Utica’s Newest French Restaurant Now Open!

Bonjour and welcome to La Bistrot!

It’s my pleasure to share a piece of my culinary journey with you. Growing up just outside of Utica, I was always surrounded by the rich flavors and traditions of our region. After spending years honing my craft in kitchens across the country, I knew I wanted to bring those experiences back home, combining them with the timeless elegance of French cuisine.

La Bistrot is a reflection of my passion for food, family, and community. Here, every dish tells a story—of the local sources of our fresh ingredients, of the French techniques that inspire our cooking, and of the love that goes into every meal we serve. I invite you to join us at La Bistrot.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Bon appétit!
