Exceptional dining experience everytime.
We always come to Brownes Bistro when we visit Canada from the UK. Take a seat with a view of the open kitchen. They always impress us with their variety of great tasting cusine, crammed with seasonal french fare and wines from crisp white to bold reds with depths of flavour.
I would highly recommend a visit if you are looking for a place that is cosy and welcoming.

Gerry and the team provide excellent service and quality food. The ambiance is so warm and friendly. It's no wonder the place is full everytime we go. We've been going there for over 30 years and it's always been amazing.
