Contemporary French
Bistro Niko is a nod to Paris, right in the heart of Buckhead. The modern French fare is authentic & simple, while the affordably priced wine list, exciting cocktails and extensive craft beer list ensure that everyone finds something to suit their tastes. Grand ceilings, art from Paris and a patio that overlooks Peachtree make Bistro Niko at once a destination and a neighborhood restaurant.

    When we arrived, another couple was waiting to be seated. Hostess eventually arrived. Couldn't understand or hear server due to his mask and thick accent. Table of 5 next to us brought a DOG with them. This was not the 40th anniversary dinner I had in mind. Also if we have dress code, hostesses should too.

    Your patio makes us feel like we are at a bistro in Paris! Excellent service, food and menu. We are especially glad you have so many gluten free choices. (Gf bread would be appreciated, however) The free dessert for our anniversary was very delicious and appreciated.

    We had a fabulous meal and wonderful service from Joshua. My husband had the app special of soft shell crab, endive salad and steak au poivre. He enjoyed everything. I had the 3 course dinner with escargot, sea bass and crème brûlée, all delicious! Out server was wonderful, attentive without being intrusive. Look forward to our next dinner here.

    I was so looking forward in celebrating my wedding anniversary with my husband at our favorite Buckhead Life Restaurant. We specifically decided on this restaurant on 6/3/23, that we have been enjoying for many years, because of our favorite dish beef bourguignon. We were discouraged when we were told that the beef bourguignon was just removed from their menu last week! We spoke with one of the Bistro Niko managers and learned that due to staffing issues, a decision was made to remove this labor intensive dish. How sad :(

    We got outdoor seating which it was a lovely evening for and so much quieter than the inside. If you can imagine sitting on Peachtree street being quieter. Except for the occasional Jackalope racing from stop light to stop light. The food was good. Good but not extraordinary. We both came away going hmm, just wasn't quite what I expected. Not sure why. Nothing just really jumped out at us and it may have been the menu change from our previous visit in December which was extraordinary. Service was fine. Dessert, the Ile Flotanante, was wonderful. Will definitely be back to try again in a few months

    Always thoroughly enjoy this wonderful restaurant!! Quality and consistency are always are a part of the experience. We enjoy escargots and the skate wing which is hard to find on this side of the Atlantic. The chef does such an amazing job with it! The profiteroles to share are a must to end a delicious meal. As a fyi we come all the way from Savannah to eat a delicious French meal in Atlanta . Prices are very fair, service is always very attentive. Thank you to the team at Bistro Niko, we appreciate it very much !

    My husband is immunocompromised, therefore we sat outside. It was windy and very cold. I asked for heat lamps. Was told that they weren't working and downstairs in storage. As a result, my husband is sick with a horrific cold!

    We love Bistro Niko and go as often as we can. My favorite dish has always been the skate wing. It never disappoints. My husband loves the French onion soup, mussels and oysters on half-shell. We have never had a dish we didn’t love.

    As always the food was very good. No one serves as good a french bread as Bistro Nico. One of the entrees as wrong and one of the sides dished didn’y arrive until we complained. The correct entree and correctside dish arrived when we were just about finished with our meals. We should have not been charged for this! Other then that the rest of the meals wwere good.

    One of our favorite places to celebrate a big event. We were there celebrating our son’s graduation and everything was perfect! We love Borgi - his attention to details and service is unmatched. Someone in our party even commented they felt like we were in a restaurant in Paris - the music, the food & drink, the lively atmosphere and energy, all made for a perfect experience.
