Duck l'orange
Stephanie W.

I can't believe it has taken me this long to have dinner at Bertrand. My husband and I felt fortunate to get a reservation on a Friday. I highly recommend calling ahead, as this petite restaurant often books out during the weekend. My husband got the duck l'orange. The skin was crispy and the sauce sticky. I got the halibut with the tarragon sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked!!! The tarragon basil pesto sauce was light and the side of peppery arugula salad was a nice acidic complement to the meaty fish. It is clear the owner cares deeply about high quality ingredients, exceptionally cooked cuisine and pays very close attention to details. I'm looking forward to enjoying my next dinner on the patio. See you soon!

Bertrand's is reservation only and BYOB. This cozy little spot was beautifully decorated for the holidays and their staff was so lovely! We got a variety of things - my favorites were the escargot, pomme frites (dare I say, some of the best in town), French onion soup, beef bourguignon, and the orange duck (sadly not pictured because I was too excited to eat it which means I'll have to come back!).

Beef bourguignon

Went here with my mom on a Thursday night. The ambiance and dining rooms are beautiful. I had the Boeuf Bourguignon and it was out of this world delicious. My mom ordered the salmon and she loved it. We also ordered the pomme frites but they were not what I expected. They were tasty but not the shoestring fries which is what I experienced while living in France. The owner came out to talk with us which was awesome. He has had such an interesting life. Highly recommend trying this place out!

Amazing dinner experience at Bertrand!! The appetizer options are a little limited but everything's great! We had the escargots and chicken liver pate - so good. For large plate, we went for the scallops with asparagus and beef Bourguignon with mashed potatoes, both recommended by our server Emily. And they were super flavorful and delicious - especially love the scallops, very fresh and cooked to perfections! Shout out to Emily - she's super friendly and gave great recommendations. Both the interior and patio are gorgeous, it's hard to pick lol but with either one, you won't disappoint! Overall highly recommend if you are looking for an authentic French cuisine!

Steak au poivre, duck a l'orange, asparagus and pâté.

We found this gem on our last trip to Pittsburgh. We came twice in one week last time, so we had to come back. It was just as delicious as we remembered. The escargot was tender and delicious and the pate was wonderful. Then we had the duck a l'orange and steak au poivre for the main course, both delicious. And we finished with pot de crème and cheesecake. And several to go boxes. Absolutely love this place. Wish we could bring it back to North Carolina with us. We haven't been here when it's been warm enough for the patio, but the outdoor area is so cute and looks like it will be great when the weather warms up. We will be back on our next trip. You should definitely come here.

We've been here twice. Tonight we celebrated a 33 year anniversary. I had the scallops, my husband the pork chop. Everything was delicious. Lou greeted us and made us feel like we entered our own dining room. Throughout the night, we heard him greeting several diners warmly. Shannon, guided us on menu options. With champagne (BYOB) and delicious entrees, we had a lovely night. All was topped off with a refreshing key lime dessert. Can't wait to return!!

Not sure where to start. Our friend group celebrates birthdays and we picked Bertrand for the May birthday girl. The vibe: charm, simple elegance. We sat inside because there were 11 of us. Emily was our wonderful server and manager; she was supported by Lili. Our wine was uncorked immediately so the party started (BYO BTW). We started with escargot, delicious! For entrees, quite a variety. Several had the beef bourguignon. Everyone loved it. Two of us had the salad nicoise with perfectly seared ahi tuna and an amazing tarragon dressing, almost a pesto. Other entrees enjoyed included the pork chop, the halibut and the lamb. Sides were ok, very small, but the entrees were generous. We shared a few desserts, pots de crème, French cheesecake and key lime cheesecake. The owner, Luigi "Lou" spent significant time with us making sure we were taken care of. Lovely evening, perfect meal and experience. Definitely coming back.

Definitely worth checking out if you're interested in comfort food mixed with French cuisine. Loved their Bourguignon!

Should one make a reservation for a Friday night dinner around 6?

Yes I would suggest making a reservation as the restaurant doesn’t have a large number of tables and it is very busy on Fridays.

Was admittedly unaware of this restaurant, and I'm feeling incredibly guilty for it.... Overall an…read moreexcellent experience - every single dish we had was amazing, top to bottom. Service was also very friendly and personable. We ate in the back courtyard, it was hot, but we were so preoccupied by how good the food was, it wasn't a problem. I'd like to try sitting inside the restaurant, but when it's a bit cooler. One critique I'd offer is that two of us ordered the "pot pie" dish, which tasted great but the temperature was too high - we had to wait 15-20 minutes for any small amount of heat reduction. Perhaps that's something to look into, but the dish was still excellent. Note that it's cash and/or Venmo only, so be prepared before visiting.

I'm really disappointed hearing about how a group of young customers were treated here. They paid…read moretheir bill but did not have enough cash left for a 20% tip, and the server allegedly confronted them, raised her voice, and made them feel like they were not allowed to leave unless they tipped 20%. If a restaurant requires automatic gratuity, that needs to be clearly stated ahead of time and shown on the bill. Tips should not be demanded after the fact through pressure or intimidation, especially with younger customers who may not fully understand the restaurant's cash/card policies. This should have been handled with professionalism, not embarrassment or intimidation. they didn't know it was cash or or cash app or venmo and these kids panicked to make sure that they could pay and came up with it and my question is why can't they take tap on venmo i'm a small business owner and I can use tap to pay with Venmo. You didn't need to embarrass them and make them have a horrible experience. I would've came myself later on as a parent feeling bad about what the experience was and made sure that that waitress got a huge tip now me and my family will never come there. And I will never encourage anybody to go there. You embarrassed a bunch of kids I hope you're proud of yourself. these kids came specifically here because they went to France with their high school and wanted to experience the vibe that Cafe Du Jour had to offer and felt mortified, which is an understatement.

Stopped in for lunch…read more Ordered the Fig and Walnut salad. They didn't have figs so they substituted 2 strawberries cut in half. Dressing and greens were fresh - the strawberry substitute was meager at best. Had mussels and fries. The mussels were perfect. The fries were coated in salt and not edible unless the salt was scrapped off. When asked about the salt, the waiter called them "atypical". So, why were they served if not how they typically prepare them? No offer to make it right was forthcoming. Also ordered the French Onion Soup - it was mostly bread - yes, mostly bread. The broth and cheese were fine but I left a bowl full of onion soup soaked bread behind in the bowl. Service was slow even though the restaurant was not busy. Had a beer and a bottle of still water which was fine. Total bill, before tip was $100. Was charged $103 as they added $3 for credit card use. Ok, I get it, but this is really odd anymore and added insult to injury as the dining experience was not good. Restaurants are struggling and my wife and I support local spots all the time. Unfortunately we won't be back. Hopefully they'll climb out of it and remain viable. Three stars is generous and recognition for their longevity- maybe we caught them on a bad day.

Apteka is one of my favorite restaurants, period. One of my biggest gripes about eating out is…read morethat everything is always so unhealthy and expensive. This isn't the case at Apteka, where everything is homemade and plant based. Despite the love and care that is put into each dish, the prices remain low (your entire meal will be less than the cost of a single steak at a traditional restaurant). The ambiance is a bit chaotic, so I recommend outdoor seating if possible. They don't take reservations, so you will have to wait unless you show up well in advance of opening. All of this is worth it! Everything is good here, but the ice cream we had on our last visit was exceptional. I was so full, but I would have eaten a second scoop. If ice cream is on the menu, get it. They use a dense cashew cream, which is imo the best base for vegan ice cream. I wish they would open up in DC, but this is the type of place that can only exist somewhere like Pittsburgh. If you are in the area, run there!

I went on a Thursday to the wine bar version of this restaurant (vinoteka) and got exactly what I…read moreexpected. Excellent Polish food on the limited menuand an excellent matching wine list, thoroughly modern. It feels sleek and casual, with a professional and knowledgeable crew. Seating is chaotic since there aren't any reservations and you sit wherever there is space. I had fried pierogis and a cold beet soup. Packed with flavor and excellent on a warm summer night. The wine went so well with the food; I think it was all Eastern European wines, since what grows together goes together.
