IT'S TIME TO ACT. NOW!
COVID-19 has had an immense impact on the restaurant industry. Being in the Bay Area, Bistro Vida had in door dining basically shutdown for over a year. We have had to shift mainly to takeout and build an expensive outdoor seating area, and it has been a challenge to adjust with the loss of business an inevitability. Please contribute to this fundraiser and help support Vida's transition back to full business so that we can continue serving French food as best as possible to the community.

About
Established in 1998 under the discerning eye of energetic proprietor Ali El Safy, Bistro Vida is a neighborhood restaurant inspired by the great Parisian bistro culture and traditions of French cooking. Ali, a Cairo native, lived in Paris before settling in the Bay Area. His mission was to bring the joie de vivre, comfort, and community of the City of Lights to downtown Menlo Park. The name "Vida" the Spanish word for life, was chosen as a toast to the enjoyment of life, love, and food.
​
Our market-driven bistro menu is influenced by a variety of French and Mediterranean flavors and celebrates our local, seasonal ingredients. We offer simple, traditional French bistro classics, a carefully curated wine selection, and a full bar featuring hand-crafted signature cocktails.
​
We hope you stop in and enjoy with us next time you're in the neighborhood for a little bit of Paris much closer to home.
