The menu celebrates the bounties of Southwest Michigan and we strive to support local and regional farmers and producers. Our goal is simple; we aim to pair great food with great drink and friendly yet refined service. At The Bistro we accomplish all of this against the backdrop of an established building in charming St. Joseph MI, with the restaurant being transformed into a beautiful, bustling American Bistro.
