It's a real bummer and I'll sure miss it. While there are some other French restaurants still in the nabe, I think the only ones worth their salt are 718 and Tournesol.
So for now it's au revoir Bistro Les Minots. We'll think back on you fondly and remember your cozy, comfortable vibe, warm staff and yummy food.
Chime in Astoria - let me know what you'll miss (or not miss) about this place and also if you have other trusty French alternatives you'll turn to in its place.

Cafe Triskell is wonderful. On 36th Ave. between 34th and 33rd St. Les Bistrot will be missed.
ReplyDeleteAh yes...I've heard great things about Cafe Triskell but I've never tried it yet. I must!
ReplyDeleteI think it actually closed because of a fire in a restaurant next door that spread? Sorry to hear that it won't be back, though - I live around the corner and it was a great brunch option for when I had people in from out of town!
ReplyDeleteI know...I'm bummed about it too!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Cafe Triskell dishes the very fine comfort fare of the chef's native Breton, besides the savory buckwheat crepes that populate the menu. The ingredients are always fresh.
ReplyDeleteI would also number Bliss Bistro in Sunnyside among the best French cuisine restaurants in western Queens.
Sadly, beyond L'Artiste, 718, Cafe Triskell, and Bliss Bistro, that is presently it for western Queens recommendations.
Happily, Little Neck does have the venerable La Baraka by the Nassau County border!
