Ville Sainte Bistro

“Went for the softshell crab but was pleasantly surprised by so much more! This tucked away Mount Pleasant gem had the nicest staff. We called to confirm they had softies in stock, made a reservation, and when we arrived they had reserved the for us! Our waiter had such a fun personality full of sarcasm making us laugh throughout dinner and the perfect amount of attentiveness. Very much enjoyed the French wine list, the frog legs were delicious, and we can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! The bar seemed to have several regulars whom the staff warmly greeted. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike!”

“We did not expect this to be as amazing as it was. We had the pear salad, escargot, crusty French bread, French onion soup, and pork chop. Phillipe suggested wine that complemented the dishes perfectly. We finished with creme brulee and coffee. Everything was fabulous. We often go downtown as when we go out to eat we want really great food. We have now found a restaurant in Mt. P. that rivals some of the well known ones downtown. You gotta have the roast potatoes!”

“Ville St. Bistro is a casual upscale French restaurant that hits all the right notes. Refined without being stuffy, relaxed yet elevated. From start to finish, the service was top tier—warm, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable, especially when describing the evening's off menu specials. I began with the shrimp Provençale appetizer, which was light, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. Then came the French onion soup—without exaggeration, the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. The broth was rich and velvety, the onions deeply caramelized, and the cheese topping was perfectly melted over a toasted slice of bread. Absolutely incredible. The French bread, served warm, had a perfect crust and airy interior, ideal for dipping or enjoying on its own. For the main course, I had the lamb chops with a balsamic reduction sauce, and they were excellent. Tender, juicy, and perfectly balanced with the sweet tang of the reduction. Paired with a glass of Bordeaux wine, it was a flawless combination. They also featured enticing off menu specials like a refreshing watermelon salad, a buttery lobster roll, a thick juicy pork chop, and flavorful baked oysters. Ville St. Bistro is a standout in Mt. Pleasant and a must visit for anyone who appreciates top quality French cuisine, excellent wine, and genuine hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning and bringing friends.”

“Amazing meal! We started with a cheese board which was beautiful with great cheeses and accouterments. My husband had the pork chop and I had a lamb sausage dish. You can tell they cook with love and authenticity. Perfect choice for my birthday!”

“This was the first place I tried when I was looking for Valentine's Day reservations and I lucked out getting bar seats. Wife was a bit put off at first when she saw the big screen tv replaying AFC championship and Super Bowl but after we got seated and had the food it was all forgiven. We were adventurous and tried the escargot, was not what I expected in a good way. Our servers were very attentive and made the night very special. It was a longer evening than we anticipated but well worth it!”
