The Bistreaux by Fleur de Licious

I can’t say enough how much we LOVED our whole dining experience here. The best restaurant we’ve had so far in Columbia South Carolina. Latoya is a sweetheart, and a wonderful host. The restaurant is welcoming and upbeat with great music. The food was delicious and authentic. Definitely try the gumbo, boudin balls, blackened catfish Pontchartrain, blackened ribeye.

All I can say is everything was spectacular from the service to the food! Nick was a great waiter and made sure everything was on point for us! Felicia was a great host with great energy! Chef G is a bad man in that kitchen like all the food was flawless and tasteful! The vibes were nothing but positive in this place! We will be there again and again and again! We really enjoyed everything about this place.

I decided to come here for lunch because one of my friends recommended it and it did not disappoint. It is located in a strip mall but the owners have done a great job making the inside look anything but. The prices are very fair and affordable and the presentation of the food is amazing. We started with the fried green tomatoes and then I had the red beans and rice and my friend got the shrimp po boy. I hope this place stays busy as they should!

I enjoyed an awesome dinner while listening to some New Orleans style music. It was a nice, quaint restaurant with great menu options. The food was so delicious that I had to get an order to order. My server was very nice but I can tell he was in training. Overall, it was a great dining experience and I can't wait to come back with family and friends.

My friend and I stopped in today for a late lunch, and it was AMAZING! I’ve been frustrated with restaurants lately as the food is often nothing special and I feel like I could have made it easier and cheaper at home. The Bistreaux was delicious. I chose the fried catfish and fries which was incredible. The fish was fried perfectly with cornbread coating and the fries were thinly sliced and crisp. The slaw was a coarsely grated cabbage with a perfect dressing. My friend was quite pleased with her catfish étouffe. (She specifically requested to have the catfish on the side.) Our service was personable and kind. We look forward to returning.
