Brought my mom to Stratford for the first time for a show. I took her to Bijou to be fancy... and…read moreBijou did not disappoint! Mom got adventurous and had the halibut which she enjoyed every bite with her eyes closed to enhance the flavours she described as phenomenal. I had, the only vegetarian (not vegan...as there is no vegan option on the menu) option, the Ukrainian dumplings... all I can say is WOW!!! The flavours from first bite to final notes were fresh, creamy and delicious!!! The prices were a little steep, and a little taken aback to have to pay for bread and butter, but even their home made focaccia was moist and crispy at the same time and the perfect tool to ensure all the sauce was where it belonged from our plates to our tummies! Our dinner was paired with a bottle of their cabsauv without any regrets. Make the reservation... your taste buds will thank you!!!

Staff is very friendly and helpful. I went for lunch, but there are djs the evening. Loads of vegan options. I ordered a Caesar salad and chick'n burrito (which was grilled). Both good. My standout was the cocktail I ordered: abracadabra. Rum, matcha, lime juice... refreshing, well balanced. I ordered two! I'll be back for sure.

We wanted to try different options so we ordered "3 Egg Omelette with mushrooms, Spinach and Tomatoes", "Swiss Steak Bruschetta Benny", "Greek Skillet", "Blueberry Pancake with Fruits" and "3 Eggs with Triple A Striploin Steak". Everything was fresh tasted amazing. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and a great vibe.

A date night treat for sure (don't come hungry or your wallet will cry, but you will still have no regrets). Service was great. Our waiter Luke was very friendly and gave us several local recommendations since we are from out of town. Scallops: They taste like pizza! Fancy pizza :) You get three scallops and they are perfectly cooked. Smoky with mild heat, and mildly sweet. Biltong Pizza: Savory biltong, sweet/tangy/savory balsamic, and cheese. Simple and INCREDIBLE. We had I think three of their pizzas at an event and this one was definitely the best. You can definitely fold these pizzas as they are a little floppy, but not too greasy. Plant (with Boerewors): The ultimate combination of several flavors from different countries. It teetered on the brink of too much, but somehow managed to balance with utmost grace. I've never actually had jollof rice before, but it met my expectations for being a tomato-y and spicy rice (it felt a little undercooked to me, but that might just be the correct texture). The sweeter savory curry and helped curb the spicyness of the rice (only slightly). There was A LOT happening with this dish and I can't accurately describe the flavors, but it was good and you must try it. This dish doesn't need boerewors, but we wanted to try it. It was okay! A drier/crumbly and herby savory sausage (I'm personally more a fan of a sweeter and dense sausauge like kielbasa). Duck: We love duck because it's slightly gamey, very rich, and silky soft when cooked right. This dish succeeded yet again in combining just the right amount of sweet and savory, which always pairs well with duck and brussel sprout dishes. Malva Pudding: Very delicious but I would say get one for yourself instead of sharing it :) Wish there were more almonds and jam ratio for the cake, but it was all very nice and sweet (just above not too sweet). The almonds added an extra crunchy and sweet (toffee-like) texture. The jam added a slightly tangy and sweet flavor. Though I have to say, I love a decadently sweet dessert and while I would get this again, the toffee pudding at Scran & Dram in New Hamburg wins in the battle of all desserts ever for me :)
