Pretty sure the soup and sandwich saved my life. Super high quality ingredients, everything made in house, including the beef brisket in the sandwich. The coffee is well above average too! (And has non-dairy options!)

We stopped in Duncan for lunch on our way to the Mill Bay Ferry and enjoyed delicious sandwiches at the Urban Forest Bistro. The homemade focaccia bread was perfect with the brisket and blue cheese for my partner, while I had a mushroom and veggie sandwich that was full of flavour and complemented with a great sauce and paired with a refreshing mint and nettle tea. We highly recommend this Bistro.

Chose to eat lunch here as reviews were glowing. Food was tasty enough but the value for the prices was just not there. Portions are very small and I left more hungry than when we arrived. I'm not a large person and it's doesn't take much to satisfy my hunger, but this was silly. They were busy and wouldn't have minded the wait if we felt it was worth it. Wouldn't make this our first choice again.
