The start

Our culinary journey at Bistro Des Artes began with a basket of warm, freshly baked French bread paired with creamy French butter. The irresistible combination of crusty bread and velvety butter was a delightful way to kick off our meal. We found ourselves reaching for not just one, but two loaves of this throughout the evening.
For starters, we indulged in their burrata, a family favorite that never fails to impress. The creamy cheese was served in the center of a plate with heirloom tomatoes, crunchy pine nuts, and aromatic fresh basil.



The burst of flavors and textures in this dish was a true delight for the taste buds. Paired with the burrata was the tuna tartare, featuring yellowfin tuna and creamy avocado marinated in a zesty ceviche sauce, accompanied by crispy toast. The play of contrasting flavors – from the richness of the tuna to the creaminess of the avocado, and the crunch of the toast – created a symphony of taste sensations that left us wanting more.
Tucking into the mains


Moving on to the main course, we opted for the Filet De Boeuf, a generously portioned dish that easily served two with its succulent slices of beef. The dish was perfectly plated by our attentive server and accompanied by a medley of roasted vegetables, gratin dauphinoise, and a tangy béarnaise sauce. The beef, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor, was a true showstopper that we savored with every bite. The creamy gratin dauphinoise and tangy béarnaise sauce further added to the dish, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that delighted our palates.
French desserts


To round off our culinary journey through France, we indulged in classic French desserts that were simply heavenly. The Fondant Au Chocolat, a rich and decadent chocolate cake oozing with molten chocolate, satisfied our sweet tooth and left us craving more. The second dessert, a traditional Tarte Tatin, showcased the iconic French pastry in all its glory. This upside-down apple tart, caramelized to perfection with butter and sugar, was a sweet symphony of flavors that transported us to the charming streets of Paris with every bite.
The conclusion
With its renowned culinary traditions, France is globally acclaimed for its food culture, with the United Nations even acknowledging French cuisine as a cultural treasure. UNESCO emphasizes the significance of French cuisine in uniting individuals through the enjoyment of fine dining and beverages, as well as its ability to foster a sense of community, appreciation for flavors, and a harmonious relationship between people and nature. In essence, in France, dining experiences are cherished, ingredients are revered, and the act of sharing enhances the overall enjoyment of a meal.
What I love about French food is the use of fresh ingredients, simplicity, and the fact that irrespective of how much you eat, you never really get over satiated. As we savored the last morsels of our desserts, we enjoyed a comforting cappuccino and fragrant mint tea, bringing a perfect conclusion to our unforgettable dining experience at Bistro Des Artes. From the cozy ambiance and stunning views of the Marina to the exquisite French dishes on offer, this charming bistro truly captures the essence of Parisian dining. Whether you’re a connoisseur of French cuisine or simply seeking a taste of France in the heart of the city, Bistro Des Artes promises a culinary journey like no other.
