About us

Welcome to Bistro on Main! 

We are a family-owned, chef-driven bistro that specializes in warm, welcoming hospitality. Being a guest in our Bistro is like being a guest in our home. Sit back, relax, and let us take care of you.

Bistro on Main is an independently owned business in the historic city of Kent, Ohio. Because of the support the community has shown the restaurant, it is only fair that Bistro gives back.

Partner/Chef Aaron L. Ruggles believes in charitable causes and contributions as a way to strengthen his business and the surrounding community simultaneously.

Bistro on Main regularly donates its time, energy and resources to worthwhile causes in Northeast Ohio, fostering a mentality of care and compassion, so the people of Kent, Stow, Akron, Hudson, Twin Lakes, Silver Lake, Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge and many other communities can continue to help each other.
