In the past, a bistro was just a popular local bar. During the 20C, however, tourism in France transformed it into its present form - a style icon of local life that is both charming and informal and a haven for traditional French cuisine. Here, it is almost as if Ici Bistrô has been moved lock, stock and barrel from Paris to Higienópolis, with its classic, well-prepared dishes using top-quality ingredients, such as steak tartare, duck confit and Tarte Tatin without unnecessary frills.
