Dined there last night all three meals were exceptional. Calamari was not your usual rings but pads lightly breaded.. a must to order. Ambiance was warm and friendly so I highly recommend you try this hidden gem.

Incredible quality hidden gem. I say hidden gem because you really aren't putting yourself out there as you should. Also, your entire entrance section has menu boards and a take-out design that imply you're a takeout place with a limited menu and I would've never known about the rest of your menu the rest of the day in your well decorated dining-in section if I hadn't looked at your website.
Might seem insignificant to you but your dine-in area is always empty and you deserve to be bustling with people. I only say this because I want you to be around a long time. There's a large number of restaurants in the "4 corners" you're located in who have far more dine-in eaters than you but serve food not nearly as good as yours

Been coming here for years. I find their takeout dinners very convenient for a weeknight, and really delicious. The menu changes every week and we've never been disappointed. The staff are very kind as well, making suggestions or helping you out when your favourites are sold out.
I recommend the shepard's pie and the pot pies. They're amazing! A great way to have a home cooked meal as takeout!

The place is a lovely little restaurant. My husband and I ordered the special "steak" not too sure if it was the cut of meat, but both of us didn't enjoy it. Maybe we will have to try something different if we return.

We had a truly lovely dinner at this warm and welcoming bistro.
My ginger and lime refresher was very bright, fresh and fun, and served as a perfect accompaniment to the complimentary warm and soft Focaccia bread and its creamy beet hummus spread. The mixed greens salad seasonally festive with roasted apples, butternut squash and candied pecans. The main was absolutely exquisite: a perfectly crisp-seared and juicy Cornish hen plated on a bright puree of seasonal veggies and caramelised red onions, topped with roasted apples and a few sprouted greens, all pulled together with a perfect cider jus. It was a luscious feast for the eyes and and the palate! And yes, we had room for some warm and spiced sticky toffee pudding and a hearty cup of rich aromatic coffee. We certainly recommend Chef Simon's bistro for its excellent dinner offerings and gracious service!

The lunch menu for the day had soup, grilled cheese or fettuccini. All the ingredients were from local farmers. The noodles were done by hand. The pricing was great as the taste was amazing! They also serve alcohol and mocktails. Will come back for sure! I also bought tarts which the kids loved!

Ok for quick Saturdsy lunch. Ambience
is really nice. They, probably, know their customers well. Thus no dinner on Saturday and closed on Sundays. Wish they will have longer opening hours

Love this place. It takes something special for me to give 5⭐ reviews and Bistro 238 deserves it.
Fabulous meals, quality not quantity ?.
Service was "spot on".
Ambiance was so comfortable, charming.
I had the beef burger and roasted butternut squash soup. So delicious and satisfying.
My sweetheart had the homemade hand-cut pasta, done ✔ ?
Thanks Chef Simon and your team!!!
