Bleu Provence

Yes, you should go here. I’ve only been twice (limited budget) but I had fabulous food and service both times. They do have an early dining special price menu as well as a great dinner menu.

One of the best restaurant in Naples and definitely the most delicious «cuisine française» in Naples area.
Don’t miss the opportunity to try this excellent restaurant is you are looking for an experience.
High attention to details, gorgeous dishes presentation and attentive service are absolutely guarantee.
I’ve been here serveral times and i never been disappointed.
From the Seared Foie Gras to the Tuna Tartare; from Organic Cherry Tomato to the amazing escargot. from the famous Loup de Mer to the Wagyu Steak Tartare moving trough the Wagyu Short Ribs and duck confit everything tastes absolutely great!
A special extra mention must go to the superb wine seller right next (and part of) to this outstanding place.
Top notch!

I heard this was a high end restaurant. It was somewhat disappointing. Food was good but not great, wait times were very long. (We were a party of 6).

I had a wonderful dinner experience here last week. We were seated on their outdoor, covered patio in the back. The service was excellent-​very friendly and attentive. Some of the dinner highlights include the foie gras and tuna tartare, both were exquisite. The wine list is extensive and an excellent pairing to the food!

Had our 3^rd dinner here tonight and I would say it was just ok and if not for my daughters enjoyment of her dinner I would have given it 2 stars. The English pea gazpacho which I had last year in November was too thick. The rose recommended by our sommelier as crisp and minerally had a great start but a disappointing finish and my steak although medium rare plus was tough on the outside with little flavor as was the asparagus that accompanied it. The 2012 Gigondas I ordered with our main courses was relatively flat and uninspiring. It’s a great restaurant and I know they can do better but for $ 500 for dinner I was not impressed. I will say Olivia our server was great and very accommodating.

Marvelous restaurant. Evon was an attentive, knowledgeable sever. Outstanding wine list! One of the most comprehensive wine lists I have had the opportunity to enjoy. Wine pricing very fair. Discussion w/​Evon on the wine chosen & how the profile changed as dinner progressed was enjoyable. Food very good & paired well w/​the wine. A nice quaint French Bistro w/​a marvelous wine store to bring home an extra bottle for future consumption.

After several years of dining in Naples, I can say that the Bleu Provence is the best place to dine in this area. The main point is that the food is wonderful. The chef here is a master and all at our table were enthusiastic and fill of compliments. Details were carefully done and flavors were beautifully developed. The wait staff did their job with grace and care. The only down side was that the noise level was rather severe.

I went there for lunch with a group of women from my HOA. I thought the food was quite good. I had the steak frites. The steak was tasty and well-​cooked and the frites were delicious – properly seasoned with salt and parmesan cheese. I would have liked a little more of the excellent Béarnaise sauce. The other women at my table ordered quiches, which they said were very good, except for one who said hers was too cheesy and not eggy enough, which I attribute to personal taste.
My primary complaint, and the reason I gave it only 3 stars, was the service. Some of the women found our server less than friendly. We were a group of about 24. The service was so spotty that several tables had finished their food before others were even served. One woman sent back her dish, but, as she was at another table, I don’t know why. I had asked for iced tea, but I never got it until I asked again when I was halfway through my meal. The server asked me if I still wanted it. When I said yes, she brought me a bottle of iced tea rather than a glass of freshly brewed tea. I was shocked! I found it hard to believe that they did not brew their own iced tea. After I tasted it and did not like it, she did not put it on my bill. When she served my steak frites, she asked if I wanted ketchup for my fries. I said I did, but she never brought it to me. The people I rode with were finished and ready to leave, but our table had not yet received our checks yet. I had to hunt her down to get my check. I undertipped by a dollar or two because I did not have exact change and did not want to keep the rest of the women in my car waiting while she broke a twenty! Because of the slow service, I did not consider ordering dessert either.
I was shocked to see there was only one bathroom for both sexes. As it turned out, there were multi-​stall women’s and men’s rooms in another part of the restaurant that we didn’t know about.
I would return for the food if not for the poor service we received. Perhaps our server needs more training. But there should definitely be freshly brewed iced tea. That goes without saying! There is not enough parking nearby.

Had a great evening — very nice atmosphere, crisp & professional service and really good food.
My wife and I enjoyed the evening special (Mahi Mahi in a lobster curry sauce) followed by the crêpe suzette for desert. Others in our party enjoyed the Argentinian Shrimp, the Mahi Mahi and steak entrees. Our dining party has been to 4 restaurants for dinner this past week and we all picked Bleu Provence as our favorite.

A very attractive restaurants edge of downtown Naples. Bleu Provence is a thoughtfully placed French establishment with a warm environment and great service. Pulling up you are treated by a valet person quickly servicing you with a ticket and opened doors. Walking in the ambiance screams sea food with the deep blue colored walls and white trimming, sort of like a Greek or Mediterranean restaurant would. The hostess station placed right on entrance greet you with a smile and walk you to your table. The menus wasn’t impressive with a mixture of ethnic dishes, some French some not.
Service started with a drink order and a warm baguette accompanied by olive spread and sweet soft butter. Great olive spread might in add, would have liked the bread slightly more firm crusted as it tasted slightly undercooked in texture.
I opted to order the escargot and the lue de mer (not sure if that’s right) Mediterranean Sea bass. The escargot was good but nothing impressive, lacked a certain garlicky-​ness to it, I feel. The fish entrée was plated nicely, two skin on filets on top of asparagus and mashed potatoes. The fish was tender and tasty as was the rest of the dish. The sauce on the plate was creamy and slightly on the heavy side. Service was always around and checking in.
I would absolutely recommend the restaurant and will consider trying the rest of the menu. Prices are reasonable at $ 10 – 15 an app, 25-​$ 40 an entrée, most in the $ 30 range. I’m not sure if the outside seating is by the water, but if it is, big brownie points.
Keep it up le Bleu!

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Sea bass, snapper and filet were outstanding.

Amazing French food and our waiter was from France… With the most dreamy accent! Very impressive wine list but everything was on the pricey side. When the weather is good, please sit outside. It’s very private and jungle like out back.

Blue Provence is a hidden gem in Naples! How had I not heard of this place?! A friend recommended this restaurant to me when I was looking for a place to eat in downtown Naples, but slightly away from the craziness of 5^th Ave. Bleu Provence sure did deliver! Our waiter was outstanding and the food was amazing! The smoked salmon salad was to die for! The argentian shrimp dish had the most savory butter sauce, such a delight! The branzino was amazing! The waiter even offered to have the kitchen take the skin off for me! I accepted, but I think next time I will have them leave it on since its part of the branzino experience! We didn’t have dessert but we should have since its a French restaurant and French desserts are always the best! The only dish I would pass on for next time would be the mussels. They were cooked perfectly but the dish was too smokey for me. It didn’t feel balanced and almost made the dish bitter. Overall, the dinner was amazing! Looking forward to next time!

The ambiance is great, the drinks stiff and very good appetizers and dessert. The main dishes however were just okay. My husband had the rack of lamb and I had the short ribs. Both lacked anything special as far as flavor. Mine tasted like homemade pot roast. Which at $ 39.99 was a big disappointment. I was so disheartened that I only ate half as I couldn’t bear to waste the calories. If it weren’t for the main dishes I would have given 4 stars.

Hands down my favorite French cuisine dining experience in SWFL! I went on a double date here with my best friend who is French. Authentic, delicious, great service! Charming, upscale atmosphere. It was 4 of us, we all ordered 1 app and 1 entrée to share and taste as many items as we could. My favorite was the Escargot! After dinner, go have a glass of wine at the wine store attached to Bleu. Check out the floor — it’s corked so that if you drop a bottle it won’t break. Very cool! It’s also next to the Naples City Dock which I love strolling around on and taking in the views after a good meal.

Ok, so we originally wanted to go to the French place on 5^th avenue, la Bezenne but they were having an evert so the owner actually suggested this place.
The good: really beautiful restaurant, and spacious. Huge wine list. They had a 50% off bottle discount for certain wines which worked out well for us. I came with my bf and his parents in town from Spain who only speak Spanish. The waiter spoke some Spanish which was nice. The tuna tar tar appetizer was delicious, and my duck was very unique in flavor. It came ontop of a mashed potatoes with some sort of reduction that was very tasty like nothing I’ve had. They are not stingy on the bread, not anything g out of this world but kept the appetite in check. The fries, omg yumm! They had the option to do truffle fries and that was delicious too. The mom had the muscles and I tried them and they were so so good!
The bad: very pricey food. As I mentioned, the tuna tartare was very tasty, but so small it was over in like 4 tiny bites (split 4). My duck was unique in flavor a very tasty, however a bit of fat so actual amount of duck was limited, but still a good portion. The biggest disappointment was the meat tartare that my bf and his father ordered. It was basically seasoned uncooked meatloaf, very compact and the egg ontop was totally overcooked, not any yolk at all. It had a good flavor but was expecting something better I think.
Overall great atmosphere, really cute, good food but I think it was overpriced for what you got. Would stay away from the meat tartare as I personally wasn’t a fan of it.

A great dinner gem in Naples. An amazing wine selection with a full wine tasting room attached to the restaurant. The dining options are all great tasting French fare, yet do not ‘feel’ pretentious at all.
If you find yourself in the Naples, FL area you shouldn’t miss this little eatery if you have a night to get out on the town and have an amazing meal.

Good food and great customer service! Desserts… Apple tart… amazing we also meet the owner and told us that the restaurant never closes… 7days a week all year around.
If you haven’t try French food this is the place highly recommend
Good luck

Love this place — it is absolutely wonderful — great atmosphere — as if you were sitting in a village in Provence — dash of elegance, flair, a wonderful wine list and the best loup de mer this side of the Atlantic. Family owned I believe — wife is the chef — husband runs the restaurant — son is there is as well.
Knowledgable staff. The hostess greeted us by name when we first walked in the door — very very smart. Had a wonderful waiter who was super pleasant and smiled all of the time.
My wife and I consider this our go to place in Naples. Sit in the charming garden area in back or the wonderful interior — WOW! 5* class all of the way — and NO TELEVISIONS in a restaurant — finally —

I lived in Naples for over 6 years and had a terrible first experience at this restaurant.
Gave it another try last week and it was AMAZING! After coming back from France it was a good edging to the real cuisine. Bread was good. We had escargot and the special. Our waitress was really great. Actually did not come up to me to ask how things were going when my mouth was full… Thank you! Plus — French wine list in Half bottles — oh baby. That really impressed me. Seating inside is like a Hamptons style living room with comfy woven chairs and striped cushions. Most of the patrons kind of fit that chinos and boat shoe theme too… It’s quiet, good place to have a cozy conversation over dinner. I recommend this place!
