The Scene
The original bistro on Bardstown Road gave Louisvillians casual cafe dining with international flare more than 25 years ago. What was once cutting edge is now familiar and reliable. There are three locations in all, but the original is the real gem, with outdoor dining surrounded by a walled garden.
The Food
Golden artichoke fritters, a cup of black bean soup or the grilled chicken tapas are wonderful starts. Dinner favorites include a steak marinated in orange liqueur, ginger, honey, garlic and soy, which impart both tenderness and flavor. Pasta dishes like the creamy fettucini with salmon and mushrooms are filling and well executed. There's no better place to have Sunday brunch with a bounty of fried chicken, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, fresh fruit and other brunch munchies spread out on a great buffet.

Out of the places that have come & gone and the ones that that have changed over the years, The Bristol is one of the few left I really like in Louisville. Like many patrons, I also go weekly. Service is always top notch and professional. Turnover among the staff is very low. No one is treated better than anybody else. The food is always excellent and very filling. The clientele is classy, not pretentious. Customers don't to go to "people watch", but to actually enjoy a good meal. What a concept! For those who miss Pasquales and The Hungry Pelican, this should be your choice to dine out.
