LOVE it here! Intentional food - the flavour, plating, ambience. The menu choices, down to the dessert, is art. Very happy and will keep coming back.

We had our staff Christmas party at St. Tropez. Cher was wonderful to deal with prior to the event, and throughout we were very well cared for by the delightful Sam. Food was great - shoutout to the lamb and the spinach balls which were the favorites. Anyone with a unique dietary need was quietly and well cared for. Thank you for creating a wonderful time!

Sweet little restaurant in downtown Saskatoon. Food was simple but incredibly delicious, reasonably priced and arrived quickly. Atmosphere was pleasant and waitress was friendly. Washroom was clean. I would definitely return!

Very tasty but the portion sizes were very small, especially for the price. Had the pickerel – four bites, but as said, very tasty – and the pave, which was about a quarter inch thick. Again, super tasty, but left wanting more. Not a restaurant for someone looking for a filling meal. But tasty!

First visit at St. Tropez Bistro and it was a hit! For appetizers, the buns had a slight sweet taste to them and were accompanied by lemon and garlic butter. The spinach balls had such a unique flavour, they were served with dill and oil that not only looked so wonderful, it complimented the spinach balls perfectly! I'm not usually one for mushrooms but with that being said, the mushroom tartlets tasted great and they were served with a balsamic glaze. For entrees, the bison ribs (meat fell right off the bone) were served with fresh veggies and mashed potatoes. The gnocchi had chopped almonds which gave it a nice crunch! For dessert, lavender honey lemon posset, pave de chocolat and homemade ice cream! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! If I had to pick something from each course though, I would give it to the spinach balls, gnocchi and pave! I joked with the server that I wish I could have a bag of those spinach balls and eat them like chips! The server was very friendly and efficient, always coming by to refill drinks. The food was served in a timely manner but by no means rushed! Ambience was very nice too! I didn't know until yesterday that St. Tropez Bistro and Parlour are owned by the same person and operate with the same kitchen! Would absolutely reccomend and plan to return!

Hidden gem in Saskatoon - I tend to forget how good this place it! We had the crispy tofu for an appetizers and the bison short ribs and gnocchi for main course. All was delicious!

This is such a well hidden gem in the city. The atmosphere is so quaint and intimate, and the food and service simply outstanding. This would be a fantastic date night spot, or I would even book the private room for a special occasion. Really amazing place and very impressive experience and food for the cost. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!!

Food and service were as good as we remembered from years before. We started with charcuterie and carpaccio ~ $20 each. Then the Bison short ribs and Lamb shoulder ~ $45 each (both were amazing!) and finished with a chocolate pave $12. Also had a couple of cocktails and a bottle of merlot (excellent) recommended by our server from their extensive wine list. Highly recommend, especially for anniversaries, etc.

A lovely little restaurant with some interesting choices. The spinach balls are great. My wife had the chicken and I had the duck, both were great and came with carrots and squash (not listed) that were delicious. The chocolate pave was also amazing.

Group of 5 people. For appetizers we ordered the prawns, mushroom tarts, and spinach balls to share. Collectively we tried the duck, lamb, and bison entrées. We also ordered several desserts, two bottles of wine, and some aperitifs. Everyone was very happy with their meal. Service felt a little disjointed. No real problems arose, but the servers seemed rushed, so perhaps they were under-staffed. Expensive, but for a fine dining experience its as good of value or better than any other restaurant in the province. We will most certainly be going back.

came here for a three course meal and some drinks with my boyfriend. such a lovely little place! great service and even more delicious food. easily my favourite meal i ve ever had at a restaurant. the tourtiere was top notch, and the lime and thyme sorbet was deliciouuuussss. such a cozy and romantic environment. very friendly staff. will definitely be back!! was only about $200 for a three course meal and a drink or two for two people. simply lovely. definitely make a reservation. place is tiny but that s what makes it so cozy and private feeling. Dietary restrictions: i have quite a few dietary restrictions and st tropez was very accommodating. they recommend calling in advance about dietary restrictions. please do!

Hidden gem! We visited St. Tropez Bistro on a Saturday evening and enjoyed the four-course meal. The food was wonderful, as was the wine and service. The atmosphere was very inviting, and we were able to enjoy conversations with our friends in the packed restaurant without having to shout (which is a huge plus when youre spending a few hours catching up over a meal). Cant believe Ive never been before! This is my new favourite Saskatoon restaurant.

We have been to St Tropez many times. Tonight we chose to go to the upstairs area (sorry, cant recall the name). Excellent atmosphere, music, service and food. Had the charcuterie and chicken sliders which were both flavourful and well plated. You can never go wrong with this place and as always, the owner swung by to say Hello and chat. Overall a wonderful experience as always.

St. Tropez Bistro is hands down the best restaurant in Saskatoon. My husband and I have been there several times and each time our experience has been better than the last. Their use of unique herbs and fresh ingredients is always phenomenal! It s obvious that each dish is prepared with extreme pride. I always recommend this restaurant to everyone that asks me where they should go for a great meal.

Small restaurant that if you d be lucky to get a table if you didn t book a reservation. We booked on open table and were seated quickly. One server seemed overwhelmed and slightly frantic as she walked around the front of the house unfocused. She would stop by our table to check on us very few times and we waited about 10 minutes before she took our drink order. We had the soup and the charcuterie board to start and the food came out fast and fresh. I ordered a beer and it came out in the can and a cup on the side. The food was delicious and well presented. Dessert was also very good as well. The front of the house could have used a second server as she appeared over worked and it showed in her lack of attention.

Owners Cher and Jason are two of the kindest and most accommodating folks I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Food is always top notch, with classic elements complimented by Jasons innovation. We have every single significant date and occasion with them and I encourage anyone to do the same. You will not be disappointed. We are lucky to have such a wonderful gem like St. Tropez Bistro in our city.

Nice little place, great ambiance. The menu had a good selection of food and drinks. Service was good, quick and very polite. The food was good, I got the duck, and the lentils and the roasted vegetables really shone. However the duck itself and the chokeberry sauce was very bland tasting. Was expecting some tartness from the chokeberries but found it didnt have much of a taste. The duck was cooked nicely but just didnt have a wow factor for the taste, Ive had much better duck elsewhere. The lentils and vegetables were good but overpowered the duck. Overall nice experience, with good food but perhaps something else on the menu would have been even better.

Wow. Visited this place quite a while back, but it was certainly a meal to remember. It s a very small, cozy restaurant with just a few staff members. Each of them are delightful and kind. The food is awesome. Everything was cooked very well, seasoned to perfection, and just perfect. I think everyone at our table was thoroughly impressed by this small, little restaurant.

What an excellent dining experience! The service was great-- allbeit a little robotic if that makes sense. There were very few people around which took away from the ambiance. The food was delicious, but not as highly elavated as one would expect. For an appy, we got the carpaccio, which was great. The bread could have been fresher and needed more agressive seasoning, but overall was great. We had the duck (was recommended to us) and the gnocci which was lovely! The duck was perfectly cooked and featured lovely fall root vegetables. The gnocci was great as well, however was sort of...one note. For dessert we had the creme caramel, which was fantastic! It would have been even better if it had some crunch or other form of texture, but the flavour was great! My only complaint was that our red wines were chilled and not in the cleanest glasses which made it hard to enjoy. Overall, a great experience!

We hosted our wedding dinner here after having to relocate our wedding to Saskatoon at the last minute due to covid restrictions in another province. Owners Cher and Jason were wonderful to work with and created a dream dining experience for this special day. I truly believe our dining experience here far exceeded anything we had planned at our original venue. We had a four course wine pairing dinner with incredible wines handpicked from their collection. The food was flavorful and beautiful in presentation. The aesthetics of the restaurant itself lended to the ambiance as well. The children present were easily accommodated with special/simpler kid meals perfected to their liking. From 18 months to 80 years old, everyone found this to be an excellent dining experience. Highly recommend!

Nice atmosphere, attentive and accommodating staff, but the food quality for the price is not good. The pork tenderloin was presented as a chunk rather than sliced, was dry, under-seasoned, and was accompanied by bland and uninspired sides. A lot more is to be expected from a restaurant with 25-38$ entrees.

I d been to St. Tropez Bistro before, but years have passed. (So many restaurants in Saskatoon it s easy to forget.). I struggle at times with noise in restaurants, either from music or the kitchen combined, so when I find a place where I don t struggle to communicate, I m very happy. Cher greeted and seated us, and served us an amazing meal! The presentation was lovely, with fresh garnishes from their rooftop garden, and beautiful wine choices. Jason s expertise in the kitchen is evident! The soft music made it so easy to talk it was an amazing experience. I m sorry this little gem of a restaurant had slipped my mind for a time. People and clients often ask me if I have a favourite restaurant in Saskatoon. I usually list off a few, giving pros and cons of each. But St. Tropez Bistro will no doubt be at the top of my list w/o hesitation. I can t wait to return!

Very small servings of non-tasty food for very high price. I ordered the chicken with mushroom and a side of rice thinking that it would be a nice sauce but the piece of chicken was tiny...about half the size at a normal restaurant, a couple of mushrooms were burned onto the chicken, and the side of rice was 2 tablespoons of cold rice. They also included 2 tablespoons of three been salad on the very large white plate. My plate was two thirds empty. Why didnt I complain? To whom? The server was rarely around, very slow in getting our food to us...90 minutes...and didnt come around again till she gave us the bill with 18% tip built into it. Many of us were hungry enough to ask to go to McDonalds afterwards....

This quaint little restaurant is charming and we were very satisfied by the experience.
