    We had a delightful lunch at the Bistro. Service was efficient and professional and out table quiet and not on a main corridor. The food was excellent and arrived promptly. The Roasted Chicken Panzanella was exceptional and the Sweet Pea Salad very good. The added salmon was excellent- moist and perfectly cooked. An excellent lunch - we could not have had a more enjoyable experience.

    My friend and I meet at the Bistro often and can always count on an excellent, unhurried lunch before perusing the Gallery. So happy the Italian-style artichokes remain on the menu.

    Food was delicious and nicely presented. Drink pairings were interesting - we tried some wines that we might not otherwise have tried.

    Pop Art I was 4 amazing courses. Each one was a fabulous delight of flavours and colours related to different artists and their design aesthetic. Chef came to our table to chat. AGO Bistro is fine dining at exceptionally reasonable pricing. Everyone should go!

    Five of us went to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Service was excellent. We weren’t rushed, no loud music , and food was very good. We were all appreciative that they let us linger even though kitchen was closed. I’d highly revommend.

    Great place to go after visiting the Art Gallery of Ontario. Small menu, but good options. I got the Sirloin. Big flavor.
