My friends and I had a wonderful lunch! I enjoyed the beef Bourguignon and mashed potatoes, which were perfect for a chilly day. My friends loved the pâté, mussels, and steak tartare. We look forward to returning to Bistro Niko soon! Our server was fabulous and chose an excellent selection of wines for us! 🥂
