Bijou Restaurant - Stratford, Ontario

One of the best meals of my life! Excellent service, incredible flavors, all around a wonderful experience!

This is food made with art, heart, and skill. We sampled most of the menu, and there wasn't a single mediocre dish. Standouts were the peas and parmesan, the bone marrow, the duck confit, and thr cheese dumplings. If you consider yourself even a little bit of a foodie, you MUST ... eat here. Read more

We didn’t have reservations but decided to see if they had space on a busy Friday and they happily welcomed us to seats at the bar. We don’t drink but they had a large selection of non alcoholic beers and cocktails. The bartender was amazing. He was one of the ... highlights of our night. He was funny, so nice to talk to and gave us great menu recommendations. We shared an appetizer and both got steaks. They were both cooked perfectly how we like them. It was one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time. The wait staff was amazing too, we didn’t have dirty dishes or empty drinks infront of us for very long before they were cleared and filled. We’re already planning on when to come back next. Read more

Super kind and helpful wait staff who are extremely knowledgeable about their menu. And what a menu, incredibly well crafted dishes with intentionally paired both intuitive and unintuitive pairings on plates. A stellar wine selection and great house cocktails. Honestly you can't go wrong here. Well worth the price without a doubt. We ... had the Spanish octopus over scallop sausage, the deep fried enoki mushrooms, cheese dumplings and the scallops with potatoes. We'd order it all again in a heartbeat if there weren't so many other enticing dishes on offer to try. Read more
