Brigitte Bistro

Petaluma

Why I'm intrigued

Unapologetically classic French bistro cooking, tableside steak tartare included, from a France-trained chef.

What it's known for

Chef-owner Nick Ronan, who trained in France, runs this French bistro out of a small Petaluma room. The menu looks unapologetically classic: beef bourguignon, duck confit, tableside beef tartare, steak frites. A 2026 DiRONA Award recipient.
