We were blow ins from the nearby hotel and approached with a bit of trepidation - no booking and no recommendation - but all was well. We were served by a waiter with a British accent. It was a bit unexpected in y'all country, but he knew his stuff. The charcuterie plate was straight from France, a blue, a washed... More

In town for one evening we visited Bistro Bobette based on reviews here on TA and elsewhere. The Bistro Bobette absolutely met our expectations in every regard. The Foie gras starter with grilled peaches and balsamic was delicious and rich enough to share among three. Cheese platter was a nice sampling of various French cheeses (our collective favorite was the... More

Visiting Richmond on business and parked in historic area. Bistro Bobette was first restaurant I spotted. Perfectly lovely welcome from hostess/waitress. This person offered terrific service.

Don't think of it as stereotypical heavy French fare. The... More

For me the Bistro Bobette was reminiscent of a Parisian neighborhood cafe which is the reference point for the 5th star. Cozy with a good menu, better than typical wine list, and good service. Four of us enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, entree, dessert, and a bottle of wine for about $300 which we felt was a darn good deal. There wasn't... More

I hosted a baby shower here. It is a quintessentially Richmond place in look and feel, and quintessentially French menu. Wendy and Francis were generous, accommodating and wonderful to work with. The food was incredible and I can’t wait to go back for lunch and dinner when I'm next in Richmond.
