" Early visitors to this “cozy” new East Villager tout its “amazing cocktails” and “excellent”, “inexpensive” rustic European-Eclectic dishes that borrow flavors from around the Mediterranean; “accommodating” service and an overall “warm” vibe are other selling points" - ZAGAT

"Much as we enjoyed the mussels sautéed in saffron and hard-cider broth, and the extremely generous tomato, cucumber, and Feta-cheese salad, we have to say, what really stood out were the cocktails by Shige" -NEW YORK MAGAZINE

"I had the French Toast with Sautéed Fruits in Cognac Sauce and it was unbelievably delicious! The French toast, a thick slice of well-made brioche, came generously bathed in a warm Cognac spiked créme anglaise warmed with ripe berries and sweet peaches. Perfection" -DISHOLA

"The Belgian chocolate bread pudding had a thread of fresh raspberries throughout and was served with a vanilla cream sauce that was so delish,I'm still thinking about it!"-LATINA

"Take heart, because Bistrouge's moderately-priced, refined fare won't put you in the red" -SHECKY'S

"Owner has a knack for hospitality, ensuring that her customers leave satisfied with plenty of bang for your buck. A plethora of wines for the pleasure of your palate." -BLACKBOOK
