Cute little bistro with scrumptious food. Discovered it on my trip to the city. I came in for breakfast before what was going to be a hard day out. The oatmeal was done right (something very few people seem to manage). Complete with fresh fruits, nuts, almond milk and brown sugar on the side. And piping hot. All served with a warm smile. Rounded off the breakfast with coconut cocoa ball (which almost literally melted in the mouth). A fantastic start to the day!
There’s always strange characters when I come here. Not sure why. But the perogies are delicious and the staff is always friendly. They also have a few gelato options (rotating flavours) which are good.
Food tastes homemade and especially fresh/quality. Coffee was super good and I can't say that about most places. Very cheerful staff/ownership. Seems like a very comfortable place to grab something simple. Small portions and appropriate prices.
A gem of a spot. Only open for about a year at this location, this place offers fantastic food at excellent prices. They do a great range of sandwiches, and offer an excellent gluten-free bread option. Their pierogies are amazing. Very light, not at all stodgy as some can be. The potato salad is delicious, just the right balance of ingredients so that none overwhelms the whole. They also do all-day breakfasts and an amazing range of teas and coffees. Everything is made fresh to order, and the service is friendly and welcoming. With so many options on Elgin Street this place is easily overlooked, but it's well worth trying.
The place is super cozy with a great vibe. The staff is friendly and the service is on point. The food is delicious and filling.
I live in the area and this is the best spot for homemade food! Amazing service, a variety of drinks, deserts, salads, sandwiches etc. The women running the place are so kind, hard working, and truly care about your experience. Also, make sure to try the potato salad!
Didn't fancy anything walking down Elgin but was hungry. Walked in not know what to expect other than they had a patrons busy eating and chatting. The cabbage rolls caught my eye but they ran out of sauce and the older lady said her sister needed 30 mins to make more (very good sign!). Being hungry I could wait, so picked what caught my eye which was a Schnitzel on bun paired with potato salad, pineapple citrus cake and large Americano. Everything was fresh home made and the Schnitzel on bun for 9 dollars was the highlight! This great bistro I think operated by two older sisters sisters deserves more visits for wholesome good food at very reasonable prices.
Absolutely lovely place, and I would say, a hidden gem! There's always new specials to keep things fresh. One of the best Polish food places in Ottawa! Props to the amazing owner too 🇵🇱
Kind Polish lady served me, and the Paris brie sandwich was excellent with lots of cheese and ham
Very sweet place
I loved this place. I have tried perogies in a lot of different cafes and restaurants, but these do taste like home. Highly recommend!
We went for our lunch break but I had to use the bathroom first and when I came out the lady behind the counter told me I could at least pay for the toilet paper and soap. It was a bizarre interaction and we left without ordering. Very disappointed and insulted.
Food portion small, fall special sausage and sour crow tastes good, breakfast plate no good. Washroom sink so small, not functional at all.
Came here and got a schnitzel sandwich. Overall it was fine, but it was quite messy to eat and overall the flavors were just okay.
Lots of great meals to choose from. All day breakfast, lunch, good dinner selection. Also a series of good drinks. Very friendly staff
Love this place, great for a meal or just a coffee and biscotti. All home made cakes, cookies are delicious.
Open early and have excellent smoothies, very friendly staff, good food
The owner is a very nice lady. The ice cream was very good
This is one of my familys favorite places. Thank you. Very tasty. Food
Went today with a friend who introduced me to u
Its a nice atmosphere here. The elder ladies serving me were so sweet and kind :)
Very happy with all the services and excellent food
The food is delicious with lots of choices, the service impeccable and the atmosphere is very nice. Beautiful spot for a great meal. Thanks again for your warm approach
Kindness, healthy and delicious food, very clean little restaurant! Lunch plate is made with avocado, multigrain bread, cheese, sausage or ham, tomatoes, eggs.... wowww! $14
Stumbled on this place looking for a quick breakfast and were not disappointed. Very friendly service, great food and good prices. Will be back!
Best place to eat.Must visit
Very kind owners, very good homemade food must try the pierogies and sandwiches! Very clean, very organized. 1000% would recommend coming here!!!!
Love Euro Bistro! Sisters Gosia and Krysia put so much love into their homemade dishes and desserts! Cannot rave enough about their Polish toasted sandwiches (Zapiekanka) and Pierogies (we got them fried, so yummy)! Their desserts are amazing as well: cookies, cakes, date squares, it s all fantastic! Highly recommend trying, street parking or walk to and check out the cute Elgin St. while there!
Euro Bistro is fantastic! The atmosphere is cozy, and the family owned and operated environment is very welcoming. Their sandwiches are a standout, especially the Muffaletta panini. The fresh ingredients and perfect seasoning make every bite delicious. A great spot for morning coffee or brunch!
Delicious Authentic Polish/Ukrainian pierogis. Wonderful and friendly staff!
Everything Ive tried is so fresh and delicious! The smoothies are incredibly tasty. Highly recommended!
The perfect place for a homemade-style meal, its such a cozy spot with friendly service. I love to pop in for their smoked salmon bagel, or the Norwegian smoked salmon sandwich at lunchtime.
For good food you need the Europeans :-)
If you fancy an Australian/Kiwi style flat white (ask at the counter), this is the place to go to. Great cafe with some Eastern European options to munch on!
Absolutely delicious sandwiches, thankfully they are open for lunch as they are the perfect place to grab something to eat at work. The tuna salad sandwich is perfect, and their varying desserts always hit the spot. The prices are pretty great too, especially considering they are on Elgin! Very much recommend you stop and grab a bite at Euro Bistro.
Its an Amazing place to visit. The owner is very nice . Their vegan sandwhich, Pita wrap , coffee everything is very nice
I love Euro Bistro! Staff is friendly and the food is great. I loved the schnitzel sandwich and my friend recommends the pierogi. A great Centretown gem.
Heaven is a place on earth and it s euro bistro on elgin
The german potato salad with a schnitzel is wunderbar. Get a sandie here not Sub(par)Way.
My favourite spot downtown for sandwiches and coffee, made with love and immense quality and care. Highly recommended, Ive tried a few different paninis and theyre all amazing. Also some of the best cakes !!!!!!
I love this place. The food is all so tasty and the two women who run it are delightful. I highly recommend the pierogies and the iced coffee.
Great little eatery with healthy and tasty options, very fresh and made to order. The staff is lovely and the portions generous.
Probably one of the most welcoming places I have ever had the pleasure of dining at. The owners helped me get into my jeep because I lost my keys. The food is phenomenal and I highly suggest the cabbage rolls or poutine. God bless the family of this fine establishment.
Excellent little bistro. The Polish ladies working there were very friendly and the food was good; it all seems to be homemade. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free breads, soups, pastries available.
Had the schnitzel on a Kaiser and it was amazing! Just like Babcia used to make. The service, exemplary! This place is an Elgin St. jewel.
very charming staff
Delicious sandwiches and drinks, warm and efficient service, truly an Ottawa gem!
Original and delicious in the middle of fast food. We loved the soup and the hot drink. Vegetarian options: Sandwich and salads with falafel, vegetable soup
Delicious perogies
Wonderful place to have breakfast! Good food, affordable and the customer service was outstanding! Also the design of the establishment is gorgeous!
Loved this bistro and its vibe. The lady working was so nice and welcoming. I had a tuna salad sandwich with by a cold latte and cheesecake. Everything was so yummy. Would definitely come back.
A hidden gem on Elgin street. Good size portions, great prices, and incredibly tasty. Asked for the owners recommendation and was not disappointed.
A great Bistro. A welcome addition to Elgin Street
The Borsh was amazing my sandwich not so much . It was the schnitzel sandwich it had very little taste .
Very good soup of the day (butternut squash with coconut) and excellent schnitzel sandwich! The prices are very reasonable. It was my first time going, and I will certainly be back in the future!
So happy to have stumbled upon this gem! Woman working was so kind, very accommodating to my dietary needs. Cozy and friendly atmosphere.
Food: it s a cafe that serves light meal such as sandwiches, soup, cake and sweets. pretty good for its price on Elgin. Atmosphere: It s a Café. Pretty peaceful and quiet. Service: Nothing dispicable, pretty standard place. Time: bout as fast as any cafe would be.
Excellent place. If you go here, get the Norwegian Salmon sandwich, its perfect. Maybe a Creme Brulee Latte as well. Great prices, great food, great staff. 1 star off Atmosphere because their fake brick wallpaper is upside down xD
Best zapiekanka on this side of the Atlantic! Stopped in for breakfast and had a zapiekanka that reminded me of Poland. Perfectly toasted, just the right amount of crisp but still soft inside. Had a lovely chat with the owner, very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch or even just a coffee. Vegetarian options: Menu has both vegetarian and vegan options
Very tasty and healthy sandwiches, great vegetarian options available
Best breakfast in Ottawa! Staff extremely friendly, helpful and kind. Delicious food.
Wonderful tasting food and amazing cooking. The burger I had was beautifully seasoned and the sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy. Definitely a landmark in my books.
Wow! The service was wonderful and the food was amazing! Definitely go here! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options
cleaned our plates! thank you for the quick service
Great breakfasts choices. Must be the best egg muffin Ive ever had.
Amazing Food, and so kind
Wow . Excellent food. Nice and friendly service.

Cutest place with nice people!

Popped in for a quick sandwich - Norwegian salmon .it was fantastic, and the Tiramisu was out of this world Can t wait to try more items
Lovely quiet place served by couple of enchanting ladies. Try the oatmeal with nuts and mixed berries. Out of this world!!!
Highly recommend, I m super glad they opened up a location on Elgin. Food is fresh and good quality, and the service is amazing. I will definitely be having many lunches here in the future.
This place is just amazing! The owner is such a sweet heart really takes care of you! Love their different types of choices really easy to understand. The whole staff are beautiful people really attentive! Salmon bagel cream cheese with red onions just hits the spot every time! Thank you, Ricky
Went there today for the first time. I had the millennium panini. It was amazing! Fresh, big, and wonderfully fair prices. I live and work in the area and having a nice,well priced bistro around is exactly what we needed! Great service too!! Highly recommend
A delightful European café in Ottawa with super friendly and pleasant staff . It was an absolute joy to hear Polish being spoken felt like a mini trip home! The service was top-notch, and the cappuccino was OMG-level delicious, with a rich foam how I adore best. The pakhava took me on a nostalgia trip, reminding me of cozy family gatherings. This place has officially secured a spot in my heart as my go-to spot for coffee dates with pals . Oh, and guess what? They serve up traditional Ukrainian dishes, like varenyky (pierogies) bursting with potato goodness Dont miss out seriously, go check it out and indulge in all the yummy goodness! Dzi kuj bardzo!
Really great little cafe right on Elgin. The food is really good and there are plenty of vegetarian options. I recommend the Zapiekanka too - just be sure to have enough space in your tummy The service is really good too - which is the primary thing that makes me keep coming back!
Great place for lunch. Amazing, friendly ladies take great care of you. All home food Thanks ladies for a great lunch!
Delicious coffee & sandwich! Lots of options to choose from, & great prices. I see many coffees and sandwiches in my future from here, maybe even some gelato too :) Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread
One of the best European places to eat in Ottawa.
Stopped in for breakfast. Delicious smoothie, and the breakfast wrap was so so good. Great prices too. Top notch overall!
A fantastic shop run by genuinely sweet owners. The new location boasts a new menu, allowing them to show off some delicious new items. The pierogies are delicious and made on site
I m so happy with their services and mostly I m glad that they care about not putting too much sugar into their food and drinks and their foods are fresh.
Highly recommend ! Delicious food and lovely service. We will definitely come back on our next visits in Ottawa!
Charming service. Very friendly. Would return :)

The best thing happened to Elgin street. They have the best soups in town Food
Very good food. Very good east European food! I felt home for 1 hour!
Just tried this place for the first time. Took out some schnitzel sandwiches. They were really good - tasted home made. All fresh ingredients and delicious combination of flavours. Looking forward to a return visit to try some of the items on their menu. Very friendly service as well.
A delightful little eatery with tasty honest fare at reasonable prices, in a modest but cozy setting, operated by the nicest people in the world. Oh and the coffee is fabulous.
Holy cow the food here is tasty! We tried the Polish baked toastie, a panini and the mushroom soup along with some cookies. Quality is excellent better than many expensive restaurants and bakeries! Great ingredients, authentic home-made food. Prices are extremely affordable. The owner is just the friendliest woman. We will be coming back regularly.
We had one of the zapiekanka. This is a reminder of the tastes from the back home in Poland If you are looking for authentic Polish food, this is the place to go. All of the food is home made, fresh and tasty. Food
We really enjoyed our visit recently to the Euro Bistro. We enjoyed some delicious desserts and hot, tasty teas, both of which were very reasonably priced. Id definitely recommend the kind of cake I had, which was a very tasty and moist layered chocolate cake with cherries in it (Marcello cake).
I come here whenever Im in town. Excellent, home made and hearty food. And the staff is super friendly too!
Pleasant service, lovely food, relaxing atmosphere. Thank you

Then our 2nd visit we had lunch and my son had the cabbage rolls which were Amazing and I had the Falafel plate which was amazing and had so many great things with it. The ladies there are so sweet and even during the busy times they let our 2 young girls play a bingo game to keep them occupied which was really sweet.

Not enough praise for this restaurant. So thankful that we came upon them when we were in Ottawa. Such kind people and hard workers. They were so busy but got food to everyone. They stayed open past close feeding people who came in. We came upon them by accident, but we will 100% return when we come back to Ottawa. Food was hot and tasty and there were lots of great options to choose from as well! Thank you for such a good experience, and God bless you all!
Incredible atmosphere, coffee, and staff. A hidden gem in Ottawa.
Top place to go for food, drinks and coffee if I could give them 6 stars I would, amazing people, amazing service . A+++
What a wonderful place and fantastic people - wow - is really what needs to be said. Lots of vegetarian and vegan choices plus gluten free bread. Even the gravy on the poutine was vegetarian!! Best food we have shared as a family in a restaurant in years.
The most welcoming ambiance and good food. Run by the kindest people in Ottawa. Highly recommend.
Excellent food made with love. The owners are lovely and the service is excellent. We feel at home there. My favorite restaurant in Ottawa by far
