4 Best Bistros near Alton

“Four of us dined there on Saturday October 27th. The atmosphere, the service, the prices and the food were all perfect. This place is a gem and we will return again and again.“

“My husband and I moved close to Orangeville from Toronto a little over a year ago. We had tried a few restaurants, and then we found The Bluebird Cafe and Grill. I remember the very first time we ate there, not only was the food unbelievably amazing- we were also told, "Welcome to the family." And they meant it. We've been going there twice a month ever since. The owners come by and check in with their guests, and we love all the staff (especially Sam xo). The meals are exceptional, and also affordable - which is a rare and lovely combo. So grateful we found The Bluebird.“

“My husband and I went to dinner for our anniversary, the butternut squash soup was to die for!!! The wine was also lovely, and the venison was amazing!! would definitely go back again!“

“Just want to share the most beautiful & gracious experience we had at the BVR last night! (02/12/2025) We had booked a party of 12 for my mums birthday at 6pm. But the storm hit. My mums best friend called to confirm our reservation & we were good to go. Show up to BVR & they have a sign saying due to the weather they will be closing at 6.. same time as our reso. While we totally understand everyone’s safety is important we at first were worried our reservation had been cancelled without our knowledge. That couldn’t have been farther from the truth. The restaurant, waitresses & chefs stayed open just for us. To serve us on my mums birthday celebration. We insisted a few times for them to close, but they said no we want you to have a great birthday. To them it might have been a small act, but to us it was huge. We are so so appreciative of this act of kindness. Our meals were top notch, the server was amazing & over all it was an amazing experience. Thank you all so much for staying open for us and for an awesome evening. 💖“
