Blackfriars Bistro And Catering - London, Ontario

Blackfriars catered my daughter's wedding recently and I can highly recommend them. The menu they planned, executed and served was delicious and beautifully presented and served. The staff was kind, responsive and professional. They pivoted quickly and seamlessly when the rain moved in on our outdoor plans. Thank you for ... your contribution to a wonderful evening.

Thank you Brian and Manuela for a fantastic dinning experience this evening. From the chicken pate appetizer and rainbow trout main to the lovely delicate pavlova everything I and my friends had was delicious. My one friend is still talking about the cheese soup he had and this is ... one of the very few places we have dined that actually cooked his beef the way he likes it. The staff was beyond helpful and extremely pleasant, I definitely appreciate all they did to make this dinning experience so memorable. We have enjoyed the catering side of Blackfriars before, this was our first experience at the restaurant and we will definitely be back. Read more

Delicious food, generous portions, lovely service, quiet atmosphere. A superb dining experience in a local neighbourhood environment. The chef really has it going on and our server was excellent. Limited wine selection but what was available were.all good wines. Recommended.

We had lunch on a bright but wintery Saturday. We had made reservations but none were required, it was not busy. I had the Stilton Cheesecake with greens, tabouleh and chutney (a special of the day) while my partner had the Fettuccine with Mushrooms, Lemon, Black Tiger Shrimp, Parmigiano & ... Tarragon-Pistachio Pesto (a regular menu item). We had a couple of nice wines and enjoyed our meals. The chef/owner and server were very friendly, very helpful. The chef caught us on our way out to serve a little, hot from the oven, cherry tart as an amuse bouche. He tells us the restaurant has been in business 27years. We've been many times over the years and have always been impressed. It's well off the restaurant row area of town -- it's in a quiet older neighborhood but well worth a visit. Oh yes, they have a deli attached next door. We bought some gourmet pasta and will be back to buy a savory cheescake to impress our dinner guests. Read more

First thing. Food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We had the beef tenderloin and the salmon and the taste was exquisite. The decor resembles an outdoor cafe but indoors, with white garden-style mosaic tables and chairs. The art work is contemporary and certainly a focal point. Service is ... slow. We struggled to get out in under two hours and tables are very close together. If you love eavesdropping, this is the spot for you. Though slow, staff is friendly and overall it was a nice experience. Lunch for two with a glass of wine each with tip was $80+ Read more
