Bistrot Cinq

We stopped by this restaurant for dinner and were reminded why it’s a longtime favorite—it’s been around for about 18 years, with the same dedicated wait staff who’ve been here since the beginning. We’ve made some wonderful memories here over the years. The service was excellent, the French wine was delicious, and the food didn’t disappoint. Located near the center of town, it’s a great spot for a meal with friends or family. The kids especially loved their burger and fries!

The restaurant is fine, we ordered 2 meals : the boeuf bourguignon was honestly very good and the filet mignon was fine. The menu is outdated and prices have gone up, for me they are a bit expensive, hence the 4 stars.

Ate there tonight and overall, food isnt anything especial. Avg at best. The service was great, both waiters were friendly and gave us many recommendations about Antigua. Place looks and feels cozy. But I won't be coming back due to food. It wasn't worth the price.

The food in general is just ok. But the risotto is a disaster. It is a rice soup not risotto. I’ve never sent back food to the kitchen, but I actually thought that I had ordered the wrong dish, it was a soup.

Walked in for an early dinner around 1700 and I was the only customer. The servers were nice. I ordered the wedge salad and the Mac & cheese. The salad was good! The mac and cheese was more like a soup of cheese. The flavor itself was okay, but it was difficult to find the noodles because there weren’t many. Not worth the piece unfortunately.

I was surprised and impressed by the food, service, and vibe of this place from start to finish. The decor and attitude of the place made it seem authentic, like you stepped into a family owned restaurant in Paris. The service was impeccable! We were recommended the grilled calamari, wedge salad, risotto with jumbo shrimp, and special duck! No notes. The food was 5/5 excellent - much better than some French restaurants I’ve eaten at in nyc. Must go!!!

We came back today. Definitely we were ripped off, not coming back again nor recommending the place at all. It was sunny and we'd walked a lot. We asked for 3 glasses of water and they brought a bottle filled with water of the house. Asked for refill, and we were charged Q84 in glasses of water for a family of 3 despite we all had main dishes and drinks plus 12% mandatory tips, which is higher than the usual tip in this country.

The onion soup was overpowered by the wine. The Macaroni and cheese with bacon was very good. The roasted beets and goat cheese was very good, and the star of the evening. Our server never introduced himself. He took our orders, and brought the food. He didn’t tell us about the specials. We had to ask for bread. The ambient light was very low, I would have had it a bit brighter. The meal prices are not bad.
