Doris' Bistro-Cafe

I was greeting warmly at breakfast where I enjoyed my read and macadamia nut cookie by the window. I returned with my mother later and had lunch. They remembered I had come earlier and welcomed me again. Food was so good and homemade, and filling. Too bad it’s hidden inside the building. This place is a real gem.

Great experience having veggie omelette.

Very basic ambience, but the food...! This place is as affordable as a truck stop, yet the food is as good as you would get in a high-end restaurante. Your meal will likely cost about $20 per person, including your drink. So, it seems they have to discount their prices, and call themselves a bistro, solely because of the unfortunate location.

This bistro is often frequented by local contractors, who pay the hospital's nasty parking fee just to get access to the excellent food. The contractors seem far more able to eat all they get, versus the many old people who are mostly killing time while visiting doctors.

The service is fast, friendly and always happy, as if the staff have a secret source of sunshine. Basically these guys are a bit over-qualified to be in this location, so if you run a business nearby, and you are looking for 3 or 4-star event-catering... Heck, maybe just head-hunt the entire team (3-ladies), and start your own danged restaurante.

The cooking-style is Caribbean, but never hot-spicy. There are plenty of Trinidadian cake slices, Costa Rican layer cakes, and a chopped-chicken flavouring that is almost as good as the world's best (Chicken Rita's in Barbados). There are a range of teas and coffees, not as much as Starbucks of course, but of equivalent quality -- which is another surprise. Their speciality is a range of all-day breakfasts (3-pancakes, bacon, sausage, etc), but this much food may require you to ask for a doggybag container. The pancakes last a day in the fridge, but after that, you are definately on your own.

I just wish this place was not located in the back-lobby of a butt-ugly, worn-out medical building. I'd also like this bistro to have a drive-thru, perhaps in the (secretly free) staff parking/dumpster lot behind the building, upon which the bistro's giant windows overlook. Sorry, I am better at critique than praise, but despite their ugly location, the great food is definately worth the parking fee.

That was my first time here. I tried Hot Lunch Special for $16.25. You can choose one meat + two sides. The rosted chicken Greek style was so flavorful and tasty, the skin potato stuffed with a creamy mushed potato covered with cheese was delicious, and the Greek salad was also good. I had chocolate cake for dessert, very well done as well. I met the cooker (I believe she is the owner) and she was very friendly and attentive. I gave her my compliments for such delicious food. I really recommend the place.

The tres leches is a must try and the staff is so polite and hospitable!

Everytime I come to the Credit Valley professional building for a bloodwork appointment, I'm immediately greeted with delicious aromas that waft from this Bistro. And every single time without fail the taste of the food lives up to it! Big portions, a variety of meal options, served fresh, well seasoned & delicious taste, and kind impeccable service!

I'm so incredibly jealous of the people who work in this building, if I worked here I would never bring lunch from home again!!! YOU DID YOUR BIG ONE DORIS! 💕💕

The food is homemade and SO delicious; breakfast or lunch! The service is delightful! The restaurant is always clean and so lovely with all the beautiful plants. LOVE IT ❤️

Such a cosy cafe.
While you wait for your doctors appointment or are visiting a loved one at the hospital this cafe is your go to place. Better options available than Tim Hortons.
Now that it’s chilly outside I would recommend getting the hot chocolate with two shots of espresso.
The owners/managers greet you with such warmth and offer recommendations based on your diet.

Stopped in here after an all day fast medical test. Food was amazing. What a great find! Wish I lived closer would definitely come back. 💕

We had a wonderful time when we stepped in for breakfast at Doris' Bistro Cafe over the weekend. Doris was lovely and helpful, and the food was fresh, beautifully prepared, and tasted homemade and comforting. Our kids loved it too!
We'll definitely be visiting again. :) Thank you Doris!
