Materials

304 Stainless Steel
The spoons and forks are made from 304 stainless steel, a food-grade alloy prized for its corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of care. It holds its polish well, resists rust, and stands up to daily use without fuss.

420 Stainless Steel
The knife is crafted from 420 stainless steel, chosen specifically for its higher hardness and edge retention. This steel takes a sharper edge and keeps it longer, making it better suited for cutting.

BPA-Free Acrylic
The handles of this set are made from high quality acrylic that is free of bisphenol A (BPA), making it entirely safe for food use.

Walnut-Finished Solid Wood
The wood-handled version of this set features solid walnut-finished wood, selected for its warmth, durability, and natural character. Each handle is shaped from solid wood (not veneer), then finished to highlight the grain and provide a smooth, comfortable grip. Subtle variation in tone and pattern is expected and part of what makes each piece feel considered and unique.

Design

The Perfect Form
Inspired by classic French bistro flatware, the design is timeless but unfussy—clean lines, visible rivets, and proportions that feel right in the hand. The silhouette nods to mid-century European table settings, balanced to feel substantial without being heavy, refined without feeling precious. It’s familiar, but intentional.

The Perfect Function
This set is designed to work hard, day after day. Spoons and forks are crafted from durable, food-grade stainless steel that resists corrosion and holds its polish with minimal care. The knife is made from a harder stainless steel chosen specifically for edge retention, so it cuts cleanly through everything from roasted vegetables to steak—eliminates the need for investing in a separate set of steak knives. With remarkable sharpness and cutting efficiency, the knife stands out as the set's true value.

Just What You Need
Each set includes four complete place settings—dinner fork, dinner spoon, dinner knife, teaspoon, and dessert fork—streamlined for everyday use. No extra pieces, no confusing near-duplicates. Available with either BPA-free acrylic handles or solid walnut-finished wood, the set lets you choose between a classic bistro look or a warmer, more tactile feel—without changing the core design.

Questions About The French Bistro Flatware

How long until I receive my order?

The French Bistro Flatware arrives approximately 4-8 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The French Bistro Flatware can be returned after receiving the order only if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

How can I track my order?

The French Bistro Flatware ships within 1-2 Weeks of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the French Bistro Flatware ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
