Came here for brunch and I'm very glad we got here early because the place filled up so fast around 11. Bistro Mirepoix is such a cute cozy brunch bistro with so much charm. It feels welcoming right away and has that kind of intimate neighborhood vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. I got the pork belly and brie benny and really loved it. The pork belly was rich without being heavy and the brie added that creamy touch without being too much. The whole dish was super flavorful without tipping into greasy. It looked like a lot at first, but it was so well balanced that I ended up finishing the whole plate and even surprised myself a little. Also, shoutout to the service because everyone was so friendly and quick. Definitely one of those spots that is worth showing up early for. read more

Atmosphere, menu, service is fabulous! On a trip back to Toronto we took a detour and found this gem of restaurant. The food is fabulous! The parking is a challenge but don't let that stop you... read more

I remember Maddy from The Bleu Turtle days and have enjoyed visiting Bistro Mirepoix when we've had the chance. On our most recent visit, we walked in before the waitress arrived and the initial greeting from Eryn felt a little rushed--it was more of a quick point to a table than a welcome. First impressions can make a difference, and perhaps that just wasn't the best moment. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting, though the metal chairs are a bit uncomfortable for a longer meal. The food, as always, is excellent and beautifully prepared, though it does come with a higher price point. Having traveled widely, I've found these to be some of the pricier breakfasts I've come across. Outside, the setting could be even more charming if the front garden bed were better maintained, as the tall weeds do take away from the overall appeal. All in all, it's a place with great food and atmosphere, and with just a few adjustments, the experience could be even better. read more

Oh wow!! Worth a detour off the QEW- we were driving home from Toronto and decided to stop for lunch shortly before they closed. Darling interior and also acts as an art gallery with a beautiful art available to purchase. We had read online their specialty was pork belly, but we also asked the chef for his recommendation. We each settled on a different pork belly dish and we were not disappointed. We will be sure to stop the next time We are passing through. Absolutely delicious! read more

This is a super cute little restaurant. I really liked the friendliness of the staff, and they were attentive without hovering. The taste of the waffle was a bit unusual for me, but still very tasty. I'd love to go back and try more! read more

The Pork Belly is to die for to be honest. They are very sweet people and everything has home made feel. The Hot sauces are on the watery side but still verrrrrry tasty. They put this honey Dijon on their pork belly and it is a game changer for the whole mix read more

Bistro Mirepoix - Pork belly Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Catharines, Ontario

Good brunch spot on the side of the road. Service was very nice, the chef came out to greet us. Inside is very homey and cozy. A bit on the pricier side but quality is good and seems to be family owned. Menu is always changing to chef preference. Be wary of rules, there is a "seating fee" of $25 per person if said person comes with a party but doesn't order a dish. There is also a max time of 1 hr per table. read more

The service here is only surpassed by the caliber of the food. In a word - amazing. We will definitely will be back. Porkbelly + Brie Benedict was an absolute hit, the Lobster + Florentine Benedict was great as well. The Cherry Cheesecake Pain Perdu was a delightfully elevated take on French Toast. The neighborhood seems a little rough, but for those who brave the parking and the other challenges a true jewel awaits to be discovered. read more

This is amazing. The food was top notch fine dining! That was not too expensive at all. I loved the notion of a rotating menu that honors local food and is good and wholesome. So first off we pulled up and the store didn't look like much. But as soon as we entered inside I felt like we had been transported to a modern farm kitchen that was quaint and bright. It was so pleasant inside. So the menu is on the wall and It stipulated that is you were seated you are ordering. Everyone has to order something and they have a "just toast" option for those that maybe don't want anything. Everyone sits, everyone orders, and everyone pays $25. Looks like drinks were at an addition charge. The summer salad was amazing. It was greens, small tomatoes, nuts, goat cheese (just enough), cooked stone fruit, warm asparagus, and a balsamic drizzle. I asked for my strawberry balsamic dressing on the side, but that's mostly because I don't normally dress my salad. It didn't need It. It was amazing. I also tried my daughters sourdough waffles, whole cannoli, sooooo good. I can't even explain. Caramel drizzle, almonds, stone fruit, a sugary treat, so delicious. And my husband said it's the best food ever too. So good!!! I wish we lived closer! read more

We came here on a rainy Sunday morning and it was quite crowded inside the restaurant. They have a large patio so I'd recommend coming on a nice day, since the indoor tables are very close together. I ordered the Classic Breakfast and substituted the sourdough bread for extra potatoes. Everything was delicious, I was so impressed by the pork belly. It had so much more meat than I expected and was bursting with flavour. My partner got the Pork Belly and Brie Benedict and was similarly impressed by it. We both savoured every bite and finished off our plates so fast because everything was excellent. There is a $25 seating fee that covers the cost of any of the entrees, I guess so someone can't take up a table just to buy a coffee. The entrees are quite a bit bigger than they look in pictures, so I thought the price was reasonable for the size and quality. We really enjoyed our meals and would definitely come back here again sometime! read more

I accidentally found this place when I was searching on Google Maps to find a top rated place for an early lunch and I was amazed by the quality of the food and service. It has a small backyard patio and cozy din-in tables. Their creative menu has less than 15 options and is rotating and written on a chalk board. But everything is tasteful and fresh. The lovely lady who took our orders helped us pick our food. We ordered "Lobster Florentine Benedict" and "Brisket Burger". Both of them were toothsome and of high quality. read more

Go big or go home with this first taste of freedom. The pork belly and brie eggs benedict ($20) beckoned, not merely because of the decadence of the dish, but it being something so intricate that I'd never make myself. Despite all this quarantine cooking, I'm not about to start smoking pork belly, whipping up hollandaise sauce, or even attempt to poach eggs. All this I'll leave to the professionals. That first bite was just heavenly. The thick slab of pork belly nicely rendered that I could even overlook it was a bit too sweet for my taste. Despite having a golden caramelized crust, it was surprisingly soft and melded into molten egg yolks so nicely. With all the creamy elements, if that slice of sourdough bread lining the plate was toasted more to add a crunchy complement, the dish would be perfect. I dove into the plate with gusto, dipping the hot roasted fingerling potatoes into egg yolk. How can I make this hour sitting limit last? Try as I might, I couldn't finish all the starches. This benny is a hearty dish that leaves you full all day. Thankfully, I had the sense to get a side of greens ($5), the balsamic tossed spring mix really helps cut the fattiness of the pork belly. Without it, the decadence may be overwhelming. Just one dish will provide enough sustenance for the day, which is perfect for a day out in wine country. Take the classic breakfast ($22) - there's a big hunk of pork belly, a sizeable sausage patty and baked beans as well. A big breakfast to soak up all the tipples of a wine-fueled day. The restaurant's proximity to Jordan station and Niagara-on-the-Lake certainly makes it an easy stopping point. read more

Nice little hole in the wall with the best brunch I've had in a while. Very relaxed atmosphere with an incredible pork belly Benedict.

Wow what a find. Staying in Niagara and decided to venture out for food. My group, which included some picky eaters, was very skeptical when we arrived due to location and parking. We all thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast/meals and everyone, even the picky ones, agree this is a must. We had the sourdough waffles and the big breakfast. I had the big breakfast and the pork belly was probably one of the best that Ive had. All the meals were outstanding and service was top notch.

It's a tiny but very cozy breakfast place. We took an omelette and a Benedict and couldn't hold back and shared dishes with each other. The servants were a little bit slow, but from the other side there were a lot of people.

Very creative and excellent food served by nice people. Large portions. Highly Recommended!

One word, perfect. Open for 8 months now, we just found this place. You would not be able to tell from the outside what a treat you're in for. Everything is fresh and home made. The breads just came out of the oven. The meats out of the smoker. The owner served the food with pleasurable smile. The food is delicate, thoughtful and diverse. The Pork belly, avocados, ratatouille or salmon, you simply cannot go wrong. In the end we we arguing about whose meal best. It says a lot when we couldn't come to a consensus. Thank you for a wonderful experience. UPDATE 29/1/2020 Never stops to be amazing. This is just such a wonderful place. Everything on the menu is amazing. read more

The classic breakfast is amazing ~$26. The THICK pork belly is cooked to perfection. Loved mixing the sour dough with the mushroom, juicy tomato, and homemade sausage. Definately hits the spot for brunch! A hidden gem in St. Catherine. Would be helpful if they can note the price on the menu P.S. I am usually too lazy to write reviews unless it is especially memorable read more

Visited here on a Saturday as a stop along a road trip on the way to Niagara-on-the-Lake and it was definitely worth the detour. The overall vibe of this place is quiet and charming, with splashes of colour and an understated coolness vibe that makes for a great brunch atmosphere. The menu changes periodically which keeps things fresh and all the items on their menu make it difficult to choose only one! I settled on a steak and egg croissant and substituted one of the sides for baked beans. The sandwich itself was delightful: the steak was a perfect medium rare and the eggs and truffle shavings worked with the soft texture of the croissant. The sides were also lovely, with a fresh green salad to add some crunch to the meal and the beans with tasty chunks of meat which added a lot of depth to the plate. Overall, a gem of a brunch joint in St. Catherines. With a changing and creative menu, you can bet that we'll be back! read more

This is a small restaurant. No other restaurants around it. At the same time, there's no parking lot for customers. One has to park across the street at a plaza. Ordered a Lobster Florentine Eggs Benedict and Pork Belly with Brie. Lobster Florentine Eggs Benedict (score: 5/5) This is a light breakfast. Every taste is well balanced. In fact, there are quite a lot of lobster meats around the eggs. The freshness of lobster has lightened up the whole dish! I could also taste the lemon flavour in the Hollandaise sauce. Very good! Pork Belly with Brie (score: 5/5) I am amazed at the cut and the taste of the Pork Belly. I have never seen that on a breakfast menu and it is served in a long rectangular shape. The meat is tender, feel like it's going to melt inside of your mouth. The chef has used some honey mustard sauce on the pork belly. It made the whole dish extraordinary. This is really a hidden gem. Need to come back again! read more

Woke up to a hipster brunch spot lol with a dash of modern rustic feel. Delish food, super friendly staff, and some decent background music. It's a bit small inside probably fits 50 at max. We used parking across the street because I'm not sure we can park on the street. Sorry, a lil bit ignorant, we're from New Jersey lol. Would I recommend this place? Most definitely. Haven't scored a 5 for a brunch place for a long time. I like the coffee here but the sugars I thought was a bit weak, I was looking for splenda. CLASSIC BREAKFAST: 10/10 PROS: My gawd, homie! Man up and get this ish, it's damn good. Not too salty, plentiful and the garnishing game in on the money. I would pay $16.50 US for it. CONS: I can't think of any. FRENCH TOAST: 9/10 PROS: Tasted awsome, sweet but not too sweet. Looks too pretty to eat. I would say it was worth $12 US. CONS: The slices could've been bigger. I've aeend bigger slices. PORK BELLY CROQUE MADAME?: 9/10 PROS: Tasted pretty good, it looked inviting af lol. That porkbelly really made it worth it, to spend $14.25 US. CONS: Can't think of any, all I know was that my daughter wanted more, just nit picking but maybe a bit more portions? read more

Omg. My sister and I stopped in on our way home. We didn't get a chance to really look at what we were getting ourselves into. The building is simply a converted house across the street from a grocery store. Inside it was cozy, inviting and it smelled like heaven. Our hostess was an angel, just so sweet and attentive. She recommended the pork belly breakfast and it was the absolute best brunch I've had in my life. All the food was prepared perfectly. The flavors were out of this world. The pork belly just melted in your mouth. It doesn't look like a huge helping of food but it was! I didn't need to eat for the rest of the day and the pleasantness of the experience left me feeling satisfied all day. They are such a great gem. They're not even that far from Niagara Falls, and they're well worth the trip. read more

After being disappointed that one of our favourite brunch places was fully booked and our other one being on vacation, we decided to find another brunch joint. Luckily I had Bistro Mirepoix saved on my Want To Go list so I figured we should try this place out. Both my S.O. and I had a good first impression on the menu. Everything sounded really good. You have clear view of the kitchen. There was one waitress and apprars to be two chefs working. After a bit of a wait we were seated. We decided on the Pork Belly Benedict w Brie and the Apple Pie French Toast. The food came out in a prompt manner. I was very impressed with the Pork Belly Benedict. I love how beautiful the presentation was and the eggs were perfectly poached. The pork belly was also seasoned and cooked to perfection, and The grainy mustard was the perfect addition to the toast and brie in between. However we were pretty disappointed with the Apple Pie French Toast. We both felt it was lacking in all kinds of elements. It definitely needed some kind of buttery flavour, and it was missing that. I also found it lacked a little bit in sweetness, and i am someone who doesnt like things too sweet. Overall it didn't give me either the comfort and joy of French Toast or Apple Pie. We both found that adding some sea salt helped to a degree, but in my humble opinion it would be better if it had a stronger egg and buttery flavour. Overall I really like this place. We would definitely come back again. We hope they can improve their sweet dishes. Food - 4/5 Service - 3/5 Atmosphere - 4/5 Would recommend to others? Yes read more

Called ahead to see if they offer a gluten free option and was informed, everything on the menu is gluten free. Excellent. Really cute interior and the server was very nice. It's pricy and we were taken aback with the price of each meal on the blackboard, and thought oh well, we shall see, as the reviews were great that we had read previous to our visit. After our meal was served, and had taken a few bites, the price was insignificant as the quality and portion made up for more than the price. The pork belly and the sides were scrumptious that came with the eggs. The coffee delicious and even though I am a big eater, I could not finish my plate. Will definitely go back for more delicious meals. read more

There is no wonder this place has a five star yelp rating. Service was perfect, attentive without bugging. Food was fresh and full of flavor. I had the sour dough waffles with fresh fruit and bacon.

I Checked out Mirepoix randomly one day, was a bit curious about this little restaurant house.. Was briefly skeptical about the price being a bit higher, those concerns were alleviated upon my first fork full of lobster benedict. I've been there 3 times now and I've gotta tell ya, it's pretty much the best breakfast I've had. Cozy atmosphere, excellent staff just adds to the experience. If you have not tried Bistro Mirepoix, stop wasting time and get down there immediately! read more

From the street it doesn't look like much, you would probably even miss it if you were not looking for it. It's located in a less then desirable part of town, but that doesn't effect the enjoyable experience I had once I opened the door. It's a sweet little bistro style restaurant, maybe enough seating for 30. The bright yellow door leads you to believe you've found a little gem in the midst of a sketchy part of town. And you have! The owner greets you with her sweet warm smile and adorable personality. Once seated she brings you coffee...but no menu....??? That's because the menu is on the walls, just take a look around. I love that there wasn't anything traditional, but everything was recognizable. From Lobster Benedict to Porkbelly bacon, it will leave your mouth begging to be feed. I had the traditional breakfast, but there was nothing traditional about it. It included their house-made sourdough toast, pork-belly bacon, pork-belly sausage, house-made beans and pork (yes there was a lot of PIG)...roasted potatoes and scrambled eggs. It was a little bit of everything and it was so tasty. I also had a beautiful glass of fresh squeezed orange and tangerine juice....so yummy! Now I wouldn't make a habit of going here for breakfast as my bill was $32, yes that was just for my breakfast and juice, but once in a while if I want to spoil myself and my taste-buds, I would definitely open that yellow door again and enjoy a beautiful meal. read more
