About Us

City Market Bistro opened it's doors on February 17, 2021 on Canal St. in the Historic District of New Smyrna Beach, FL.  We are Chef/Owner operated by Chef Scott Krause with the help of his friendly staff.  Our mission is to keep it simple, traditional and provide our guests with scratch made meals by the Chef himself.  We don't claim to have reinvented the wheel by any means, but we do claim to put our love and energy into everything we make here!  At City Market Bistro you can treat it as an extension of your own home, we've got a cozy space, an attentive staff, and a fantastic wine selection for you to choose from.  No reservations are ever needed, we do not take them to begin with, however you can always give us a call an hour in advance to be put on the "call ahead" list.  We will scope out a table for your time of arrival and get you seated as soon as we can!  Wait times are reasonable, and if they're not, we'll let you know.
