Downtown Bistro

One of my favorite places to eat in Kennett. They have the best mixed drinks, if you haven’t tried the Gypsie Juice, you definitely should! All the food is great, that being said, you may have to wait a while for your order when they are busy. But, it is always worth the wait. The portion sizes are huge so I always need a to go box. I don’t think I’ve ever ordered anything that I didn’t like.

Kennett, Missouri’s Downtown Bistro is quite a surreal experience in dining excellence. Here, you’ve stepped into another world. And it’s one of the kind of things you would wish to see in every restaurant.I’ve been in town a couple of weeks, found out about Downtown Bistro 3 or 4 days in, and every visit (and there have been many) has been absolutely amazing.It all starts with correct leadership; it always does, right? Here, the owner operator is from Greece & he’s an extraordinary mentor to all his staff, a great & imaginative chef, apparently a visionary (as evidenced by his careful & innovative design of the restaurant; including interesting photos of the township’s history) and of course, the menu of Downtown Bistro includes delicious dishes for every taste. Everything is delicious— as well as beautifully presented.In short, I love this place. And the people who work here are just entirely competent, thoughtful, accommodating and good people.You’d think that each employee was from the same wonderful family…but instead, these thoughtful employees are simply fantastic people who’ve been kindly trained to work in a harmonious work environment. Very amazing experience to see. And dine in.And if all the aforementioned weren’t enough, the owner himself is a true international war hero. His name is Christos Panagiotidis. This man is singularly responsible for decisively taking charge on the Grecian-Turkish border and for personally saving the lives of a group of innocent young girls attempting to migrate & who were in harm’s way on the border. This man personally intervened & stopped the unnecessary use of deadly force. He saved their lives. Period.In short, this is really one of those great places.So, if you’re considering the Downtown Bistro, go ahead and head that way. The people, the food, their friendliness, thoughtfulness and ambience are all together just a marvelous experience.Tim GrimesKnoxille, TN

Absolutely wonderful! What a delightful place to eat! It was so neat and clean and the pictures of Kennet on the walls was really cool. The food was excellent and the service was great!This place is off the charts good! I cannot begin to say just how good it is!

I hate that I didn't get the waitresses name, but she was awesome. She was very attentive and said thank you all of the time. The food was even better! I had the seafood platter and the steak and shrimp pasta to go.

We were in town late after a game at the middle school and looking for a place to get a good dinner that wasn’t fast food. A lady at the game recommended Downtown Bistro. They close at 9pm and we walked in at 8:15. I hate going in that close to closing and expecting a lot, but our server assured us we were fine. Casey took care of us and made some recommendations. It took about 15 or so minutes for us to get our food, not long at all. Every thing came out perfect and was great. If you live in Kennett and haven’t tried them, you should. If you’re visiting, stop in and enjoy.

Took a wrong turn and ended up at Downtown Bistro. It was a great dining g experience. I will definitely go again. Our waitress was great and so kind. Her name was Patience.

Highly recommend this place. The food was amazing and service was excellent! Love all the old pictures of Kennett displayed throughout the bistro.

The food was great, the servers were the best I've ever had and it was a small town place with an up town menu. Made our anniversary dinner amazing.
