This time we were directed to a patio table and seated ourselves only to be told it was reserved. Okay, we moved. Then the waiter pored water on my wife's lap. He changed the table cloth. We ordered lobster bisk which was great. Problem was after eating another order of bisk followed. We returned these two bowls even though we would like to have eaten them as well. So the service sucked. The pork loin followed and was excellent. read more

This is one good french restaurant. The food was amazing as is the service. I am a fan of French food and this is the spot. The staff has always been great with us. They made special off menu dishes for the kids, and all was cooked to perfection. A little bit of a drive for me in N. Scottsdale but very well worth it. Excellent restaurant. read more

I heard about this place from a french speaking practice group, but never tried it because it's fairly far from my place. So when my friend asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday, I decided we should try. I am French and I can say that the food is pretty legit. I loved it! The service was also great! I would go back anytime and cannot wait to try the main restaur read more

Been back a few times now. Service is still great but the consistency of the food is on and off. The croissants however, are always amazing. Don't be surprised if you're surrounded by 50+'s here. We always seem to be the youngest couple in the restaurant. read more

We thought this was a market/bistro, but it turns out the market is only open on Saturdays, like a farmer's market. But we were hungry, so we stopped in for brunch. Place was jumping, full of locals and the noise level was pretty high due to a few big tables. Wife ordered the cheese plate, I got the scrambled eggs with cream cheese and smoked slamon. Cheese plate was okay, but the toast points were like croutons, instead of grilled bread. Nothing but crunch. Scrambled eggs were just that, a good helping of scrambled eggs piled on top of a dollop of cream cheese and some diced up smoke salmon hiding under there, too. Overall, kind of meh. The complimentary crossiants we got to start, though, are worth a return visit. Butter would be better than the thin blueberry syrup/compote they came with, but they were great! The server brought us a couple of desserts to try. The apple pie was good, the rum pudding was way too sweet for our taste. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd probably try it again and go for dinner. But I don't live in the neighborhood. TIP: Looks like parking is at a premium here, so plan accordingly read more

Absolutely delicious! Best value for upscale restaurant in Phoenix. Coq au vin was great. Save room for the lemon soufflé crepe. Waiter and service were terrific. read more

Vincent Market Bistro - French Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This last week, I had my girlfriends surprise birthday party at Vincent's Market Bistro. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all great. As everyone else mentioned, the croissants they serve are delicious, and very euro like. The menu is somewhat limited, but they also had a pre fixe menu for dinner which is a great option as well. The atmosphere is very cozy, and has a great euro feel to it. What I was most impressed with was the service. Our waiter was very knowledgable and patient. But the thing that really sealed the deal was the cute little birthday dessert they made for my girlfriend, only to be shortly followed with a similar complimentary plate for everyone else at the table. We will definitely be coming back!! read more

Wow just ate here at their regular Saturday market (until about 1pm), which offers all a cornucopia of great eats (roasted Cornish hens and beef ribs - Very good but vegetables were a little greasy - there is such a thing as too much olive oil), paella (come early because we were there around noon and it was sold out- and they made 2 huge paella set ups), breads and pastries, organic medley of vegetables and salad mixes, crepes (longest line), paninis, omelets your way, fresh sashimi grade tuna and salmon, tacos Etc. So awesome. Parking next door in the mini mall is $5 but there is free parking off 39th. It was a great find - we were just gonna do a brunch at Vincent's. read more

Vincent Market Bistro - Beef ribs and roasted Cornish hens :) - French Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We like to go our of our way to try and find F&B venues of all types; from the down and dirty, the hip and trendy, the cosy and quaint to the greasy and Pepto Bismally...... But I'm always intrigued when we arrive to a new town, to see where locals like to go and eat.. now usually, that really does mean a take out burger joint or a greasy spoon. But in the case of the vast Phoenix sprawl with its inorganic population growth, (basically it's three major cities shoved into one) you've got an ever evolving diaspora of generational clusters with it's own microcosm of habitual norms... The easiest way to observe the human condition is in it's eating habits; we had the pleasure of staying in the Scottsdale area this time, where an intimate little outpost of a Bistro bustles like a hive, hidden away from it's older, larger sibling, Vincent's on Camelback. Click below to read more... When you're on Camelback Rd, you likely to see Vincent's on Camelback first facing the street. It's an older, established restaurant in Scottsdale which has slightly faded from the limelight, with a loyal following of astute and mature clientele who enjoy French Cuisine. Veering right into the driveway, you're bound to think that you would be entering into the main building (there's really no defined indication on navigating this place) but Vincent's Market Bistro is actually a separate venue all together with it's own quaint casual identity. Actually, it's a tricky venue, the awning and front foliage is the only indication of it's presence and with a side entrance, it's hard to see inside to confirm that it's open... But once inside, you see a whole different world... It's by definition, a quintessential Bistro from Provence; Venetian plastered walls drenched in Sunflower Gold, color ridden tablecloths with Wooden chairs and mirrored ceiling with stencils and faux wood beams; this restaurant is the Disneyland of Bistro hodge podge...but I like it a lot! What really got me at hello was the plate of home baked Croissants with Strawberry Jam delivered to our table; not entirely Bistro protocol, but at that point, who cared? I mean, is there any wrong occasion for buttery Croissants?? It was devoured immediately, only to be refilled instantaneously, like a buttery Croissant Genie popped and gave us three wishes!!! What was true to it essence was the menu: I found old favorites like Coq au Vin and Country Quiche. And the price point was definitely not French! The Coq au Vin was too irresistible to pass up, and when it came to our table, it delivered as promised; a wonderfully rich Bourgogne sauce covered Chicken leg on top of an equally decadent mound of Mashed Potatoes. With portions that would satisfy the French diet, the rich dish sated our American belly... And looking at the other tables, it seemed that it did equally well around the room... And what would be a price fix course at Vincent's without our knowledge, a complimentary dessert arrived. It was really cute actually, the whole experience-kinda felt transported into the surreal Hybrid of French American cuisine... All in all, Vincent's is a great place for Lunch where you can escape the brutal Phoenix sun and stay, cool and relaxed in the French countryside for the afternoon.

On a Sunday morning in phoenix, you are often left thinking about the fact that a good breakfast is neither close nor available. In fact, you could sum up the valleys breakfast nooks as vacant or un found. There is one beacon of breakfast hope that can be found in the central corridor, and Vincents be thy name. Obviously Vincents is a culinary staple in the valley that is known far and wide and adorned by all. What is somewhat unknown to valley foodies is that right behind the main Vincents restaurant sits "Vincents Bistro." What does that mean to the food masses? The best price point in the valley on fine dining in a great setting. Before you engage the menu, make sure to enjoy the house made croissants and butter, this little treat will get your senses going in the right direction. The menu at the Bistro is not complex(neither is the main dining room), but has staples such as Vincents famous smoked salmon quesedilla($10) and main lobster with handmade basil pasta($14). The Bistro has a daily prix fixe menu that uses the following methodology. An appetizer of choice, a main entree of choice and dessert. The price tag is never greater than $20 for the prix fixe and I challenge another restaurant in the valley to beat it. Choices can range from prime new york steak, to lamb chops to a wonderfully cooked piece of fish. What are the cons? Good luck coordinating a take out order with the normal busyness of the operation. Wait times for pick up can range from forty-five minutes to over an hour. If you feel like your caught in the middle of a whirlwind circus when picking up your order, don't worry, that's just the normal pace. In 1982 Vincent Guerithault catapulted Arizona into the beginning phases of the culinary elite the other larger metropolis cities were already enjoying. Now, thirty years later, he has done it again with the Bistro. I applaud Vincent and his family on their success and longevity in the valley culinary circuit. read more

We visited Vincent Marker Bistro for the second time this week. The first time we went was this past March. The food was so good. I had the lobster bisque for a starter and coq au vin for my main. My partner had the same starter and beef bourgogne for her main. We both had profiteroles for dessert. Yummy!! Everything was spot on. Our only complaint last March was that it was so hot in the restaurant, I almost had to leave. We gave them a pass because we thought it was kind of between seasons so we thought maybe they just weren't ready to turn the air on yet but really, it was way too hot! So, we decided to give it another try. We ordered the tart flambé and e goat cheese nachos for starters. They were both out of this world, so good. For mains, I again ordered coq au vin and my partner ordered mussels and frites. The coq au vin was a little dry this time around but we were there at the end of the evening, so... Not really a good excuse. I was totally looking forward to the profiteroles but instead, we didn't get the chance to order them. They brought us out a brownie with ice cream. It was good but def not the profiteroles, those are amazing, maybe they ran out. Here's the kicker, it was beastly hot again, even the servers were sweating like crazy. They seemingly had the air on but not high enough. It was miserable, so while the food was great and def worth repeated visits, I can't take the heat so I'll sadly have to stay out of their kitchen. Please Vincents, get the air working, so I can come back. Food was a little hit or miss but mostly hits. The apps were def worth a repeat visit. I'm def torn between a 3 and a 4 but then food is really a 4. read more

Great food but simple menu, correct portions. The homemade croissants and complimentary desserts are a great touch! Everyone who came in seemed like regulars and were greeted by name. read more

I had been meaning to try Vincent's for such a long time, and today was the day. So many people had mentioned how lovely the brunch menu is here... I am happy to say that we have found our new favorite breakfast / brunch destination! Vincent's has the best brunch menu in all of the Valley--hands down. We started with the four tiny croissants and jam that our friends had mentioned were so delicious (they were!). My boyfriend had the lobster quiche which arrived with a side of greens and I ordered the tomato, basil, and mozzarella omelette. We also shared cinnamon raison brioche which came to us warm, full of raisons, with a perfectly "eggy" taste. Everything was absolutely wonderful and our only concern was that we couldn't possibly finish everything they had brought! The prices are considerably lower than what you'd expect to pay for such a delightful meal. :-) My boyfriend commented that this is the best brunch spot he's found since he left New York. read more

Point and shoot. Top to bottom the best food in Phoenix. You can't go wrong with any dish. read more

Vincent Market Bistro - The Bistro is the bomb. - French Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great French cooking. The bistro shares a kitchen with Vincent's fine dining side. They offer a small standard menu and several seasonal dishes along with a pre-fix menu at a very reasonable price. The staff has always been friendly and willing to guide you through the menu and or the wine list. The space is tight but that is part of its charm. This is a great place for a date night or dinner with friends. Vincent is a superb chef and Phoenix has been blessed to have him put down roots here. The bistro is a great addition. . read more

Fresh french food was brought hot and complete. Nice desserts did not disappoint. Atmosphere was ok. The air conditioner kinda blew right on me, so a little uncomfortable, but worth it. We had a party of 9, so they took our reservation. Nice staff. Not many french speakers. read more

Vincent Market Bistro has everything I want and more in a restaurant. The food is delicious, best servers I ever experienced, unique look and feel. Every time I dine there I feel like I'm with friends. I know several servers by name and they sincerely greet us and make us feel special. Vincent's Market Bistro is exceptional dinning that offers outstanding food quality, taste, and ambiance with a dash of friendship and class. read more

This place is great. Though it tends to be a bit crowded not to mention noisy... but the food is just about the best you can get in town for the price... It's not cheap, but it's also not super pricey. I've been here about half a dozen times now and would definitely repeat. read more

I had been to Vincent's Market Bistro many moons ago for lunch and decided to make date night there for dinner recently...what a nice surprise! The atmosphere is so laid back, but with the same professional service as next door. The food is truly amazing, the right portion sizes and so reasonably priced. We enjoyed the beef bourguignon, the pork loin with gratin dauphinois and a medley of the three desserts (apple tart, blueberry tart and creme caramel)...so amazing! We will definitely be back...maybe for paella night next time. read more

I use to have a friend name Vincent , black and white guy wrote all the sports articles for Wildcat uofa paper . Good roommate , Good friend and overall great Eskimo brother but the name Vincent no longer will bring his once cornrows self up , now I will recall the delicious 4 course meal that blew my taste buds into another world, whenever the name Vincent is mentioned. 1. The lobster pancake A+, lobster soup A+++, the Veal A++++ and homemade ice cream will for ever ruin any store brand. Nice quite place, you can talk relax , they brought out great birthday dessert so double the dessert love. Man what a great meal . Now for two people this will run you s little over 100 (without the tip and trust me you will tip great services) but if you are looking for this place then you are looking for fine dining. It is 100% worth it, special birthday , special anything pleas do yourself a service and dine here . Also get the lobster pasta dish and write a review so i can try it next time but once again that veal was so good medium rare , o my yas yas read more

Where can someone find both foie grois and souflee? Here at Vincent's. I searched the Scottsdale Phoenix area and found this perfect French bistro. The foie grois was tender and flavorful. The special elk topped sautéed spinach. My husband ordered the halibut sole duo and found it just wonderful. But the best was the souflee. Grand marnier. And the chef sent out the flourless chocolate torte to top!! read more

My taste buds were watering and I was super excited to try the bistro. Even though it was lunch, I got to get the ravioli. That is on the dinner menu. My son Devoured it and he is sometimes a picky eater. My husband had the smoked salmon and before I knew it-gone. It just melted in his mouth. We got the panni for the kids and my husband and I ended up eating it. I am so glad since the combination of favors was truly rewarding. The chef is a master in the kitchen and I can't wait to go back and try another dish. We got croissants and I would love to have the recipe for it since that is all my daughter would eat. Recipes for all the food. The pricing was very reasonable. Can't believe the deserts. There were so many and they melted in your mouth. Wish I knew what was in all of them. Master Chefs and than some. Please go there and try the spectacular food. I will be back soon. read more

Reliving my summer in France, I have been sampling French cuisine around the valley. Found this quaint little bistro that is so charming. The ambiance is spot on French country. The colors, furnishings, paintings and flowers on the plates made me feel like I was in Provence was more. Stopped in for a late breakfast. The mini croissants and preserves were wonderful. Ordered a quiche that was absolutely perfect with such lovely flavors and served with a wonderfully light salad. I can't wait for my next visit to the French countryside of the Vincent Market Bistro. read more

There's an interesting trend developing among some of the valley's most popular fine dining establishments. As a way of getting more customers in the door, they are offering smaller menus consisting of more economical dishes almost as an introduction to their unique cuisine. Binkley's now has numerous Cafe Bink locations that offer this experience and others are following suit. Including, apparently, Vincent Guerithault. I have to give HUGE props to my date for discovering this spot that I never knew even existed until tonight. I've been to Vincent On Camelback more than once and was a little nervous when she told me she wanted Vincent for dinner. I know their food is good, but pretty spendy. But before I could raise an objection she mentioned they now have a bistro offering a cheaper menu next door. Wha? Sure enough I met her here after work for dinner and as I traverse the narrow parking lot past Vincent's mothership, there's the bistro. A small nook tucked in the middle of an already tucked away restaurant. The bistro has a small outdoor patio with the rest of the dining area opening up to the patio. On a perfect weather evening like tonight, its a great indoor/outdoor setup. Altogether the bistro can seat somewhere around 25-30 people tops. Not big, but not cramped either. The walls, the paintings, and the music still feel like Vincent, but in a much more relaxed casual setup. The menu offers one of three different dining options. You can order a la carte, a $25 prix fixe menu consisting of three courses (which change everyday), or you can order from their menu of pizzas. The pizzas seem a little out of place here since the theme is predominantly French, but I didn't order those so that's neither here nor there. The prix fixe menu had some interesting options that evening, but there was one a la carte dish that immediately caught my attention. Duck confit. When done right, duck confit is amazing as I've had a ridiculously good duck confit dish at Zinc Bistro in Scottsdale. The dish here was served with lentils and bacon. The duck was tender and the meat fell off the bone with ease. The savoriness of the duck and the heartiness of the bacon paired tremendously and the portion was just the right size. Prior to the main event, we split a three cheese tarine. Essentially a plate of three cheese bruschetta. The bread slices weren't big, but super rich. Paired very well with the wines we had. We actually didn't order dessert, but we each got a chocolate brownie piece with vanilla bean ice cream on the house. A tasty way to top off the night and oh yeah it was complimentary! Our server was extremely polite and soft spoken and the pace of the meals were spot on. Both of us left full, but not uncomfortably so. All totaled, two glasses of wine, the bruschetta appetizer, a pair of main courses, two desserts, and tip was $70. Far cheaper than Vincent's parent restaurant, while still offering the quality service, ambience, and flavors that Vincent is known for. I would still recommend Vincent's parent restaurant for the ultimate French cuisine experience as their dishes are even more imaginative. But for those looking to just dip their toes into Vincent's menu or looking for a cheaper alternative, the Bistro makes for a tremendous plan B. read more

I read a lot of reviews for this place and I get a little perturbed. Slow service, overpriced, terrible wait staff...... When really people should be realizing this is not an American restaurant. This is a French bistro that happens to be in America. European style dining is extremely different than the American mentality of sit down, order your food, eat it and then leave. And if you want a larger menu, go to Denny's. No, no, no, my dear friend. Dining in Europe is an experience and one that is used to build relationships around the dinner table and to make memories. The service is slow for a reason. It will give you time to talk to each other. Enjoy the croissants. Look at the menu without having to tell the wait staff you need more time. This is closer to real customer service. When I come here, I know I need more time and I plan for it. The food is exquisite. Perfect sized portions and perfect taste every time. I did not realize that I actually like butternut squash soup until I came here. Having brunch here is great also. Each meal is finished off with more complimentary food. Whatever the kitchen decided to make that day for dessert with one scoop of refreshing ice cream. If I were to give one criticism of this place it would be the parking. There is just not enough of it sometimes because the other foodies will agree that this place is worth it. read more

Great little hideaway. Been here for lunch and brunch and every time it's consistently good food and service. A regular in the rotation...

I've come here a few times, mostly for lunch and I love it every time. They serve the softest, warmest buttered croissants at the beginning - and don't be shy to ask for more! They are very nice about it. And they are free! They have a daily lunch special board - it used to be $10 but when we went yesterday, the price has gone up to $13. The entree's look small, but they actually filled me up. I had the beef bourguignon with mashed potatoes. It was good but got heavy towards the end, so I traded with my brother, he ordered the pesto pasta ($7) with and added chicken (+$2). The pesto pasta was very light but almost a little too bland. At the end, you also get a complimentary dessert. Our dessert yesterday was a flourless chocolate brownie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. It was so good! That definitely made me super full. I would come back again for lunch. The place is small and quaint and the price may seem pricey for lunch, but the quality surpasses the price. read more

Excellent food, delicately prepared and presented with class in a gorgeous setting. The atmosphere of the restaurant reminds me of a Lyonnaise or Aix-en-Provence cafe. Frequented by more mature locals, it is quiet and composed, an excellent place for conversation. It's a little rustic and by no means formal; the service is inviting and just standoffish in southern French fashion. Best for smaller groups, no more than 4-6 people. I've tried two dishes here, the Coq au Vin and the Salmon, and they both blow me away in terms of flavour. The portions are intelligently small, and each meal comes with some of the best mini-croissants I've ever tasted and a rotating dessert. The only fault I can find are the prices; at $7-$10 a meal, I feel almost obliged to use the tip keep from feeling guilty. An absolute steal, hidden away. read more

I am amazed....the foregoing reviews cannot possibly be speaking of the restaurant we visited during restaurant week. We had 7.30 pm reservations and arrived on time to find probably 12 guests standing around waiting for their tables....we joined them. My husband became bored and walked around the small place, counting 10 tables waiting to be cleared. 20 minutes later, no one had offered us a drink, no cocktail serving person was to be seen, but at last we were seated! 15 more minutes passed slowly by. No acknowledgement of our presence...no welcoming smiles,hellos,eye contact.....ah at last water was poured into our glasses.Yes, there is some liquid refreshment available in this arid place.....WATER! Still no acknowledgement. The water bearer was silent and did not look up from his task......hello here's the waiter asking us for our order......er,"may we see the menu first?". Do you serve drinks in this restaurant? May we order something to drink? Yes we had to ask. Let's speak briefly about the food. SALAD.......a salty undressed mess, Brie and figs......NO FIGS. Tomato leek tartlet....very good. Filet steaks....tasteless. Lobster and pasta.....it wasn't lobster it was langoustine.....no flavor. Salmon....ok. As for the desserts great pecan pie, ruined by pouring caramel sauce over it. We all know that pecan pie is sweet enough, don't we? After all this, the final straw was the very annoying waiter, who hummed incessantly as he served. In all fairness he was totally unaware of his habit, as was everyone else who worked there....otherwise surely he would have been told to STOP. No we will not be returning. So many great restaurants in the camelback corridor....why would we? read more

Last Thursday, my husband and I visited this establishment and were pleasantly surprised. The staff were well trained and didn't falter even when there were a lot of demands on them from hungry customers. The croisants that were served rather quickly were warm, buttery and very hard to resist. We both chose the Prix Fixe dinner. My husband had the mushroom raviolis which were served in a rich sauce and were very flavorful. I had the caesar salad which was a little larger than I expected, but it could have used a little more dressing. The lamb dinner consisted of four perfectly prepared chops, along with potatoes dauphinois and snap peas. For our dessert course I chose the Profiterole which is a tower of small, ice cream filled puff pastries. This was good. My husband ordered the peach tart and was somewhat disappointed. The peaches were not as tender as they could have been. This may have been due to re-heating the pastry. My husband and several of the "regulars" we spoke to agreed that Vincent Market Bistro serves some of the best lamb served in the valley. On our next visit, we will arrive around 5:30 instead of 6:30 to avoid the crowd. The regulars park just to the west of the Bistro when the free parking spots are filled. The wine can be a bit pricey so check the price before ordering. Be prepared to be in rather tight quarters with a rather high noise level. We will be back! read more

We came here for both lunch and dinner on a Saturday. Both meals were excellent and the service was impeccable. It was hard to decide what to order. Everything looked so good. read more

This place has a great atmosphere - European feel, cute, quaint, not too stuffy. Great place for a date. The prices aren't bad and the food is good, although the portions can be small. How amazing the food is really depends on the menu of the evening, though I have not had anything bad. Everything has been at least good, and some things excellent. Service has also been great. Plus, I like the prix fixe menu. read more

I've come here quite a few times now, mostly for lunch. Each time I go, I get excited to see the daily lunch specials they offer. I've ordered the lamb shank, lobster quiche and beef bourguignon. They all have been really good. To accompany the meal they also offer free croissants that are served with a raspberry preserve before the meal and a small dessert at the end. Although the prices of the lunch special have steadily gone up from $10 since the first time I've been here, I think the quality of the food and the ambiance is still worth every penny. read more

The food was great... Sunday Brunch Service...not so much (they weren't even that full). We will be back because the food was so good!

This is one of those places I wish we could give 1/2 stars. I would give this place 4 1/2 stars. Really really good . . . but not out of this world fantastic. The pizza is on par and may be better than pizzeria bianco - plus not the 4 hour wait. We walked right in - it is very cute and charming. It is a great place to go when you want high end food without the high end hassle. read more

Employer dinner at this establishment. Although the menu was pre-set, I was able to taste other co-worker's entrees. The crab cake salad was delicious. The Halibut entree I ordered was perfect. The decor on the plate (presentation) was great. The servers were excellent! I will return to this restaurant again to experience other items I was not able to taste. read more

Great experience! Every dish perfectly prepared. Reasonable prices, good value. Great menu and specials.

This is one of my go-to places for a great brunch! They always have an nice selection of delicious food. The service is always attentive and friendly. It can get fairly busy later in the morning, so if you're not into that go early. I have eaten here at least 15 times and have never been disappointed in anything. I love this place! I should also mention that the Saturday market is INCREDIBLE!! The food stations offer something for everyone. Local merchants hawk their wares at their stands and they always have a funky older guy tickling the ivories on his keyboard. This is a mini festival of food and fun and is a MUST do for anyone wanting to impress out of town guests. It happens every Saturday from about 9am-2pm from October until May. Be sure to park in the business lot west of the 7-11. 7-11 plaza will charge you $5. The business lot for Shamrock Foods is free parking and only a short walk. read more
