Great atmosphere! Staff was friendly, the food was perfect and the place was impeccable. Cozy vibe- but doesn't feel crowed. Will definitely visit again!

I had the pleasure of attending the West Plains Bistro for lunch on Friday of last week. I used to frequent this establishment quite often, always a favourite place to go on my birthday. In recent years I have neglected the bistro as I no longer conform to an animal based diet. I got the call on Thursday evening, when my dad invited me to have lunch with his two friends who were visiting from Tillsonburg. I did a quick online search of the menu and was delighted to see they offered a few exquisite vegan options. On Friday morning a went to the gym to work up my appetite, my dad picked me up on the way to the restaurant. Upon entering I was reminded of the ambiance that I favoured all those years ago. We were seated in the booth at the window and I began to drool the moment the menu was in my hands. After deliberating with our server, Taylor, both my dad and I went with the Tuscan vegetable soup. I ultimately, paired it with the harvest squash as my entree. The food was absolutely exceptional. It exceeded all expectations in presentation and in flavour. It was the perfect autumn meal, that welcomed the transition of the seasons, as the days are getting shorter and the temperature drops. I was exasperated by the squash, having the entire dish served inside the shell. Overall, the dining experience was fabulous. We had a nice time catching up and reminiscing on old memories. Our server Taylor was excellent. I encourage West Plains Bistro to explore adding more vegan dishes to the menu. I will definitely be coming back.
