I took my mom to Bistro 238 today for lunch and it was so wonderful! The food was soooooo good, the prices were absolutely reasonable and our server I believe her name was Pat was also absolutely wonderful as well. I highly recommend. All of the staff were very friendly and chef Simon even comes to ask you how your meal was. It was really the type of dining experience all restaurants should model after. So cute!

My favourite brunch in the GTA (and I've been to a lot!!). Fantastic food, great coffee, generous portions, great prices. The staff are super friendly, funny and learned our names and orders because we go so often. I have also had dinner there and the food was amazing. This place is a gem - highly recommend!

Incredible food, very attentive and caring service, better than many of the high end restaurants in Toronto. The French onion soup is one of the best tasting soups I have ever tasted. A must try restaurant!

This is unusual! We have eaten here several times and the food is excellent! The table service was great. So we said let’s get a gift card for $50 for our friend since she also liked the food etc. NOOOO! “We don’t do gift cards” was the answer on the phone! “Can’t you give us a business card and sign it to say pre-paid $50, NOOOO, “ we don’t do gift cards.” I guess they would rather we spend our money somewhere else! We’ll also share this story!

Finally, a proper fry-up in Canada! After 13 years here, I’ve finally found somewhere that offers a full English breakfast including beans, mushrooms, proper sausage, bacon and even a fried slice.
The Cumberland sausage was particularly lovely and makes me continually wonder why we don’t see nice sausages like this in supermarkets.
Absolutely lovely. A thoroughly enjoyable meal, great service and great spot in Courtice.
My wife will also be happy because I won’t have to bring my own beans in a flask to restaurants anymore ;-)

We decided to try this place on a whim to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary — and we’re so glad we did. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I had the salmon, and my husband ordered the steak special. Both were cooked to perfection, with sides that were incredibly flavorful and delicious. My mimosa was expertly made with quality champagne, and the service throughout the evening was exceptional. The wait staff were attentive, checking in regularly to make sure everything was to our liking, and even the chef came out to see how we were enjoying our meal — a lovely personal touch. The restaurant itself is quaint, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The only minor downside is that the tables are quite close together, but that's understandable given the limited space. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot for a beautifully cooked meal made with fresh, local ingredients. A perfect choice for a special evening out.
