Established in 1998, Bistro Vida is a neighborhood restaurant inspired by the great Parisian bistro culture and traditions of French cooking. Our mission is to bring the joie de vivre, comfort, and community of the City of Lights to downtown Menlo Park. The name " Vida" the Spanish word for life, was chosen as a toast to the enjoyment of life, love, and food. Each delicious detail of the chic interior from the smart bar to the blackboard menus, the huge cylindrical chandeliers to the long mirrors reminiscent of brasseries has acquired a warm patina over the years.

Canteen is a casual Wine Bar from Chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel, of Camper fame. The restaurant is conveniently located at the corners of Oak Grove + Garwood avenues in Menlo Park just a short hop and skip away from the Menlo Park Caltrain Station. Featuring an ever changing mix of seasonally driven small plates, tapas, and larger dishes, alongside a menu of craft cocktails, great wines by the glass and the bottle, and non-alcoholic options, Canteen is the "Urban Oasis" Menlo Park has been clamoring for. The vibe is laid back with a mix of bar, communal, informal style seating. Canteen is the perfect place to meet up with friends, family and colleagues, for whatever reason (or no reason at all). In the warmer months Canteen features an expansive outdoor patio, perfect for sharing a pitcher of Sangria and a symphony of small plates + pintxos.

Shiok! Singapore Kitchen offers a selection of authentic Singaporean food in a casual and friendly environment. We hope you will enjoy our home-cooked flavors and find it a Shiok experience too. Singapore is a multi-ethnic society made up of Chinese, Malay, and Indian, whose immigrant forefathers brought with them rich food traditions from across Asia. Typical Singaporean food is thus an exciting blend of culinary heritage based on some of Asia's greatest cuisine. This combination creates a unique and dynamic flavor more lively and far richer than the traditions from which they stem.

    We ate dinner at 2pm on Thanksgiving. The food was very good with quite a few choices. Service was prompt and attentive. We were seated in a quiet area. Seating in both outside and inside areas worked well as we were crowded into an area with too many people and too much noise.

    Great food and staff. Best to come on an early weeknight for dinner. Noise can get loud, but the food and experience is worth it. Awesome seasonal dishes thoughtfully prepared and plated.

    The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable but did not hang around and interrupt our dinner. The food was outstanding, the Patatas Bravas were crispy and flavorful, the octopus was tender and had just the right amount of char on it, and the churros were well balanced with a crunchy exterior a slightly chewy interior and not overly sweet like so many churros you get in a restaurant.
