Bistro St. Tropez is near the Schuykill on the fourth floor of a converted industrial building that is now a mall of a sort. It’s a slightly atypical location for a restaurant, which takes a small amount of getting used to. The menu of the place is French, the décor, American modern. The restaurant is spacious and the food is good – I had mussels in white-wine sauce and a sautéed pork chop.
We were a large group, so we had a pre-set menu in a room reserved for large parties at the back. This place is a nice option if you need to set up a large party; the view over the river is quite lovely at sunset. My own personal preference, if dining in a smaller group, would be a more adventurous choice among Philadelphia’s ethnic restaurants.
