Alex Fischbach 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★We recently came here with friends and had a really great experience! The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was cozy and charming, and the food was excellent. We shared the lamb meatballs, mussels, and baked feta cheese dip to start, and all of them were delicious. For our mains, we ordered the steak frites with truffle fries and shared the crab mac & cheese, which was one of our favorite things we tried. We also had the chocolate crème brûlée and dulce de leche ice cream for dessert, and both were great. Overall, everything we ordered was incredible and we’ll definitely be back!

Kelly Bach 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★We had such a great experience here today! We ordered the watermelon salad, Caesar salad, cheese dip, oysters, and fries, and every single thing was delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly exceeded our expectations. The service was even better. Mason was our server, and he was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The overall vibe of the restaurant was relaxed, and inviting. We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to try more from the menu. Highly recommend!

Daniel Fuqua 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★Another gem in NSB! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ City Market Bistro is truly one of the standout spots in New Smyrna Beach. We applaud this restaurant for its attention to detail, thoughtful décor filled with unique art, and high-quality ingredients that shine in every dish. One thing we absolutely loved is that the tables are lined with paper so guests can draw right at their seat—and if your artwork is good enough, they’ll even feature it on their website. An artist’s dream spot and such a fun, creative touch! We started with the French Onion Soup, which was warm, comforting, and beautifully nostalgic. The crab cake followed—fresh, creamy, and full of flavor, easily one of the best we’ve had in the area. For entrées, I ordered the Lamb Burger with fresh-cut French fries. The lamb patty was tender and packed with flavor—layered with feta, lettuce, tomato, pickled onion, herb aioli, all on a perfectly toasted brioche bun. My wife ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, a true classic elevated with a bold, modern twist—Swiss cheese, crisp apples, and caramelized onions creating the perfect harmony of sweet and savory. Special shoutout to the chef: I asked for honey mustard, which they didn’t normally offer. Instead of turning the request away, the chef created his own version on the spot. Creamy, tangy, and crafted with care—it paired perfectly with my meal and showed the level of service this place stands for. We loved everything and will definitely be back

Ayumi Artistry Studio 5 out of 5 stars★★★★★We stopped by City Market Bistro while walking around Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach on a cold and windy day, and it was the perfect place to warm up. I had the French onion soup and it was delicious, exactly what I needed that day. I’ve also been here for dinner before and had a great experience, so I’m already planning to come back again. It’s a cozy spot in a great location if you’re exploring Canal Street and looking for a place to relax and enjoy a good meal.
