Pleased to report that Chez Bob is STILL a model French bistro. It serves its loyal local clientele very well and does not try to surprise with foreign (non-French) flavours. The layout of the tables and café chairs, the setting, the menu, the prices, the quantity of baguette served and the aprons and accents of the waiters are precise. It is very popular and often booked out with an older local crowd who really like to BYO and enjoy themselves without inhibition of formality or high prices. There is a lot of light coming in from the street at the front and from the glass windows to the courtyard which is popular in warm weather.
