with the chocolate soufflé The steak is served sliced with the split bone and marrow with a large basket of frittes. The steak was flavorful, perfectly cooked, with a beautiful crust and the fries were seasoned well. The soufflé was classically done but found myself leaning towards the ice cream it was served with over the dessert itself The highlight of the night was the Sommelier's wine pick. Given my date and I's different wine tastes (literally opposite ends of the spectrum) the bottle was near perfect and exactly what we didn't realize we needed. Overall, an exceptional date night spot that I will be returning to. The only mistake we made was not sitting in their beautiful courtyard given the nice weather read more

It is like a bit of France in the Burg. Words do so little when the photos speak for themselves. Service was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. He helped us with recommendations that made our meal perfect. The restaurant is so incredibly charming! I want this kitchen!!! The open kitchen concept allows you to watch the show while dining inside. The outdoor patio is equally nice, weather depending. The food. Let's get to it! The Baguettes are amazing! Warm out of oven. You will melt, just like the butter... The pâté is delicious and flavorful. The Bistro Burger and Pomme Frites were some of the best we've had. I couldn't stop eating the frites. The French Onion Soup WAS the BEST EVER! You seriously could make a meal out of it. So much flavor. I can't stop thinking about getting it again! But the piece de résistance was the chocolate soufflé. Just get it and you will thank me, you will and you're welcome. Magnificent! read more

I don't know if it's the Frechiness of this gorgeous place or the company that I keep but it's so romantic! The completely open kitchen is new to the food scene here in PGH and I love the feel of it. It made me feel like I was in someone's home watching them cook. Next time I'll snag a seat up close! We came for entrees but decided to order a ton of small plates. I ranked our plates from least to best (though they were all winners)... 6. Tartare. 5. Escargot. 4. Coltoufis. 3. Chips & Dip. 2. Pate. 1. Fois Gras No matter what- GET THE FOIS GRAS!

Nice atmosphere. It has open kitchen in the back where you can see and smell everything. We had couple appetizers and everything turned out pretty good. our favorite was the scallops. Our server recommended the onion soup, and it was very good it has a very thick layer of cheese on top. It was very heavy and rich flavors to it. I got a roasted chicken for dinner it was very tender and juicy. My husband had beef for dinner. It was also quite tasty. Our Server was very nice and knowledgeable about wine. You can definitely ask him for recommendations to pair with your meal. Overall, I really like this place but it was a little bit heavy on the salt for my taste. At the end, we got the chocolate soufflé for it came with melted chocolate, cherry sauce, pineapple sauce and vanilla icing to go with it. It was big enough to share between three of us. read more

Great onion soup. Super hamburger. Kale salad wonderful. Deserts are fabulous. Service very good and attentive.

My favorite restaurants are ones where you can order someone you typically wouldn't eat, and they've managed to make it something you love. Poulet Bleu did just that! They have a nice atmosphere and an open kitchen which is fun to watch. For appetizers, we started with the chicken liver pate. WOW! Not something I would normally order, but this was incredible. It comes on four small pieces of bread, with the chicken liver, thin slices of Granny Smith apple, herbs, and hazelnuts. Even if you don't typically go for something like this, try it! After that, we had the lobster spaghetti. It comes with the lobster inside the shell, which easily comes right out. This was my boyfriend's favorite part of the meal. After this we shared a light salad, which was delicious and simple. I ordered the chicken which was so tender and juicy that it fell apart easily. The sauce was incredible and the potatoes were perfectly crispy. When we come back, it will be hard not to order this again, but I'd like to try some of the other entrees on the menu! My boyfriend ordered the Trout Almandine which he also loved. He usually doesn't even like capers but they worked well with the dish. It was light, tasty, and fresh. We got the chocolate soufflé and subbed the banana ice cream for vanilla. The dessert took a little long, so the waitress gave it to us on the house without us even saying anything, which was very nice! We wouldn't have had complaints either way. The soufflés are made fresh and I'd rather wait a little long for a fully cooked one than receive an undercooked dessert! It was HUGE, delicious, and could probably comfortably serve 3 people. I greatly enjoyed our trip to Poulet Bleu and can't wait to come back. If I had to make any suggestions, and this is just me being picky, I would say to add small cushions to the bench along the wall. It started to hurt after sitting there for awhile. Thanks for a great meal! We can't wait to come back! read more

I had a great experience at Poulet Bleu. We had dinner there on a Friday evening and the hostess was very accommodating of our request to sit outside. I recommend sitting outside on their upstairs patio if you can- great view of the downtown skyline! We started with mussels and warm olives which were both excellent. I had the salmon as my main course and it was cooked perfectly. We ended our meal with the soufflé for two which is one of my favorite desserts in Pittsburgh. Can't beat warm soufflé with homemade ice cream. Can't wait to be back! read more

This is an adorable French bistro in lawrenceville with a cute outdoor patio. They opened at 5pm. Before they opened, I inquired about their lobster spaghetti as it had a lemon sauce on it and I'm not FOND of lemon on my meat. I decided on Mushroom Vau-le-vent, which had mushrooms, walnuts and a salty meat gravy in a cute pastry dough. It was meaty tasting which was unexpected but interesting. I then chose the Parisienne Gnocchi which had a butter gravy with vegetables and gnocchi that was made from pasta but tasted like soft bread... interesting THEN my waiter brought a plate of their lobster spaghetti which I HAD NOT ordered... I turned and said Excuse ME SIR, I did NOT order this! The waiter kindly responded by stating they wanted me to try it for free since I had inquired about it earlier... at which I responded, Oh, ok thanks! The lobster spaghetti was pleasantly light with a after taste of lemon and tasty. It was a very pleasant evening sitting on the patio and very gracious service. And I got to try some food for free and didn't get slapped by anyone. read more

First time going to Poulet Bleu with girlfriends for dinner. Everything was sooooo delicious!! We had the mussels... the sauce is so flavorful and tasty. We ordered family style. The ribeye was very tender and the marrow act as a delicious butter on top of the steak. The salmon was definitely too 5 best. Just melts in your mouth. The potatoes... that was the star of dinner! Probably the best mash I've ever had! The drinks were also very good. Made us feel really fancy. I completely forgot to take photos of the dessert... but the dessert was also top notch! We did the mousse, brûlée and beignets. YOU HAVE TO ORDER THE DESSERT!!! The beignets... too good to pass up! A must go! read more

THE BEST ANNIVERSARY DINNER SPOT! Had to write it in all caps to get my point across. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Since we went for a special occasion (5 year anniversary), we went balls to the wall and ordered multiple appetizers, an entree each as well as drinks and dessert. Poulet Bleu would also be a great spot for just drinks and appetizers as their pomme frites are to die for. Be sure to make your reservation way in advance! read more

Getting right to it; here are a few tips you might find helpful: -Make reservations very early in advance (we had to book 1.5 months in advance for a table on a Friday night). -Don't come on a record hot summer day (their ac sucks). -Order the Oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer and Clafoutis for dessert. -Get the Gimlet to drink. -Expect to spend $$$ but you might find it worth it! This restaurant is super cute in terms of atmosphere and they definitely know how to prepare food the right way. My table ordered the French Onion Soup, Oysters Rockefeller, Scallops, Mussels, Macaroni Au Gratin, NY Strip (we sampled two sauces: bordelaise and house sauce), Beignets, and Clafoutis, in which we split everything. I highly recommend getting items from the Petit Plats and splitting them. While everything was good, my favorites were definitely the Oysters Rockefeller and Clafoutis. The steak was good, but probably not worth $42. If you do go that route, the bordelaise sauce is the way to go. Overall, though, good food, good drinks. Definitely worth trying! read more

It surprised me with the large portion! Our favorite was the French onion soup and Chocolate Soufflé. Next time, we will go there in a cold day and just order those two. What a pleasant experience! Other food we ordered are pretty tasty too. read more

This place rocked my socks off. You know a place is special if after one visit you already can't wait to come back again. That's how I feel about Poulet Bleu. I can't believe that this is now the third restaurant I've dined at in this exact same space over the course of about four years. First Tamari, then Pan, and now Poulet Bleu. It's been so fun to see the space transform over time, and I have to say that I think Poulet Bleu is here to stay. The decor is gorgeous and so reminiscent of my time in France. When I stepped in I immediately felt transported back to Versailles. Everything is perfect, from the wallpaper to the chandeliers down to the cutlery. I only had dessert, but it made me desperate to come back for dinner to experience a full meal. The soufflé was to die for. Perfectly fresh, expertly baked. The homemade banana ice cream was magical when paired with the rich, fluffy chocolate soufflé. The various homemade sauces were a nice touch as well (my friends and I especially loved the vanilla bean sauce). This was quite an indulgent experience to say the least. We sat at the bar, and the bartenders were all so professional and helpful. The homemade caramels provided with our bill were the perfect sweet ending to our evening. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and cannot wait to come back again! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this spot yet! I've been here 3 times and am in love with it. Easily some of the best French in all Pittsburgh. They do a great job. The spot itself is adorable and very cute classic French bistro with awesome decor inside. You can expect a feel good environment with a super cool open kitchen layout. One of a kind. I love having dinner here for a romantic night out or just a good time with friends for great food. I get the beef bourguignon and it slaps. The most tender feathery pieces of meat in a great stew. Not sure how they do it but mix in those mashed potato's and youre winning. I think there's bacon bits too. My favorite dish! We've had a lot of things here but I think that's my favorite. And the pommes frites are very thin and delicious. Also ask ahead for the chocolates soufflé it is great but takes like 45 min to cook. So fresh and hot and yummy. read more

Just wanted to update this for a covid indoor dining experience. My husband and I haven't dined indoors since pre-pandemic, but tonight we just needed to get out of the house. I was nervous, but Poulet Bleu was perfect. Tables are so nicely spaced, I had plenty of room. Everyone was following mask guidelines. There are also outdoor dining options with heated domes which looked very luxurious. Our waitress was so kind and cheerful, it really made our night. Dinner was excellent as usual and we tried the aligot potatoes which were incredible!! They also had a new cocktail on the menu - Penicillin which was so cozy on this chilly night.

Inside was lovely, albeit a little hot (there's no central air), but it was so fun to watch the chefs. We all shared plates, which included the bread cheesy potatoes, burger, steak and gnocchi. All were absolutely incredible, but the souflet at the end stole the show! So make sure to leave room for dessert. read more

Wow, sadly disappointing meal. I have been looking forward to visiting this restaurant for the last four years and booked it for my anniversary. And sadly it was a disappointing experience. Other than the nice ambience, the food was quite mediocre. The baguette was cold. The mussels were oddly large and had a strong ocean taste (most of them were closed). The gnocchi was not very flavorful. I ordered a burger and fries and had a bowl of mashed potatoes delivered instead of fries with no acknowledgement by the servers (who throughout the night were not very engaging). Sadly I'll be leaving the Pittsburgh soon and this will be the last time I actually get to visit this restaurant. Hopefully things get better in the future for others. read more
