“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.
We had not been to Bistro Grande in a long time but nothing has changed....still great food, great staff and a feeling of being with family.

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.
