Marie Louise Bistro

It feels like I'm in French. I truly love the people here and the bartenders are great. If you get a chance, say what's up to Kat I went back here on the 3rd of December 2023 In order Maryland crab soup and brie and apple sandwich. This first incident wasn't very good. The fries where room temperature and the sandwich with lackluster.

On a warm October night, we had a delicious dinner at Marie Louise’s Bistro. Our last time here was about one year ago. We first shared a Mediterranean salad. Then, my husband had the bouillabaisse and I had the shrimp provençale. Everything was very tasty, and it was fun and relaxing to sit outside.

I can always recommend the shrimp provencale, 3 jumbo shrimp in a flavorful garlic sauce on toast points. Since we were splitting that and another dish, we asked the chef to add one more shrimp and toast point so we could each have two and charge us appropriately. Our other dish was just okay, a vegetarian couscous dish with zucchini and garbanzo beans. Thin broth, not hardy enough for my liking. They could use a good tea selection. I think they only had black. Excellent service!

Cute little place to dine outside for dinner. I ordered linguini with clams. It was a little salty, but not bad enough for me not to eat it. I enjoyed it. The crab soup could've used more crab, but it was pretty good. Lots of ppl walked by with dogs and it was fun seeing all the different breeds go by as we ate.

Cute and cozy bistro with GREAT food, coffee, service, and atmosphere. Attentive waiters, lovely decor and interior lighting, great, uncomplicated menu, friendly prices, and wonderful tasting food! I've been twice so far on visits to Baltimore. Most recently, I got the Croque Madame sandwich, consisting of ham, cheese, an egg overeasy, and bread, drizzled with a creamy white sauce and includes a side of delicious thin cut French Fries. It's well presented on the dish, it satiates the appetite, and it doesn't break your wallet. Very delicious and wholly recommended by me! I also got a Cappuccino which, common enough, was delicious and comes in a large cup. The atmosphere, too, is pleasant and feels relaxing to just sip and unwind. They had, too, a live jazz band playing upstairs over the balcony while I dined by the front window below. It was very enjoyable and really elevated the experience. I haven't tried much else yet of the menu, but am looking forward to in the future. I also showed up on a Friday evening without a reservation and didn't encounter any seating problems. Parking outside is paid street parking until, I believe, 6pm (double check and read meters). I didn't encounter any parking issues either, and was able to find a spot pretty quickly. Overall, I love this place and definitely recommend it!! Pricing was $14 for the Croque Madame + Fries, and $5 for a Cappuccino. 5/5 stars from me!

I was walking the neighborhood with friends and randomly stumbled into the restaurant which was a wonderful happy accident. They had a great live music duo playing in the patio outside which really added to the ambiance. I chose the 3 course meal with the MD crab soup, sea bass, and dessert. The crab soup was good, but the highlight was the sea bass with risotto and asparagus. Cooked to perfection! So glad I happened upon this restaurant!

I love coming here. It’s always a nice little spot to sit and have a good meal. The food is great and the owner, Marie, is really sweet. I was introduced to this place by some of my friends who happen to be close friends of the owner and I’m always really pleased every time I come. They are doing outside seating right now with heaters at night and it’s still a nice little cozy setting in Mt. Vernon. Really recommend
