We were unfamiliar with the city and the restaurant offerings so the pick was basically restaurant roulette. We won big with this one. Everything from the ambiance to the meal itself was top shelf and well worth the cost. Don't waste time thinking about it, book your reservation now.
It was my birthday...the big 50. As soon as we walked in we were greeted promptly and taken to our table. I was first taken by the ambience. Tastfully decorated...Paris inspired music....perfect lighting. The waiter was very friendly. The food was delicious...from the appetizer to the dessert. I enjoyed the wine. When I told the waiter it was my birthday he brought the dessert with a candle...I thought this was very thoughtful and a nice touch. I would highly recommend this restaurant....just lovely.
Their weekend brunch menu was awesome. The big breakfast was generous and yummy. Pancakes were buttery and fluffy as cotton. Avocado on SD was alright, albeit a tad smaller compared to the rest. Good vibes and friendly service.
First day in Halifax, so we had to go with local recommendation and tried the very popular French bistro. As you walk in, it has a great atmosphere, and the staff are very welcoming. Menu has excellent choices, and we picked some classics. The Seafood Risotto was delicious and so was my creamy mushroom soup. My partner had French Onion soup and Beef Bourguignon, which he approved. And the desserts are yummy, the classic Creme Brulee and the Cheesecake. The waiter who served us was very helpful, attentive, and friendly along with the rest of the staff who were very courteous. A wonderful French bistro to visit and enjoy if you are in Halifax.
They welcome us with great enthusiasm. The ambiance of this place is so appealing. We tried salmon and seafood crepe. Both dishes were delicious and presentation of food was great. Customer service was so attentive and helpful in choosing dishes. I would highly recommend it.
Lovely place tucked away adjacent to Park Victoria apartments. I’ve been here several times when in Halifax & am never disappointed. Highly recommend the seafood risotto with a nice rose. Shiona was wonderful :)
A reliable spot for a quick meal, with a relaxed atmosphere and great vibes. The service here is always excellent! The food is consistent in quality and value, though I wouldn’t describe the menu as exciting or creative. Le Bistro is a neighbourhood favourite for brunch, serving all the classics (I recommend the savoury crêpes,) and a complimentary mimosa!
We went to the Bistro because it was close to the QEII and reputed to be celiac-safe.
The restaurant was eclectic, cozy, and welcoming. Everyone who dealt with us was very aware of celiac, knew exactly what could be made gluten-free and reassured me that the phenomenal looking (and tasting) soup really was gluten-free. They were also clear that deep-fried options were cross-contaminated.
We had the French onion soup (gf), almond salad (gf), and a croque monsieur (not gf, but could be made gf), all were excellent.
Both of our desserts - chocolate pot au creme and creme brulee - were gluten-free and made in house. They were excellent.
The washrooms - of which there are two - were clean, spacious and gender neutral.
Recommended for both celiacs and gluten eaters. The environment is exactly what you want for a cozy, comfortable meal and conversation, and the food tastes like someone cared when they made it.
Our server Colin was friendly and suggested a nice pairing of wine- I’m not usually a fan of red wine but this one was great and complimented our meals well. Our drinks, appetizers and mains were served promptly and were delicious. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and has a warm atmosphere. Our first time here and we will definitely be back in the future!
We went to the restaurant today with a table of three for brunch. Delicious food, attentive service, we didn't have to wait long for the food. I really like the space and the service here. We will be back again.
Very nice classy restaurant. Service was exceptional. The Filet Mignon served exactly as requested. The crème brulée had an exquisite crust. All our guests enjoyed their meals as well. Not rushed at all, that allowed us to relax and enjoy our company.
Really nice French Bistro inspired restaurant. The service is perfect. The food is nice. Many gluten free options! The prices are really fair! Totally worth it!
