Think neon lights, red vinyl chrome chairs, Elvis busts and a whole lotta turquoise. Pure nostalgia at its finest. One milkshake, two straws please! Speaking of, when I visited the milkshake of the month was cherry coke and the food special was the Bing Crosby BLT so they really do stay true to theme. I only had ice cream (Salty Caramel) and fries here, so I can't fully speak to the food but what I did have was delicious. I saw nothing but hardworking, friendly and fun-loving staff during my visit and will definitely be back to try their breakfast the next time I'm in town. Restrooms are also labeled for "Guys, Dolls & Family" so that's super cute. Give this adorable little place a try!

Gord and I had brunch this morning at Bethune's Bistro…read more We both had the Classic Breakfast ... a nice old school brekkie for $10. The home fries seemed to be made from scratch and the bacon was really crunchy.

I'm glad to see their scrambled eggs are made with real eggs and not the boxed liquid ones; I could tell from the telltale flecks of white mixed in with the yolk and denser texture. Their bacon was also tasty: crispy, not too salty, and had a nice smoky flavour. If anything, the home fries could use more time on the flat top to develop a crispier crust, but they were still decent and would pair nicely with fried eggs to create a soft hash. I was excited to see the lovely caramelization on the house pancakes ($9.95 for three) but it didn't really translate into flavour. As pancakes go, they're nice and fluffy but also store-bought tasting, especially when served with packaged table syrup. Bethune's plain house burger ($9.95) reminded me of the ones I had in high school at Johnny Andersons. The beef patty is thicker than McDonalds, but also seems to be mixed with flour as it has a softer consistency. Still, it had a nice crust, and was adorned with all the classic fixings: mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and onion. The French fries are also a step up from the home fries - crispy, hot, and made with real potatoes. The low prices may partially be attributed to Bethune's lean (but not mean) staff. Even on weekends there's usually only one person out front and presumably one chef. Yet, service was efficient, and I've always felt taken care of and welcomed. If you're in Gravenhurst, I'd recommend skipping fast food and support local at Bethune's Bistro instead. While it's more aptly described as a diner or family-style restaurant (as opposed to a bistro), there's a friendly small-town charm to the place and you won't leave broke or hungry.

They had a couple of tables in the patio, but we felt safer to just ordering take out during pandemics. Their menu got quite some varieties. I'm a big fan of egg Benedict, so I got the smoked salmon Benedict. My parents are small eaters, so I got them the egg, bacon, yogurt and cake combo. Last but not least, my husband got turkey dinner combo for lunch. Yes, he can eat that much for lunch! Everything turned out to be so yummy and flavourful. - Egg Benedict was perfect. Home fries was almost flawless. I'm generally not a big fan of home fries coz they suck mostly, either too much oil or no flavour at all. However, the home fries here met all my requirement, from the balanced flavour to the proper fire temperature control. - My parents spoke highly of the French cake with raisin. It was not too sweet, with very balanced flavour. They also enjoyed the bacon and vanilla yogurt a lot. They claimed that the yogurt was not too sour and had strong diary taste. - Turkey tasted okay. Mash potato was one of the best I've ever had. The whole family fought for it. Overall, with the few different items we've tried, it seemed that the chef here had excellent cooking fundamentals. It will definitely be my first dining choice when I revisit the area.
