The best bistros in Adelaide, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Bistro Français comes out on top.

Rank 1. Bistro Français
Bistro
A neighborhood French bistro on King William Road, where the posters and pendant lights have the look down so cold you half expect a waiter to sigh at you in the right accent. The menu runs the greatest hits: onion soup, duck confit, escargots, a chicken liver terrine you'll claim is for sharing. It's relaxed, not stiff, and it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, so the bill stays friendly.

Rank 1. Part Time Lover
Contemporary Australian Bistro
Part Time Lover is a bistro on King William Street that runs from breakfast through late-night cocktails, so you can commit to it for an entire day without anyone checking your references. The room is warm timber inside with a sunny terrace out front, and the menu is shareable, modern Australian with Asian and Mediterranean detours. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and weekends fill up fast, so book ahead.

Rank 3. Press* Food and Wine
Australian Bistro
Press* Food and Wine is a stylish city restaurant near Light Square with a bistro's laid-back attitude and a bar that's doing most of the flirting. Window booths face the street, and the tables inside are intimate enough that you'll know your neighbor's order. The kitchen pairs European habits with local ingredients, so the menu can put kangaroo tartare and a mushroom pithiver in the same breath. There's a tasting menu if you'd like the chef to explain themselves.
