About Bistrot 13

The ambiance at Bistrot 13 strikes a fine balance between casual and intimate, with warm lighting and modest décor that invite a relaxed dining experience.

The service was excellent! The waiter spoke English and treated us very warmly and kindly. We tried escargots, camembert, magret de canard, and confit de canard. Everything was really high quality and delicious. We really recommend trying the restaurant if you are around.

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Nicholas is a great host. Generally, I'm a Vegetarian, those options are great. I had a shoulder of lamb. Bonus, dogs are welcome.

This is “the” place. Khamel will make you feel like family and welcome from the moment you step in. I have been to Bistro 13 multiple times now and is always a success. From the Algerian couscous to the salmon tartare or the snails, this place is excellent. Inside, it has a large tv to watch live sports and is always opened late. A really good restaurant with excellent prices
