Finding a great bistro means you might just find excellent food in an atmosphere you can enjoy. The difference between a simple restaurant and a bistro has to do with the roots. Bistros have their roots in Paris and often serve smaller, simpler meals with a lower cost. However, they are more than just French food here in the United States. Here's a look at a few of the top bistros found throughout Tampa Bay.
