GULF BISTRO – French
A French family - chef-owner Frederic, his wife Marie and their daughter - running a small bistro on Indian Rocks Road, where everything is made on the premises, from the lobster bisque through to the desserts. Country-style pork and duck pate, escargots en cocotte and mussels open the meal; mains lean Gulf, with linguine of grouper, salmon, shrimp and scallops in a tomato-asparagus lobster sauce, or salmon crusted in potato under bearnaise. Diners return for the cooking and for the way the family looks after a table. Book ahead. It is small.
