Dinner at Caren's was great. We really enjoyed our food and the service was fantastic as well; blankets on the back of the chairs were also a nice touch given that dining is outside.

Impeccable service and great food!

This was my third visit and I enjoyed it at least as much as the first two. Service is friendly and efficient, without being too much of either. The atmosphere is lovely, no pots and pans banging in the background, just warm and inviting. The food, once again, was excellent and the octopus divine. Highly recommended.

Beautiful setting, warm service and the best cheese fondue in the city.

Always excellent ambiance, service and food. My favourite 'local'.

Excellent service and great fondue!! We went here for my wife birthday and everything was perfect!!

Quiet and comfortable ambiance....easy to have a conversation. Continental menu done to a high standard. Attentive, friendly service. Wine list is pricey.

Excellent. Comfortable space and friendly attentive service.

it was cold and drafty in the front vut once we were moved into the back room near the fireplace it was very comfortable and cozy

Everything was excellent. Atmosphere, service and the food was great! Wonderful wine, salad, soup, steak frites, lemon tarts and flourless chocolate cake!

Jeremiah is the perfect combination of professional and friendly! Dinner was a Christmas gift for my niece and now she wants the same thing for her birthday! A wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and outstanding service!

Although the restaurant wasn’t very busy, the service was very slow. Our main course was very good, but the dessert was burnt. When we pointed it out to our server, he said he would tell the chef. We asked for the bill twice. When it finally came, the dessert cost had not been removed from. When we pointed it out, the bill was revised with half the cost of the dessert removed. It should have been totally removed. I didn’t argue since I was treating my fiend to lunch and didn’t want to cause a scene. Not sure if I will return to Carens again.

It was New Year's eve, the staff made us feel very welcome, our dinner was just wonderful. Left with a wonderful feeling.

Surprisingly all three of us loved our meal. Food really was good. Atmosphere cosy. A lovely neighbourhood restaurant where food seems to have really improved lately. Service was fine. Owner attentive, all good. A casual, unpretentious place.

The service was pleasant but we were not informed of the price of the special --nowhere did it appear, not om the chalkboard outside and not on the menu. The waitress should have told us, when she described it, especially since it was almost TWICE as much as the other dishes of that category. Also, every request, such as ice or pepper, required more than one reminder.

We made a reservation for a ladies dinner. When we walked in, we waited 5 minutes or so and no one greeted us. Finally someone came and showed us to our table. There was a large party, crowding our table b/c it was next to the bar. Someone asked if we wanted our coats so I took mine off but then the person left and never came back. We sat there for twenty minutes before anyone came to take our drink orders. We didn’t have drink menus, so we could only order water (and a drink menu). Someone then gave us a drink menu but it took another mins 15 before I was able to flag someone down to give us a food menu. Our arrived around 630pm and we didn’t get menus until well after 7:15pm! We ordered the classic fondue to start. It was alright. I liked it b/c you can’t get fondue at many places. But it wasn’t fantastic. The waitress came to ask for our mains and 2 of us knew what we wanted, so we told her. The other 2 didn’t know yet, so the waitress said she’d come back but I think she forgot about us b/c we had to flag her down again. Our meals were okay, but nothing special considering the poor service we were receiving. No one ever came to check on us. After dinner we ordered dessert. I was warned the chocolate cake would take 20 mins. No problem. My friend wanted the creme brûlée but they were out so she got an apple tart. After the 20 mins the waitress told us that the kitchen messed up another party and we were being given the creme brûlée instead of the chocolate cake, and the apple tart. We felt like second class citizens. The waitress was nice, but not very attentive. We didn’t feel like they even cared we were there b/c they had other bigger parties. They didn’t give us the time of day and you shouldn’t either. I wouldn’t come back.

We had a lovely meal. Our waiter was new and did a great job. Thanks.

Fantastic date night, at the perfect spot. Service from Ramzey was exceptional. Highly recommend for a cozy, classy, delightful evening.

I LOVE Caren's!!! The food is exceptionally good. From the Americano coffee to the omelettes to the Nicoiçe salad. The French onion soup, too, is the best! I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Attentive service by the owner; excellent food - everything prepared on site. Friends loved the mussels.

Great dinner and service. My ravioli was cold when first served, but the friendly staff quickly fixed it up. I’ll be returning to this nice, unpretentious local spot.

Great experience having the cheese fondue!

Cozy, attentive service and delicious food.

The food and service once again was amazing! Brought my Mom to the restaurant. She said that the French onion soup was the best she had ever had, and I would totally agree. Great experience. Thank you!

excellent food, service was top notch!

Caren's is a great bistro; I wish we lived closer so that it could be our "local" spot... Congratulations on 16 years of success.

They were very accommodating and friendly and the food, as always was delicious.

Service was impeccable. Special requests were provided and seamless.

Thank you for a great time. Look forward to more! Bob Daniels

Our neighbor hood go to. See you soon!
