Reviews for Bistro 555 in Houston, TX

PRO'S: Bistro 555 is an excellent choice for traditional french provincial dishes. We had a well-dressed house salad, escargot &... trout, all well prepared. Traditional french onion soup was slightly beefy & too hot. Excellent service and a modest priced winelist made the evening enjoyable. CON'S: The stiff, traditional french bread was not my favorite style. SUMMARY: Bistro 555does a fine job of recreating traditional french dishes and will continue to be a restaurant we visit.

This is a cute little Cafe style restaurant. It's very small and reminds you of Paris if you've ever been. They nailed the vibe... completely. There is very little seating, so I would recommend making a reservation. No cocktails sold here, but plenty ofwine to choose from. The menu is very nice and has something for everyone. Our first time trying escargot and it was verypleasing. Probably will not visit again. Read more

Excellent food. Margherita pizza was probably the best I've had in Houston. It was made in true Neapolitan style. Per my friend,... the lobster pot pie was also great. The tomato soup was on point. The pistachio ice cream was a major disappointment. They werekind enough to change it with creme brulee which was okayish, could've been a little colder but better than the ice cream. Woulddefinitely visit again for the pizza!!! Few decent options for vegetarians. Read more

One of the absolutely best dining experiences I've ever had in many years. Why have I not ever visited this place before? Thus... French Bistro exceeded our expectations and was well worth every penny. First of all, the place had a lovely atmosphere. Ittruly reminded me of our time in Paris. The walls, tables, everything. The place is family owned and it was felt as soon as wewere welcomed inside. Axel provided us with absolutely amazing service and made the meal ever more memorable. The rest of thestaff was equally fantastic. We started with the wold mushrooms soup. This was amazing and perfect. Though we are not womendrinkers we had a couple of glasses of rose. We had a pizza, done fabulously, and mussels in wine and cream sauce, again anotherwinner. The mussels were accompanied with truffle fries and they were delicious. They also provided bread which was doneextremely well. We finished the meal off with profiteroles, which were simply delicious, and a cup of coffee. The portions werequite large for us, so we had to take a bit of food home. As we had enough for another meal, we ordered a raspberry tarte to go-it did not disappoint! I highly recommend this little place and we look forward to visiting again! Read more

Our first time in this French restaurant since they changed of owners (it?s was before the Bistro Provence). The decoration is... very nice, typical from south of France. Large choice of famous French recipes, excellent service and everything was justexcellent (including the bread ????). Great choice of wines too. They are also closing at 10:00 pm on Saturday which is aplus. We will definitely come back. Read more

Easy to make online reservations and table ready on arrival. Waiter moved us around trying to get best location for heater... since it was a cool evening. Food was great and plentiful. My wife and I split each course with food left over. Some things seemto run out (we were last to get mussels) so put your full order in just incase. Waiter had an issue with billing but resolved itquickly and explained the mistake thoroughly. Great date night location, though the inside gets a little crowded and noisy. Read more
