Our welcoming and eclectic atmosphere is appropriate for almost any occasion - whether it be meeting a friend for a drink, celebrating an important event, or relaxing after work. Our menu is a mixture of familiar Pittsburgh foods (think pierogies, hamburgers, French fries) and French bistro classics (beef tartare, raclette, mussels), and seasonal classics that come and go throughout the year. We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch. Menu items change frequently--usually every day--and reflect many long-standing relationships we have with farms and breweries in our region. In addition to reservations, we also have a thirty seat bar that is first come, first serve. We don’t know exactly how old the bar is, but it’s at least seventy years old (probably older) and very cozy. Our friendly bartenders are here to make something you like.

    Finally got to try Poulet Bleu, and I will definitely be back! I've already booked my next reservation. Such a lovely ambience with open air (if its a nice day) and a gorgeous interior. the service was super attentive and we didn't have a singular complaint. Definitely get the french onion soup and the souffle for dessert :)

    The ambiance was fantastic! I loved the outdoor, yet covered patio. The food and drinks were just wonderful. We ended up getting two small plates to share and a large plate each - and walked away more than satisfied, but you could just get a bunch of small plates to share too.

    I LOVE Soba and have been going since it opened decades ago. It is delicious every single time. I went last night with a group of friends. Amazing food. We had the best waiter too. We loved the entire experience. I literally dream about the Crispy Tofu. I could eat it every day.
