Le Rendez-Vous Bistro

Have been coming to this Mom-and-Pop restaurant since the late 90s. Food is authentic French cuisine (portions are small) and very tasty. I suggest trying their tasting menu. Place is not spacious, with about 8 tables. You can being your own bottle of wine. Staff is very friendly. Easily accessible from the Garden State Parkway.

We went for our first restaurant dinner since the shutdown in March to le rendez vous bistro! We could not have chosen a better place! We had the tasting menu and were absolutely delighted. Philippe is a first class chef👍 and the food was fresh and tasty. We wish them all the best in these difficult times. Do visit them an enjoy the outstanding food👌

This place never disappoints! The food was delicious, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. Don't even think about skipping dessert. Very charming ambiance, but a little tight to call it truly romantic. I would go every week, if I had the means.

This is one of the best French Restaurants in the area as the food is absolutely fabulous! The quaintness of the restaurant recalls my life in France where family run restaurants are not a business necessarily but more a labor of love. Chef Phillipe is truly a master chef with a love of doing it perfectly, no matter how long it takes. Relaxed dining and the love of your company provide you a unique experience facilitated by absolutely delicious food second to none. This is the best French restaurant in Union county hands down. Merci bien Chef!

Highly recommended. Never had French food before here. Atmosphere was awesome. Claudia up front is warm and welcoming. I was extremely impressed. Philippe in the back is a Genius. My wife had the lamb chops which I've never personally had before, why I do not know? Being a steak guy I could of sworn it was and/or was better than a filet mignon. I had a scallops special. Everything was cooked perfectly. The desert you can tell were made all fresh and with fresh ingredients. We will certainly be bac.

The food was fantastic! The menu isn't very accommodating for vegetarians but the chef was able to whip together a fantastic dish. The service was great and the owner came to see how we were doing and was very pleasant to talk to. Will definitely be returning.

Beautiful cozy place! Loved the escargot,French onion soup and brie-mozzarella appetizers. The duck was great and the fish assortment was an experience to be repeated. Desserts we tried were delicious caramelized banana and the trio with creme brulee!

Adorable private little bistro with amazing food. The owner puts a lot of love in his food. Everything is fresh. Definitely a place to go to for a exquisite experience. Will definitely come back to try more things in the future. Thank you.

This is my favorite French restaurant, great atmosphere, handful of tables, very cozy. Some think it's expensive, some say you get what you pay for. Menu is constantly changing, my favorites are bouillabaisse, magret de canard and pan-seared Foie Gras is simply amazing. Chef Philippe is a true master, very friendly and down-to-earth.

Treat yourself to a wonderful experience. Bring a good bottle of French wine to go with the best French meal you can have this side of Paris. Chef Philippe is truly an artist, and this will be a meal you will remember with joy for a long time.

Wow! My wife and I have been looking forward to the Rendez-Vous for months but saved it for a special event.
The restaurant and staff lived up to the hype of the reviews and then some. The escargot was a special surprise, served in a crock with mushrooms, tomatoes, fava beans and a tasty sauce. Entrée portions were generous and delicious. Lamb and beef were cooked to absolute perfection.
We can't wait to bring friends and family to share this gem!!

My wife and I really like Le Rendez-Vous Bistro and in fact it is our favorite. The restaurant has a real charm and authenticity. The chef uses great ingredients and meals are prepared and served as well as the NYC more expensive options.

Greatest French food around. The Chef is truly a man that knows his craft. BYOB and there's a liquor store across the street so it's no problem if you forget.

Superb. Arrive early, bring your wine and sit back and enjoy the evening. After over 10 years, this restaurant remains a very special treat.

Exceptional. The menu is exquisitely planned, with interesting plays on classic combinations. The execution is always perfect. Large portions. This is a true gem. Worth every penny.

I'm writing to let everyone know that the menu posted in this post IS NOT LE RENDEZVOUS BISTRO MENU. IT HAD NEVER BEEN!
So do not take this menu that was not posted or aproved by Philipe Lievre the owner -chef of this restaurant go to his face book page or call him!

Great place to eat dinner and just have a nice experience with the food , on thing i would recommend is that on weekends to make a reservations for early in the day before 7 pm to beat the rush hour.

Love this place and enjoy going there for my birthday every year. My favorite dish is the crab salad and the rabbit.

I love this restaurant the food is outstanding . Claudia is the best. Felicidades! Que viva Colombia y Francia

Le Rendez-Vous is simply the best of the best. Philippe is a master chef, Claudia the consummate hostess.
