The restaurant had been on my list for a long time, and this weekend we finally managed to visit! We were absolutely enchanted! And for a moment, I felt like I was in a little bistro in Paris. The place is very beautiful and well-decorated, and the staff was very kind the entire time. I chose the fixed menu, and my husband opted to choose his own dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious! Highlights for me were the raclette cheese crepe and the desserts! The waiter Jude was extremely attentive and helpful. We loved the experience and will definitely be back!

I’m French so of course I’m in love with this spot. I started at the bar because I needed to do a little work. The bartender was so nice and I later bought his book about STL. He even signed our books. Thanks Matt! What a gem. Two of my friends crashed the dinner. Bless them. We started with the oysters aka your daily vitamins. Then I got the salmon toast and the gnocchi. Everything I needed all 10 out of 10. Such a beautiful spot, so well done.

This is a great little neighborhood French bistro! They have the best escargot I’ve ever had, fun and delicious little bites, and super tasty cocktails! It’s the perfect spot for a fun outing with friends/coworkers (Spritz Hour!), or a date night with your beau. Next time I want to try the bistro burger, it looked so good!

Hands down the best birthday dinner I have ever had. I am not from Saint Louis, and had a very hard time finding a French cuisine restaurant that ticked all the boxes for food, atmosphere, service. It was absolutely wonderful.
Their cocktail Menus ! Finally a place that really had a refreshing cocktails with color, texture and aroma ! Fabulous
The servers where so sweet, the environment was light calm and intimate. Their plating was beautiful the dishes made you smile.
I could not stop saying YUM throughout the entire meal. The meat MELTED. My dish tasted like a cool summer day in a beautiful garden. So delicious !
They surprised me with a dairy free frozen treat with dark chocolate chips and a candle. Thank you for that I was so surprised and it was lovely.
Our server Emily, thank you for making my birthday very delightful. And thank you to the very tall server sorry I didn’t not catch your name but offering to take a photo of me and my partner – the photo was perfect!
Thank you, I plan to continue return and will try your other restaurants.

This meal was incredible. I didn’t know there was food this refined in St. Louis as it was my first time visiting. My boyfriend and I started off with the Tour de France, which I highly recommend, it was a big highlight of our meal. Next, we got the local asparagus and the steak tartare. I’ve had steak tartare many times and this one was one of my favorites. For the entree, I ordered the trout and my boyfriend got the Parisian gnocchi, both were incredible. We finished off the meal with the pain perdu, it was so satisfying and i cannot stop thinking about how darn good it was! We also had a scoop of their lemon poppyseed ice cream, which i’ve never had anything like before, it was wonderful. Bistro La Floraison really surprised me, the flavors and textures of each bite were extremely mouthwatering and elevated. The service was very good as well which made this the perfect date night!

This is a review from quite a while back, I never really did reviews until just recently, so now I’m going back and reviewing places that I felt deserve it! The French onion soup here was exquisite!!! Not sure that it’s even on the menu at this point because the night that I was there I was told that it was newly on the menu and may only be temporary….regardless it was excellent!!

Incredible food, great atmosphere and fair pricing.
We got crab toast and Parmesan soup for appetizer (both incredible), poached cod (delicate and yummy) and chicken cordon bleu (a bit on the heavier side but also delicious). For desert, pistachio financiers and pan perdu, both of which combined the warmth of the desert with cold ice cream for a delectable experience. Highly recommend, will come back.

Best experience in St. Louis yet! The food was excellent: even the olives were to die for!!! The braised short rib will melt in your mouth. The drinks were perfect. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. And the staff is very helpful and pleasant. Thank you!

Had a wonderful time. We came for our anniversary and the staff was very friendly and told us happy anniversary many times. The food was delicious. I had the stripped bass and my wife had the fried chicken cordon blue and they were both incredible. The bread and butter are great as well. Our server Emily was very friendly and did a great job. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

Must-do for a date in Clayton. You may not speak French but you will get taste of France. Each dish was pice of art: chips with caviar, patte, beef, halibut – all was prepped to perfection.
Space inside and outside, not for a large party. But dinner for two – perfect!
Great, attentive service.
