Profile

In the increasingly crowded world of Brooklyn bistros, here's what sets this one apart: a friendly welcome, reasonable prices, a mellow garden, and classics like coq au vin and hanger steak executed with aplomb. According to the hands-on owners, though, the wine's the thing—many by the glass, 200 by the bottle, plus a focus on bar food like terrines, tartines, cheese, and charcuterie. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

The food is consistently nice...and I've tried 3 or 4 dishes here. The atmosphere is pleasant. The people are so friendly. The prices are very reasonable. That about sums it up. Go! The dishes I've tried have all had something special about them...a bit of sophistication even though this is basically French peasant food. (I love French peasant food, and Bacchus is a great place to satisfy when I have that craving.)

I simply love this place!

This is the kind of place where you can really relax with great wine and equally great food whether you go for the classics like hanger steak and fries, or escargots, or something a little more unusual such as the pear and goat cheese in puff pastry, for example. It's unpretentious with a super friendly staff. I feel comfortable here whether I'm alone sitting at the bar, or at a table with friends. I often order wine by the glass because I like to try a different one for each of the appetizers I order. Definitely check out their remarkable French wine list.
