Bistro d'Azur

September 14th 2025 update, photos added at end- Had the pleasure of visiting a 3rd time and meeting again with our friends Isabelle and Max, and the formidable Chef Krug. Also had the privilege of meeting Helen, the perfectly gracious and accomplished proprietress of the restaurant. Exquisite to experience the themes and variation evolution of the dishes. Highlights from this particular evening include: • Mushroom risotto incorporating Fava beans inserts of asparagus for greater textural harmony • Fluke with more tempered garlic flavor allowing sweetness of polenta to feature more prominently • Swordfish accompaniments orzo having more feta melted in for further creaminess, olive tamponnade topping as sweeter offset to the seafood brine • Hudson Valley duck breast with gentler sear and mo

Recently hosted a special event here and the experience was so remarkable I had to share. We had 50 people and everything from the moment guests arrived till they left was perfect. Isabelle guided us through every step and the ambiance, service, and mostly importantly for me - the food, was exceptional. We started with a table for hors d’oeuvres, had a salad course, and then a buffet lunch where grilled salmon and a roasted chicken dish were the stars along with a delicious accompaniment of sides. It was an important day for us and everyone at Bistro D’Azur, with particular gratitude for Isabelle again, made it perfect. Highly recommended for any special occasion or non-special occasion. This place is just lovely.

We recently had my daughter's bridal shower at Bistro d'Azur. It could not have been more perfect. Not only was the food delicious and abundant, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff could not do enough for us. Anything that I asked for was taken care of immediately and nothing was a problem for this wonderful staff. Isabel was such a pleasant and easy person to work with. I wish I could do it again, but I only have one daughter! We will certainly return for a delicious and relaxing meal in the near future!

Bistro d’Azur in South Orange was the perfect place for my wife and me to host our baby shower. We truly had a spectacular time from start to finish. The decor was creative, beautiful, and thoughtfully done, making the whole space feel special and celebratory. The service was outstanding throughout the event: attentive, friendly, and seamless, which let us actually relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. A huge shoutout to our point of contact, Isabelle. She was incredibly organized and responsive, and made planning everything feel easy. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers both atmosphere and top-tier hospitality, Bistro d’Azur is a fantastic choice.

Bistro d’Azur was an amazing experience from start to finish. Every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. You can truly taste the quality and care in the food. That said, I’m a huge lobster fan, and the lobster crepe had me literally salivating… rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. The service was immaculate, attentive, warm, and on point the entire time. Between the incredible food, welcoming atmosphere, and top-tier service, this place is a true gem and one I can’t wait to go back to.
