In the middle of downtown Fredericksburg, Bistro Bethem is convenient to everything, but even if it weren’t, you’d want to find your way there. The storefront has been converted into a high-ceilinged, energetic bistro with a creative menu, interesting wine list, great service, and acceptable pricing.
Lots of wood makes up the décor, with local art lining the walls in a rotating gallery. Menus change daily to keep up with seasonal ingredients. Recent offerings included appetizers ($6.50 – $20) such as Dragon Creek oysters, fresh Italian burrata cheese, wood-fired pizza and a bright-tasting mac ‘n cheese with three cheeses and a sprinkle of dill. A half-dozen entrees ranging from $16 to $26 included a cheeseburger of Wagyu beef, lamb medallions, and Delmarva scallops, along with a $12 small plate entrée of Chicken Confit with potato puree and wilted arugula. A dense, dark chocolate torte was the perfect finish.
