Bistro 112

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A French Bistro with Deep Roots

Housed in a building that dates to 1830, Bistro 112 sits at the center of historic downtown Shepherdstown, West Virginia. It has earned a loyal following among local residents while also drawing travelers who come to the area for its history, theater, live music, biking trails, and river activities. The setting is as characterful as the town itself — eclectic art lines the walls, and the space unfolds across several distinct areas: a front bar, an upstairs dining room, and an outdoor garden complete with a communal table.

Creative French Food at an Honest Price

The kitchen turns out creative French cuisine at prices that keep the room full of regulars. The approach is rooted in the traditions of the neighborhood bistro — approachable, generous, and without pretension — while leaving room for the kind of creativity that keeps a menu interesting season after season. Weekend brunch runs every Saturday and Sunday, and the restaurant hosts special events including wine-focused evenings on the outdoor patio. The wine program has earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, a recognition that speaks to the care taken in pairing the cellar with the French-leaning menu.

A Gathering Place for the Community

Whether you're settling in for a weekday lunch, a weekend brunch in the garden, or a private dinner party, Bistro 112 functions the way a proper French bistro should — as a genuine neighborhood anchor. The communal table in the garden, the rotating special events, and the easy accommodation of larger groups all reflect a place that takes hospitality seriously without making a performance of it.
