“Bistro Grande is approved by the Kashruth Council of Canada, which oversees kosher food,” explains Arthur Batikan, manager of the Eglinton West vegetarian restaurant. “Every single one of our lettuces is checked so that it’s as clean as can be and the fish is prepared to strict and healthy standards.”
While Bistro Grande caters to an enthusiastic local Jewish community for whom kosher dining is a way of life, it also attracts diners who simply want to eat healthy, vegetarian food. “We open our arms to everyone,” says Arthur. If the idea of kosher or vegetarian food brings a left-of-centre menu to mind, think again. Arthur describes the menu as Mediterranean, and pastas, fish dishes, salads, soups and pizzas made in a wood-burning stove are among the typical fare at this welcoming spot.

The food was bland. The waitress got angry with my friends and I for not giving her at least %15 tips. We all tipped, but apparently not enough for her. She was very demanding. Extremely disappointed.
Surprised at the welcoming and energetic waitress service Pasta dishes, I am told by others, and my veg. soup and tuna steak dish were light and delicious, and our choice of wines proved to be exemplary Will keep your business card for future special dining experience Michael Dales

We have been restaurant patrons since our daughter was a baby and is now in university. We have not been here since before the pandemic. While the food has always been great, it was OUTSTANDING last nite. We had the tuna, a fish special and a pasta dish. We all kept tasting each other’s food. Our server was great and made some great suggestions. One of the servers remembered us from when our daughter was a baby!!! Love this resto.

Large portions so best to share a main and have your own appetizer. It’s a bit expensive but the food was good. House white wine was 14.00$ per glass but a good pour.

Very nice staff, great service. Food is really subpar. Very disappointed by the quality of the food. Not the quality you would expect from what is billed as "memorable restaurant experience." Would not come back.

We had a wonderful lunch the restaurant follows social distancing requirements, they had 2 carafe's with lemon water on the table. We all enjoyed our meals the soup was made onsite, the eggplant parmesan was every delicious a real winner. I had the Roma Pizza which was delicious and the others had fish & chips which they thought were one of the best. They have great Cappuccino and offer expresso's and americano coffee. The place while busy we never felt rushed and felt very safe. Everyone agreed this was a fabulous restaurant and would return. Thank you

We had a reserved for 7pm and got called to say our reservation would have to be cancelled because of system overbooking. We came from another city so we were very unhappy with this. We were later offered a 7:45 booking. We sat 20 min at the table and no one attended us. We unfortunately left without ordering. The waitress was very nice upon arrival and super busy and I don’t blame her at all, but I do think the owner really needs to hire more ple.
