Wow- really surprised at the quality of food! This place is fantastic!!! From the road, you'd never know- it looks like a little diner from outside and inside is a jumbled decor or casual & sort of art nouveau- We were here in March so no smelt available yet (we'll be back) so we ordered the mussels, the shrimp salad & the fish- all were fantastic. The potatoes on the fish plate are a stand out- I could eat that fish and shrimp salad everyday and never tire of it It's a small place so make a rez- we showed up right at dinner opening and she said we could have a table but had to be done in an hour- normally that would be enough time but food came out verrrryyyy slowly- she did offer us dessert but I reminded her our time was up and we left- maybe go back for dessert another time read more

5/5! What a wonderful experience and cozy dining atmosphere. I have driven by this place many times and always wondered what was in here. I'm so happy I came in yesterday and enjoyed my solo dinner. I came in and was greeted by the waitress who told me fresh bread was coming up. That bread was so yummy and the butter too! The menu is small, but perfect to try out new recipes. I opted for the bolognese pasta and mussel appetizer. Every item was fresh made and you can tell. The food had a perfect portion for each. The mussels were a good I told them I wanted the sauce mixed with pasta. The bolognese was amazing. Some of the best I have ever tried. The prices were reasonable as well. Please give them a try I'm sure you'll come back for more! read more

Local bistro, really good food and desserts. Service was very good, our server was very attentive. I wish the tables were not so close together, I was literally trapped in my seat. Otherwise, good place to grab a bite. read more

Had dinner here and enjoyed the beef stroganoff, West Bloomfield onion soup, a ceasar salad and the crispy smelt. The staff was attentive and pretty friendly. If you're looking for a good stroganoff or french onion style soup, its a good spot. read more

Bistro Le Bliss - West Bloomfield onion soup, beef stroganoff and crispy smelt. - French Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

Small,quaint restaurant. Very good service. Our hostess was perfect. Don't have a full bar. Sad. Food is outstanding. Highly recommend the smelt app. The truffle frites. The lamb chops are excellent and cooked perfectly. The bolognese is by far the best entree on the menu. My wife has been here 4 times and I have been twice. Every time the food has been great! Give it a go. read more

Great service and food but a very small dining room. Limited menu so they everything on it is done well. Reservations are almost necessary but some tables were not reserved when my group of ten enjoyed the food. From the soup to mains like salmon, lamb chops, dinner salad, and one of the best beef stroganoff I have eaten and it does compare to my standard of Ann Arbor's Webers. Many of us had to take part of our choices home so we could enjoy some of the desserts. The chocolate cake was delicious and almost like a brownie. The cherry strudel could been enjoyed by 2. Of course I took half of my meal home and the stroganoff royal heated up well but could have used more sauce. The cake was also as good. I will be back with my Meetup group since all agreed that we need to. read more

We had 6 people in our party, none of had been to the restaurant before. It is a casual environment but very nicely decorated. Service is excellent, our server took the time to explain all the menu options as well as idiosyncrasies of the dishes, at the end of the meal she even took the time to split the bill for us herself, saving us the problem of going through it ourselves. The food was excellent, everything was good, but the escargot and duck really stood out. Wine list was very serviceable, nice selection of old world wines, nothing extravagant but perfectly designed for the bistro style menu. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Please hire better servers! It can't hurt. Our server could not have been more glib and uninterested if she tried. I asked for "a lot more cream" for my coffee and she merely brought me 2 more creamers. My dining companion ordered ratatouille soup with his dinner and it never arrived. They also said no when I asked if the beef stroganoff could be made without mushrooms since I'm allergic. I literally make this dish at home all the time mushroom-free so I know it's possible! They are probably using sauce that comes in a bag instead of homemade. I hate fennel and unfortunately it's in the meat of the bolognese sauce with pappardelle pasta so I barely ate anything that night except for the bread (which was tough.) My other dining companion had the duck and said the duck itself was delicious and tasted like rotisserie chicken but they thought the sweet potato puree and cherries was just gross. Who wants sweet with their meat? Overall a very disappointing dinner. read more

Always solid food and service. My favorite dinning in the area! Easy to get to. Thank you

Service was excellent. The bistro could use a little updating on its decor, but it's still cozy and fairly quiet. Food was just ok. Presentation was nice, but there was nothing special on 3 of the 4 meals at our table. read more

It's a small place & was very full the night we had dinner. The place appeared clean and the decor was kind of cute & inviting. It was somewhat loud, so conversation was a problem at times. We both had the West Bloomfield French Onion Soup, as I'd heard about it. The 'surprise' is a Matzoh ball in the usual broth. A unique & tasty dish, although I still prefer the regular version without the addition. I ordered the Canard aux cerises (Duck with a cherry sauce) & my friend had the Risotto. Both were delicious and, given how busy it was, they were brought to us fairly quickly. It's rather more expensive than expected, so it remains an occasional treat. Still, I'll be back. read more

Just great food and service. Can't go wrong eating there. Some interesting takes on things like the onion soup. N

The lobster and caviar crostini and the lobster melt pics from here both look so appealing, but alas there is no lobster and caviar crostini or lobster melt, bummer. We ordered a bottle of Pelligrino, Salmon a la plancha Canard aux cerises (duck breast) with asparagus instead of sweet potato purée and two house salad. Our waitress is pleasant, explained the menu, it changes a lot during the pandemic and isn't a French fusion. The cook is also quite amiable and friendly too. It is a quaint spot. Some jazz music in the background. The plates were out after a little while. Ye duck was pink as was the salmon. The duck breast and the salmon are both cooked medium to medium rare here. We had them cook it a bit more to cook it fully. The duck breast meat is fatty, as expected, it's mostly fat. After it was fully cooked, it was still tender, the breast is still a bit chewy and fatty. The salmon after it was cooked was nice and crunchy on the outside from the pan and was cooked all the way through in the oven. The waitress told us fresh bread was baking and would be out soon, we asked her to not bring it out. The house mixed salad is good, the balsamic is yummy. The food and service are quite good here, worth the visit. read more

We had a very pleasant dining experience with a corporate group to celebrate the holidays. The ten of us each enjoyed the entrees especially the coq au vin, salmon ala plancha, and the duck. The desserts were lovingly prepared and the chef came over to say hello with a special treat for our table. Service was excellent. Thank you so much, we will be back. read more

I am rarely in this area because of the traffic, however, the promise of a French restaurant was too appealing to resist, especially since I am sorely missing Mikette and Standard Bistro. The menu at Le Bliss includes some classic French dishes, including coq au vin, Croque Monsieur, Whitefish à la Meunière, ratatouille, and bouillabaisse. I called the restaurant on a recent Saturday to order bouillabaisse, a healthy fish stew, and French fries, for curbside pick-up. The bright blue restaurant is noticeable from the road. The food was brought out soon after I pulled into the parking lot by a polite and respectful staffer. Although I was late and home was 25 mins away, the food was still warm and delicious when I got home. The bouillabaisse was filled with mussels, fish, plump shrimp, and tender baby tomatoes in a fragrant tomato broth. I gobbled up the seafood and slurped up the broth - hey, I was hungry and the food was good. The French fries were thin and crispy, with a tender interior. Yum. I ordered the one with the lobster-flavored cheese sauce. It was a flavorful (and pricey) treat. I plan to try many of the items on the menu. I am determined to have the coq au vin and the whitefish. I hope they add duck to the menu. read more

We went for a special occasion dinner about a year ago and enjoyed all aspects: the food, the service, and the ambiance. It's pricey but worth it. Alas, we just don't splurge very often. read more

We have eaten there two or three times and pleased with the variety on the menu. A plus for us is that it is close to where we live. There is limited seating so I would suggest reservations so make sure you can be seated. Will visit again soon! read more

Love, love, love this place. Food is always excellent & service makes you feel at home. Barramundi was wonderfully grilled & served with couscous with sun dried tomato pistou & mascarpone cheese. Truly delicious. Beef stroganoff was hardy & huge!!! Caesar salad for 2 was large - took some home. Topped off our great evening with creme brûlée. This place is an absolute gem. Hope they put their burger back in the menu. It was the best in town. read more

Food it's not bad but don't deserve the price. Service is not that great as well. Probably won't go there again.

The ambiance was really nice but the service was awkward. None of the Waitstaff seemed very experienced and they were hanging all over the counters playing on their cell phones and chatting. It was difficult to get a someone's attention when my husband discovered his veal chop was cooked closer to blue then his requested medium. Our Server also did things liked laid a steak knife on the table with the pointed end towards me as she lowered it. It's just an unprofessional way to handle a super sharp knife and I felt uncomfortable. Also, there was no apology for the mistake with the veal chop. I thought the food was over all under- seasoned and lacked any depth of flavor. I'm surprised by all the good reviews. I feel a little misled here. read more

This is a new restaurant that describes itself on its website as French inspired Eastern European cuisine. It seemed intriguing enough. I went for a late lunch and was impressed. I had the lobster melt with West Bloomfield onion soup (French onion soup with a matzo ball, instead of of bread). It was quite good and offered an interesting twist on a beloved classic. I also sampled the chicken cordon bleu, the creme brûlée, and the petit gateau, which were all good. The atmosphere was appropriate for a relaxed bistro vibe, the prices were fair relative to quality, and the staff was helpful and polite. I was glad they offered me a dinner menu to check out. That was helpful, as I'll definitely be back to try some more interesting items. With so many boring chain restaurants dominating this area, I always applaud these aspiring independent places when it's obvious their efforts are sincere. These guys seem genuine and the food expresses that. Since they just opened, I added them to Yelp and I hope doing so will encourage others to try something unique in the neighborhood! read more

Drove past every day for years, until a friend asked to meet for dinner there. The experience was so excellent that I'm writing my first Yelp review. The staff was sweet and attentive. The food is excellent and obviously made with care. It's possibly the best meal I've ever had in Michigan. Highly recommend. read more

We made a return visit. Service was again outstanding. Enjoyed the scallop appetizer again. It is amazing. Can't say the same about the beef stroganoff. Beautiful presentation and the beef was very tender but the mushrooms were sparse and the sauce was bland. Will be back but will take a pass on this dish. read more

Here's a new favorite in West Bloomfield. When walking in, you're greeted by friendly staff and both times there, the servers have been super nice and helpful. Its not that big inside, so it's charming and cozy. Of the two soup options I tried, stick with the French Onion. The broth is simply delicious with beautiful and tasty onions. The cheese isn't as thick as other places or traditionally, but that's ok. The uniqueness in this dish is matza balls instead of croutons. It's their interpretation being in West Bloomfield with a larger Jewish population. Its good, it works in it. The Ratatouille soup is good just not as flavorful compared side by side with the onion. Even though we were in for lunch, they let us order the Lobster and Caviar Crostini from the dinner menu. Wow, that's good. Try it at dinner or at lunch if they will do it. That is packed with flavor. If they don't and you still want an appetizer, go no further than the Haricot Vert and Escargot Almondine. Make sure you use the bread to soak up the sauce. Oh my, it's so good! For lunch, let's start with Steak au Poive. It's a good portion of tenderloin and it's tender. Its a good choice. Not my favorite, but don't take that for not a good dish. Stepping up the ladder, a must try dish is the Smoked Salmon Croque Monsieur. I had a hard time choosing if this was my favorite or another. The cheese, the salmon, the bread, it all works and works well together. Here is my favorite. Braised Short Ribs on Brioche. The flavor is "Wow, that's so good", the texture is "Wow, that's so good", and you'll walk away saying, I'm getting that again! I'm looking forward to another return and trying more. It'll be be hard turning down the Short Ribs to try something new, but I'll manage. read more

We have read reviews & were looking forward to trying this place. It was a great meal. The ambience is comfortable & cozy. I ordered the Michigan Salad & it was abundantly filled with blue cheese, walnuts & cherries. Not mostly lettuce, in search of the toppings. My son had the ratatouille soup & steak sandwich with frites, all excellent. We topped off our lunch with the creme brûlée. Delicious. You can tell the chef/owner is working hard to make this a must go to in WB & it shows.... read more

This is one of west bloomfields hidden gems, the kind of place you hesitate to review because you don't want to share it with anyone else. I stumbled upon it one day after being utterly fed up with the food and service at the Red Coat, After having a the burger at Bistro Le Bliss ill never go back to the Red Coat. As far as french bistros go the prices are very reasonable given the quality of the food and service. The decor is clean, quaint and relaxing. The menu is a eclectic mix with some great choices but not too much to be overwhelming like a lot of places nowadays. I look forward to trying out more of the menu in future visits. read more

My wife and I stopped in to try this place for dinner. The service was excellent, the ambiance was nice and from the taste of my Escargot appetizer, I was expecting a lot more flavor from my main entree. I ordered the beef stroganoff and It was a little bland to say the least. The meat was very tender and the pasta had a great bite to it, the sauce didn't taste like anything. The desert we had was amazing though. Chocolate cake with raspberry sauce and drunken cherries. read more

So we tried Bistro Le Bliss for the first time for a birthday tonight. Initially I was not very impressed with the decor but after tasting their bread I quickly changed my mind. Our waiter Jonathan was delightful he gave us some great suggestions and even better service! I had the Lobster and Caviar Crostini (comes with 3) it was pretty good. Then for an entree we had the crispy salmon and Beef Tenderloin. The salmon had a very crispy crust and the Beef had an almond sauce that was very tasty! Overall it was a very pleasant experience. We will definitely be back. read more

As I walked in the fragrant scent of garlic abounded in the air. I knew I had found a wonderful place. Other than meeting someone there for a libation and appetizer I didn't know what to eXpect. Although they don't serve alcohol it is on its way. The menu is French inspired Eastern European cuisine. I ended up having West Bloomfield Onion soup. What is makes it West Bloomfield is a Matzo Ball instead of bread. Tasty and good. My friend has pumpkin spiced soup. We were both very happy and will be back. read more

If you want to try good French cuisine, this is the place. The restaurant had a casual and cozy ambiance that makes it good for casual date or any outing that you want to enjoy good food. It has a feel of family owned restaurant and may not have many waiters and waitresses like a big restaurant, but the lady attending our table would stop by to ensure we have everything we need. I would come back if I'm visiting this area again. read more

West Bloomfield is somewhat of a restaurant desert, but Bistro Le Bliss is definitely worth a visit. Everything was delicious, from the bread and French onion soup to the butternut squash salad and steak frites. (Nice wine list, too!)
