These students are showing what the future culinary arts is going to be like in Durham Region, it was extremely delicious. Well plated, well served, and well executed.
Vegetarian options: A lot of Vegan options on classic flavours.
Dietary restrictions: While they seat you, they will ask you about your restrictions..So i'm sure they can accommodate almost anyone from vegan to gluten free..
Parking: You do have to get a ticket, but they will validate it for you.So it is a free parking environment.

The Food menu was limited especially with a small kid. Our server was amazing and made sure we are served even with our custom order.
Chef was humble too.
A little small place for a big party. Overall, a good place to come by for dinner.
But....knowing everything served comes from their vegetable garden. Freshly grown.

Wow wow wow. This was the best meal I've had in a while. Michelin bib quality imho, and honestly better than some actual Michelin star places I've experienced for 4x the price.
We were on our way to a camping trip at Presqu'ile Provincial Park and stopped at MEC Whitby to get some items, and looked at nearby dinner options. I was worried that service here might take a long time or the food might be hit and miss, given it's a part of the culinary school, and thought about going to one of the nearby big chains instead. I am so, so glad we didn't.
Service is impeccable, food came fast, everything was perfectly cooked, and the space is really nice. Remarkable flavour and freshness in every bite. If they took the quality of food here and transplanted it to a fancy location in Toronto they could easily charge 3-4x the prices. Prices were excellent for the quality of food served. I can't wait for an excuse to come back.
We had the focaccia and hummus, portobello bao, the carrot coconut soup, the pickerel, and the chicken. All of these items were perfectly executed.
A real hidden gem run by folks who clearly love what they do. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for a lovely evening!

I enjoyed their summer menu on the patio and was blown away by every dish! You can truly taste the freshness of field to fork in every bite. I also loved the fresh produce I got, especially the heirloom carrots!

Had dinner here for the first time on September 5, my birthday. We ate outside, which was wonderful with a view of the vegetable and flower gardens. Had a glimpse of the indoor space, which looked cosy and inviting. We were greeted warmly and service was attentive if a bit absent. The waitress didn't even register or take the hint that it was my birthday. Strange. Shared some appetizers (huge) and a main plus dessert with my boyfriend including the green salad with shishito peppers. The house made focaccia was outstanding and the bruschetta was delicious and beautifully presented with fresh garden tomatoes from the plants growing nearby. The bread was so fresh that it didn't quite translate into a toast that could stand up to the toppings but still tasty.
The steak tacos were also beautifully presented and delicious. My only suggestion would be to have the steak be a bit less blue, but otherwise well-seasoned. Desserts were, carrot cake cheesecake ( an amalgamation of two classics in miniature form) and seasonal berries with Chantilly cream and meringue. Both desserts were delicious but I think the cheesecake needs a rethink (maybe a sauce?) Prices
were very reasonable and you're supporting the culinary program at Durham College.
I will definitely return.

Underwhelming. Food was good but not awesome. Charcuterie was lacking flavour. None of the pickles had any pickling, They were just wet vegetables. I think they forgot to add the vinegar to the jar or didn't let the pickles set long enough. Service was very slow but the staff were trying and were friendly. It wasn't good enough quality that we would return any time soon. Pricey for what is offered and flavour is lacking.
We received excellent answers to questions about the food and the environment, and were able to walk the grounds to view their incredible gardens. It was just a light lunch but everything was perfectly lovely. The birthday cake was such a nice touch.
Excellent meal at Bistro 67. The heirloom tomato salad was amazing, as were the croquettes! Our server was friendly and made great recommendations for the wine. We had a beautiful view of the sunset. Will definitely be back. My only complaint is that we had an issue with the parking ticket - the machine wouldn't accept it and parking ended up being $28 for 2 hours!
The food was fabulous! Original, delicious and when presented was pleasing to the eye. The service was courteous and professional and the waitress explained the concept of growing their own food groups to serve in the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant for a unique dining experience.
Great experience. Close to my work. Free parking!!!! Love the garden views and the sunshine. Food was creative in taste and look. Just enough portion size. Very happy with our experience.

My wife and I visited recently for the first time. Starting with the atmosphere. The restaurant has a simple but modern decor. The furniture offers some natural warmth. One side of the restaurant is all windows. The far end has windows all around. This provides a view of the vegetable garden and campus as well as allowing plenty of natural light in.
Service was very quick and attentive for the first half of our time there. We were seated right away. We had our water glass filled and fresh bread brought to us. During the latter part of our time the staff were focused on cleaning up for the night. Our water glasses were left empty. I was not offered another beer. We had to get someone's attention to get more water. For the price of food being charged, service should be attentive throughout the time there. I want to be clear that the staff were courteous at all times and this is more of a constructive criticism for future improvement.
Let's talk about what most people are interesting in and that's the food. As I mentioned above, they brought us fresh bread to start. It was a house made focaccia with beet hummus. The hummus had a very subtle flavour that was overpowered by the bread but it provided a smooth and cool contrast from the warm focaccia.
For our order, I decided to go with only appetizers while my wife stuck with a main course. I ordered the Portobello Bao, Chickpea Panisse, Smoked Pickerel & Potato Croquettes, and Buttermilk Brined Chicken Wings. My wife had the House Made Agnolotti.
Both the chickpea panisse and croquettes were beautifully golden brown with a good crisp. More importantly, they tasted good. The portobello bao had a lot of potentially but the portobello marinade was excessively salty. They brought the wings last with my wife's agnolotti. It was a bowl of 12 wings which was a lot more than I expected. Sadly, it was over fried to the point that there were burnt spots. It was clearly left too long in the frier and the burnt taste was in every bite.
I expect the kitchen to be more consistent with the quality of the food considering the way they priced it. I do like the concept of a school run restaurant and using their own grown vegetables. For now I'm giving it a 4 star review but I hope to have an improved experience next time around.
Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options from appetizers to mains.

Super clean and lovely environment. Stopped in for a quick lunch between classes and had a delicious tomato salad with ingredients from the schools garden. Definitely recommend stopping in if your looking for something other then fast food

Staff was very friendly and food was great and very fresh. It was amazing to see such a large variety of vegetables and spices all grown right there in a large garden next to the outdoor patio!
