Gulf Bistro

Highly recommend. The place is charming, the food delicious, the wine fantastic , and the service is way above average.

Just came in for some onion soup and a glass of wine and was treated as though I ordered a 5 course meal by the server and the owner .
Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

Highly recommend! Delicious French food, popular with local diners - be sure to make reservations!

Atmosphere was very nice, very cute comfortable place to eat, service was excellent, never needed anything always there to check on us and offer information. Food was very good, the beef Wellington was good but the puff pastry was a little raw and had too much sauce. But overall experience I would definitely recommend

Gulf Bistro is hands down one of our favorite restaurants. Service is amazing, super cute inside & authentic. The food is 10/10. Great portions. We split our lobster penne pasta & they actually split it for us. It even had chunks of lobster! Sooooo good! Thank you Fred & Marie & their daughter.

While on vacation we decided to look for places nearby to eat , this was the first place to come up! We didn’t even know it was French just made a reservation and arrived! This was the most awesome pick , the beer and food was delicious! I was not sure what to order at first but the lady was so sweet to help and explain everything on the menu. Sometimes you have to go out of your comfort zone and try new things! We didn’t see many business here so we recommend people who are unsure of this place to give it a try , we have to support our small businesses in this hard time. &’ this place is definitely worth the money and time! Thank you Gulf Bistro🙂

Authentic French cuisine. Delicious and extensive menu from appetizers to dessert so hard to choose. If Beef bourgigone is a daily special try it as very very good. Excellent Wine choices available. Attentive friendly service. Entrees run around $30. Hidden treasure.

Would give this place 10 ⭐ if I could. We just had a fantastic date night here! Food was all incredible, and the service was perfect. Will absolutely be back!!

What can I say about this treasure of a restaurant!
The service the food the atmosphere is beyond fantastic.
We come come to Florida twice a year from Canada and have now been to Gukf Bistro twice and we will continue to come back every time we are here.
Highly highly recommend to anyone who enjoys great food and great service,

We had a truly special evening, dining at the Gulf Bistro tonight. The service and food are unmatched. We enjoyed frog legs and escargot to begin, shared an array of entrees from veal to duck to seafood, and ended with creme brulee and mousse. A spectacular experience we hope to replicate some day!

We were nervous looking at the building from the outside but once you enter, you are brought into what I would imagine a French bistro would feel like. Greeted by lovely staff. Our wine was delightful. Food was amazing!!! Highly recommend!

Great place all around. Very personal and friendly. Priced well and the food was amazing.

We had a great meal here. We were walk-ins, seemed like everyone had made reservations and were getting busy when we were finished. We had the full meal of appetizer, salad, main course, and dessert and it was all delicious. My husband's favorite was the fruit crepes Ala mod and my favorite was the lobster bisque. Also, the crusty French rolls were fantastic. Definitely some where you should try if you find yourself in Madeira Beach.

A special place on Madeira Beach completely distinct from your average beach restaurant. The food and service are outstanding and the atmosphere is quaint and cozy. A truly exceptional dining experience!

Food was the best we have had on the island. Service was great.

Everything was delicious! Duck leg, filet minion, lamb chops, crème brûlée, profiteroles strongly recommended! Even the tea is special. This is a French family restaurant and the atmosphere here is cozy and European. Book ahead otherwise you won’t get a seat. Bon appetite!

Just an incredible, delicious meal with excellent service. We were walk-ins and were lucky to get a table on a Thursday night but they were very accommodating and had us seated within 5 minutes. We enjoyed the 4-course dinner special. I had the lobster bisque, lobster penne and creme brulee. My husband enjoyed the onion soup, pork tenderloin and caramel ice cream. We also enjoyed a bottle of Beaujolais, always a rare find. What a treat for vacation and if we are ever back in the area, we will definitely return.

We have lived very close to this restaurant for years and somehow had neglected to try it. Dined there for the first time tonight and it was absolutely fantastic! Wow, I can’t believe how many wonderful dinners we missed, but are looking forward to all the many dinners we will enjoy here in the future. Great atmosphere, terrific service, and truly delicious and amazing French food. You must try it if you’ve never been before. Bob Apetit!

One of my favorite places, great food, relaxed quiet atmosphere, great chef!

The union soup is a killer! I like it so much! The taste is delicate and harmonious.
I like the dessert creme brulee flambe grand marnier (yes that one with flame). It's wonderfully delicious and broadened my intuition/specturm about desserts.
Nice atmosphere for a couple night.

We have been going to the Gulf Bistro for years and it only gets better!
Last night there were four of us and it was one of the best meals ever. Try the Sea Bass if the chef has it on the menu! The lobster pasta was sensational! The French family that owns and runs this restaurant takes great pride in it and it shows in the high quality food and exceptional service. Highly recommended.
