L'apéritif Bistro - Fresno

Well Fresno surprises again! In a quiet strip mall off the beaten path, lies a French inspired restaurant headed by a taste bud tentilizing genius. Thomas dances on your tongue with his magic fingers as he conducts sauces of a lifetime. If you hate flavor, don?t come here. But for those thirsty to experience life one flavor at a time you found your holy match. A must eat at restaurant in this town of farm to table. To top it off the service is like tying a bow on top of a present.

The vibe is amazing. The food is the best here in the Central Valley. The owner went to Culinary school in France and never disappoints on all the dishes. The variety of drinks here is fantastic! I love bringing friends here and the Chef makes the people feel welcomed.

Incredible tapas. Highly recommend the spicy mussels and spicy scallops. However, entrees aren?t great shrimp and gnocchi and paella were not tasty. Would recommend doing tapas only. It is a bit too expensive to only eat tapas, but the spicy scallops warrant giving this restaurant 4 stars. Of the desserts, the crème brûlée is a must have.

We did the tapas. The frog legs were fantastic. Ranked number one of our list. The mushroom burchett was like number 2. Everything was not good but YUM!! Because we only did the tapas now severely curious how chef's steaks taste with his sause SO definitely coming back to try that. See recipient for all we tried. Chef came by to see what was enjoyed as well as chef's wife also stopped by to what we enjoyed the most.

Oh my goodness, this restaurant is a gem. My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous meal for our anniversary. The chef's experience showed in his choice of fresh herbs and spices in just the right amounts to make our dishes absolutely delicious. The owner Noi greeted us warmly and made us feel very special. The atmosphere is a nice mixture of friendly and a little bit romantic. Our server Hope did a lovely job of making sure we had everything we needed. She answered all of our questions and made great recommendations. This may become our new favorite restaurant and we will absolutely be going back.
