Seler Restaurant & Wine and Bistro One are a blended restaurant, brought to you by the Gallant Corp. The kitchen is overseen by Executive Chef, Chris Barnes, who works closely with local farmers and seafood purveyors, offering contemporary, seasonal local cuisine with elements of French cooking. A welcoming dining room, an eclectic wine list and a knowledgeable staff make for perfect pairings. The blending of both restaurants means a mix of the Seler food menu with a few old Bistro One classics.
We went to Seler yesterday to celebrate our friends' birthday dinner & what a delicious and amazing experience for us all. The meals were delicious and the service was great! The wait time for the meals were great and our waitress was lovely. She was able to answer any questions we had about the meal which was great. We will be back! ❤️
I had the pleasure of dining at Seler with my family yesterday, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Upon entering, I was immediately impressed by the beautiful and well-maintained interior of the establishment. We decided to enjoy a full dining experience with an appetizer, main courses, and a dessert. Our waitress was simply outstanding—charming, knowledgeable, and provided stellar recommendations. While every dish was delicious, the crème brûlée truly stole the show. Even my dad, who is notoriously hard to impress, was thoroughly pleased with the restaurant choice. Overall, Seler offered a wonderful dining experience that I am happy to have shared with my family. Highly recommend!
This was the best food experience I’ve ever had, and trust me, I’m fat. The restaurant is in a crappy location but once you walk inside, it’s beautifully constructed, warm and has a lovely smell. The only negative thing I found out of the whole experience was that it was a tad bit dark where we were seated. The food was perfect, seriously… we had the pork belly and arancini, which were both spectacular. Our drinks were very good and weren’t just full of ice like some places. Our mains we got the duck breast and filet mignon. Delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable and polite, and she even did a wonderful job pairing a glass of wine with our meals. Dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding and it was truly the feather in the cap of a great evening. We will certainly be making this place our special occasion restaurant! Please note that the prices are quite high, but in my opinion, they are indicative of the value and quality of the meal/experience you are getting. Worth every cent!
My boyfriend and I decided to give Seler Restaurant & wine a try for our early Valentine’s dinner. It was a last minute reservation which the lady on the phone was very friendly and accommodating and got us in right away. We got there and to our surprise the place is very beautiful with a wonderful ambience. We were seated and our waiter Daniel came to us right away.I’ll have to say he was exceptionally attentive, very polite and friendly. The best service we’ve had in a very long time. We started off with drinks and appetizer , the tempura shrimp to die for, wow!! Then our main dish Filet Mignon, the best we’ve ever had and that’s no lie. Then our dessert no words could explain how amazing the sticky toffee was. We give the service, food and restaurant a ten out of ten. You must try it out. Our compliments to the chef. Thank you Daniel for making our night a memorable one and we will definitely be back. 😃
My mother and I had such a lovely evening to wrap up our vacation. Our waitress was charming, and all items arrived with care and beauty. We particularly recommend the red sangria. Thank you for our beautiful evening.
I recently dined at Seler Restaurant in Thunder Bay and was blown away by the quality of their food. To start, I ordered the Beetroot Tartare appetizer and was impressed by the bold flavors and fresh ingredients. The beetroot was perfectly paired with a tangy dressing and the dish was beautifully presented. For my main course, I decided on the Casarecce Pasta with Healthy goat cheese This dish was a masterpiece, combining hearty pasta with a rich and flavorful sauce made from a mixture of vegetables and herbs. I also tried the Healthy Brownie for dessert which was special request to Chef. I was pleasantly surprised by how rich and satisfying the brownie was, despite being made with healthier ingredients. It was the perfect end to my meal and I appreciated the option of a healthy dessert. Overall, Seler Restaurant offers a fantastic menu of healthy options that are both delicious and well-presented. I was truly impressed by the quality of the food and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a healthy and satisfying dining experience."
Both the beef carpaccio and duck leg confit were executed very well, though the duck confit was on the salty side. Duck breast was very tender and filet mignon was covered in a very interesting sauce that had a sweetness and a hint of spiciness. Filet mignon was ordered medium rare but it was more medium than medium rare. Service was very good, attentive and friendly. Desserts took a while to be brought out, cholocat gateau was said to need 15 min to prepare but took more like 30 min, which explains the melted in-house made ice cream when all desserts were brought to the table. Overall a lovely experience with minor hiccups that prevented it from receiving a 5 star.
My husband suggested we go here for my pre-birthday dinner and it was fabulous. Both of us are from Vancouver and we find it quite a challenge to find a really good restaurant in Thunder Bay. Bistro One is the only restaurant in town that's close to fine dining quality like Vancouver. Excellent food with good service to match. My favourite is the seared tuna with wonton crisp (pictured here) that melts in the mouth. Will surely be back again soon.
Great food. Was busy and loud. But that was tolerable.
Had the tuna sushi! I was amazing!!! Love the food!! Food
Excellent food and ambience
This was a birthday celebration just 2 people. The staff perfect! Service perfect! Atmosphere perfect. And our food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely recommend this place.
Good food, great service.
I highly disapprove of the way the employees are treated in this establishment. How can you be so ignorant and get a worker with a bad hand injury to be carrying tons of plates, and making drinks, and doing inventory? Insane.
Everything about this place was very pleasant and exciting to experience Im glad it and I came into each others path Great food great service will definitely come back Food
Barely had my butt in a seat before I was greeted graciously, and my order taken all in under 5 minutes. Fast and friendly. First time, but will definitely be back Food
The food was delightful! Great service.
The food and service were great! Highly recommended. I particularly liked the duck but everything was solid.
Brock has a great restaurant and his mgr Monique was so great, the staff go above and beyond. I can t say enough good things about this restaurant. Amazing atmosphere and food. Totally recommend for any occasion, romantic dinner, family get together or just being hungry for a good meal. Get the filet. So good.
Had an amazing lunch at Seler. Relatively small menu with so many great options! I had the pork tenderloin served with orzo, the meat was perfect and the portion size was perfect at a great price. Will be back again for sure. Our server was great as well! The only thing I would change is add some more lighting to the restaurant; I almost forgot it was day time until we came out after our meal... Dietary restrictions: Our waiter asked us before we placed our orders of any dietary restrictions/allergies!
Seler is amazing !! Food is always fantastic and the service is great.
Thought we would give it a try for Morhers Day Dinner . . . So surprised. The food was phenomenal. Tasty, hot GREAT flavours and great Portions. Some unique taste and combination. I would say this is one of the best find dinning restaurants in Thinder bay. Not to mention our server - Jessica - was awesome ! !
So delicious and lovely atmosphere.
Excellent! My husband and I booked here to celebrate our anniversary. From the moment we walked in, the warm embrace that is Seler took over with a wonderful welcome by Monique. The menu wasn t large but had ample selection to be sure and please a variety of palates. The drink menu was unique and thoughtful. My husband started with a Tranquilatea. A combination of whiskey and chamomile tea which was refreshing and subtle while I stuck to a glass of Pinot. We got lucky and ended up ordering and receiving the last order of the Arancini as an appetizer. The creamy centres of the Arancini complemented the tomato based sauce they came in beautifully. My husband ordered the Big Lake linguine for dinner. Local pasta in a rich cream sauce with seafood. I opted for the Pork Tenderloin. The combination of peanut sauce and the crunchy glaze on the risotto served with the tenderloin was perfection. Both meals were a treat for the taste buds and perfect. We finished the meal off by sharing a sticky toffee pudding. This was such a pleasant surprise! It wasn t what we were expecting but enjoyed every sweet and sticky bite. Tess, our server was polite, friendly, professional and so attentive. This was our first visit to Seler but it won t be our last. We are excited to try some more of their offerings for our next celebration.
Went for dinner had an amazing time food was excellent and the service was great, definitely recommend
First date in a very long time and this was the best place we could of went to. Amazing food and atmosphere and our server Daniel was fantastic. I would go again in a heartbeat and recommend friends to as well. I had the shrimp and scallop linguine and it was the best linguine I have ever had. My girl got the pesto crusted salmon and it was stellar. I dont think you can go wrong with anything there!
Great for private meetings. Excellent food and drinks. One of my favourites. Their shrimp and scallop pasta is my favourite.
Beautiful restaurant. Food was fantastic. Definitely will be back. Prices very reasonable for fine dining. Food
My favourite place to eat in Thunder Bay. Staff are incredible, the food and drinks is always spectacular. Very welcoming and great place to try new things
Seler never disappoints - the food is amazing, beautiful atmosphere, and the service is always wonderful. Keep up the great work!
Great experience. Service was top notch and friendly. We arrived for our reservation 15 min late and had a show to catch an hour and a half later. They accommodated us fully, getting our order in quickly and apps/entrees out together. Food was incredible too! Braised short ribs could not have been more tender and tasty.
Called to book for Valentines Day on January 17th i was told to call back in a week called again on January 23rd and booked a table gentleman took my email and said Id get an email once they are done planning. Called today February 8th because i have not received an email confirming. They told me I have no reservation!!! WOW great way to do business and now they are fully booked! Will not be going here again. Now too late to dine with my man on Valentines thanks Seler
Another amazing experience and food at Seler restaurant. The service was perfect and it s definitely become my go to place for great tasting food!!!! would recommend!!!
Food was great and the serving size was good. The waitress was attentive and kind. I would recommend anyone go here for a dinner date or a work dinner.
Nice upscale atmosphere. Great drinks
I had a really good experience. Food is delicious and service is amazing. Totally recommended for special occasions. turisteaconawi.blogspot
Food was definitely different but very good. Change of pace from other places in town, lots of space and seating unlike some other fancy restaurants Ive gone to that are more like dining inside a Mc Donalds play pen. Nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful service. Definitely recommend
My partner and I visited for a late Valentines Day celebration. We had the yorkshire appetizer and the lobster risotto and braised shortrib entrées which we enjoyed. The only comment I would make is related to the atmosphere - the local radio station was playing over the speakers, which was funny, but definitely took us out of the fine dining experience.
We had 4 of the appetizers. Scallops were cooked to perfection in a maple sauce. Shrimp were Smokey with tomato base. Pork belly was complimented with apple and fennel. Entrees were above par as well. Filet Mignon was so tender no knife required. Risotto was creamy with lobster. This is the best meal I have been afforded in Thunder Bay in a long time. If you have a discerning palette this is the place of choice. I will be a repeat customer with friends and family.
One of the best dining experiences in Thunder Bay. Excellent food, wine, atmosphere, and service. I suggest anyone looking for up-scale dining experience to check it out.
Chicken parmigiana and risotto is a pure delight
Chantel was a splendid server! Very bubly and is on top of everything:)
Drinks are EXCELLENT. Food superior. The atmosphere is fantastic. Had a great time.
We were in party room. Very loud and echoing. My only complaint. I had the filet. Cooked to perfection! The cucumber marguerite was delicious.
An absolutely extraordinary meal, we were in on Friday night and Heidi was a phenomenal server. Meals were all fantastic, Chef Barnes has the top restaurant in town right now in my opinion.
A hidden treasure in Thunder Bay. A menu with variety, generous portions and great service. (Thanks to Carmine). A restaurant with depth of flavors; flavors that subtly complement each other. A kitchen with chefs that understand food. The shrimp appetizer had a sublime creole sauce that teased with fennel in the background; the Caesar salad was generous with the garlic dressing not overpowering, generously topped with grated cheese and house made grated bacon; the salmon was made as requested with a sauce that worked so well with the fish; the pork tenderloin was perfect with the rice and charred broccolini; all finished with an unbelievable dessert of a chocolate biscuit and ice cream of not one, but three portions. Of course, complemented with an espresso. So decadent. And as you can read it was an experience I wish many others should enjoy. Dietary restrictions: My spouse had some dietary restrictions that the chef had no problem accommodating and adapting for. The results were excellent.
This place is so good. I went there with my girlfriend and let me tell you, ambiance, the hostess and food all 5 star quality. From appetizers to desserts and anything in between awesome. Best food I had in Thunder Bay, hands down.
The ambience was relaxing with soft lighting and a romantic flare. We had ceasars which were extremely salty but after the ice melted a bit were ok. The sauce in the scallop starter was a little too sweet for our taste but the scallops themselves with the micro greens were delicious, juicy and decent size. The filet mignon was absolutely incredible! We have eaten steak from east to west coast and that was top 3! The sides were also very flavourful and perfectly cooked. Compliments to the chef! The service was alright. Our server was very kind but absent. Im not sure if there were staffing issues but we may have seen her twice, we weren t asked if we wanted to order our mains once our starter arrived and had quite a wait for her to come back. When our plates were cleared desert menus were brought instead of giving us the option for our bill or a menu which was a little off putting but perhaps protocol there. After our bill was dropped off she said she was getting the machine but then started placing cutlery on tables so we paid as we walked out. Overall, the experience didn t meet the expectations from reading reviews but that steak meal made up for the little hiccups. Good overall.
Great restaurant for that special occasion.
Are our family enjoyed an upscale, exceptional lunch on the patio. Our server Sarah was very knowledgable about the menu and so we were all pleased with our choices. Her exceptional service, friendly manner, and big smile made our day. Food
This is a regular stop for us. We enjoy it every time. My one gripe/suggestion is that the menu has not changed and I end up eating the same thing every time. I wish Seler would change their menu at least seasonally and offer up some specials. I eat gluten free and they are great to accommodate allergies and food intolerances, but the menu is so limited that I end up eating the same couple of dishes each time. With such a limited population to cater to, having a limited menu makes loyal foodies like me go to other restaurants to get some variety. Even the dessert menu hasnt changed. I mean, I like creme brule as much as anyone, but at least change the flavour weekly for a bit of variety. Variety is the spice of life and in that regard, Seler is becoming a bit boring. I wouldnt even bother with other restaurants if Seler had a more diverse menu. They really are that good.
Great place, great food. Dan is an amazing chef. Will definitely come back again for his food. Can t wait for the fall menu.
Very nice upscale restaurant with a unique menu. Best to make reservations for a Friday night.
It was my first time since it was Bistro One and still one of the best meals Ive had anywhere. Dined with 2 others who also gave it a perfect review.
Over all our experience was very good. The service was impeccable (her name was Kyoto or Ky I hope I got that right) she was a fantastic server. My partners meal, filet (steak) was so good, it was like butter and very flavourful, his sides were also very nice. Out starter (pork belly) was very good. We had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was delicious My main unfortunately was abysmal. I ordered the lobster risotto, the lobster was so chewy and overcooked, I don t like to complain but I did let our server know and she went out of her way to correct. She brought me a new one but the difference from the first was negligible. Basically the whole dish was questionable, why would someone drown risotto in tomato sauce. Like everything tastes good; that tomato sauce would have been fabulous with a pasta but what I had was bits of rice floating around in sauce. I can t tell you if the risotto itself was good, who could tell? I will definitely go back because so many things were good but they really have to rethink the lobster risotto. Parking: Please let me done talking about parking
Great lunch spot.
Last night our team from Royal LePage Lannon Realty held our Annual Office Christmas Party at Seler! 87 guests in total! We had a remarkable evening with colleagues and family. The General Manager Monique and Executive Chef Chris with the tremendous support of their team did an amazing job. The service was top notch! The food was incredible! And the venue was perfect. Thank you Monique & Chris for such a wonderful evening. Our team at Royal LePage Lannon Realty appreciates everything you and your team did to help us celebrate the holidays in style!
The service and Food quality was way above then we were use too. Highly recommend, and the prices werent that bad, we were expecting a much higher bill. Thank you for making our 26 year anniversary dinner a good one to remember. Kid-friendliness: For a high quality fancy restaurant, our child was treated with respect and they were very accommodating.
My fiancé and I ate here for a birthday dinner. The scallops (an appetizer) were incredible and the staff was lovely and accommodating. Make sure to save some bread to dip in the scallop sauce (thanks to Katrina, our server, for the tip) I chose the cognac flamed duck and found the outer crust to be too charred for my liking. Despite this being the intended serving method, our waitstaff replaced the dish with another duck breast that was not charred, which I preferred. It was delicious. My fiancé and I were a bit embarrassed but the team at Bistro One was so gracious and friendly, the experience was our best in a Thunder Bay restaurant in the three years we have lived here.
Our waitress was amazing and the food was an explosion of flavours and absolutely delicious
The restaurant was quiet and perfect for a nice dinner for 2! Food was sooooo good!! And the staff are lovely
Best meal in Thunder Bay by a long shot. The service was fantastic as were the meals. Loved the duck. The vegetables were the only Meh item.
Was ok
Amazing food and all around great experience! chef Travis has done great things for The food scene in Thunder Bay !
Homemade ice cream wasn t that great and didn t meet the expectations. Fillet Mignon and Prawns appetizer were just delicious and finely made! Awesome service as well.
Very nice restaurant. Ordered the seasonal sangria and a pasta dish. I got the wrong pasta but I quickly received the right dish. They even offered to remake my friends food so that hers was warm/we could eat together. Food was delicious. We had our entrees discounted very generously and were apologized to a bunch. The error wasn t that big of a deal but we felt very appreciated and taken care of. Excellent customer service.
Awesome food, amazing service. Highly recommended great atmosphere
Terrible service, waited over an hour for steak dinners that were barely warm when they arrived! Everyone was getting their meals around us! They simply forgot about us! We saw our steaks going to a couple that came in long after us!!! Last meal at the Bistro! We were there for an anniversary dinner in the past and it was wonderful! Went early in case it was busy but didn t matter! Now it is not worth the money even when they comped us one dinner! The steak was barely warm, tasty but little to go with it! Very disappointing!!!
Excellent! The prawns are deadly!
What a drastic decline in quality. Long time Thunder Bay classic has taken a shocking turn for the worse.
Have been for lunch and dinner several times always a great meal, I like getting the prawns and the filet but the pork belly is really nice too. Great cocktails the bramble was good.
Chef Chris and the entire staff took care of us like we were family. All 4 of us had a great meal and enjoyed ourselves.
I recently had a going away party for a close friend at Seler and I must say the food and service is absolutely fantastic!! We had a party of 10 people, and I had called ahead to make a reservation. I spoke with Chantal and when I told her about the party, she immediately jumped into action!! She helped plan a custom menu, took care of the organization of the party and assisted in the set up. Our server was also excellent, she was so kind and gave the exceptional service. Big thank you to everyone at Seler who made our party possible!!!
Very nice place. When busy, a lot of dead time. Our server was great! Food was good. Nice night out!
Great service and the food was amazing.
I might be a little late, but let me tell you how great their Valentines menu was. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the bajesus out of that meal. It was a pickup menu, I know what you are thinking pickup with a nice meal! how could it possibly last. Well I will tell you. It was packaged so that the hot items kept each other hot and the cold items didnt take any of the heat from the hot food. The food itself was hot and delicious. The dessert was fantastic as well. Would recommend to anyone; pickup, dine in, it doesnt matter. A good meal will be had
Always a great dining experience!
Steak and cheesecake!
good food nice atmosphere really expensive
Excellent service. Tasty food
The food was creative, prepared well and the timing was just right for each course. The waiter was so personable (Carmen) didnt intrude nor leave us for too long. Go to this place if passing through/ ir of you live in Thunder Bay. Excellent meal
Great Food, Cooks must be amazing!!
Great service, the food was excellent as well. Portions were generous, we had more than enough. We had the scallops and pork belly as appetizers and we were more than pleased. I would definitely recommend if you re in town.
Overall food was fantastic..BUT,,,couldnt cut the green vegetables or chew them...never recognised 25th anniversary as requested at booking,,,and didnt know lobster was off the menu until arrived..(. my partner was only wanting lobster dish)..dissapointed for supposedly high end establishment...
This is officially one of my favorite restaurants in Thunder bay. Ive been a few time before but this week was my first experience since they added the bar side. Ive always preferred sitting at the bar so it made Bistro One more approachable for me personally. The bar is well designed and very elegant. Their drink selection and pricing is also amazing. The food is well worth the price even on a weekday. Ive gone twice this week. Once with my partner and the second time by myself. My partner and I shared an app and entrée. The ahi tuna was absolutely perfect and well balanced. The second time I went I enjoyed the pork belly and short rib pasta. The pasta might have been one of the best pasta dishes Ive ever ordered in restaurant. The real reason why I will continue to go back is the staff. The staff is unbelievable! A few mentions would be the manager on duty at the time Kale, bartender Cali, Leah, and Tesni. They are all so incredibly wonderful. When I was dining alone Cali even walked me to my vehicle so I wouldnt be alone. Definitely worth going if youve never been. 10/10
Super delicious and very friendly staff! The scallops were fantastic!
Always a great experience at Bistro One. This time it was for lunch. The server was fantastic. They gave us great recommendations and answered all of our questions. The food came quickly and it was delicious. Try the wasabi tuna and the fried buttermilk chicken sandwich. You wont be disappointed.
Great food and fantastic service! They are always changing there menus and trying new stuff!
Absolutely the best restaurant in town! The scallops were the best Ive ever had! My salmon was cooked perfectly and my husbands steak with their famous peppercorn cream sauce.....wow! Just wow! It certainly has left a wonderful impression on us and we are eagerly awaiting another meal here! You will be absolutely delighted by their meals and quality of service. Just amazing!!
Food wasnt that great! Ive had a few full course dinners at Bistro One over the years and was always satisfied. Today was my first lunch there and I was somewhat disappointed with both my salad and my main dish. Beet & Quinoa salad which was mostly lettuce was a bit on the wilted side and I could not find any quinoa in there either. My main dish was the Crisp Vegetable Risotto which was a risotto cake fried or baked to a crisp in a pool of rich creamy sauce. Food was disappointing, atmosphere was great. Still had a good time so 3 starts. I may come back for dinner again but probably not for lunch.
I had a business lunch here and it was very good. The seafood chowder appetizer was delicious and could have been a meal in itself, but we also tried the grilled cheese with a warm tomato salad and it was great for a cold winter day. We also had some chocolate mousse and the flavours were fantastic. The staff were very friendly and gave some helpful advice. I would definitely recommend you give them a try for lunch.
Excellent!!
Always have great experience. Recently went vegan and they made an amazing dish. Thank you!
Food is always on point!
Went for dinner. Servers are nice but service was slow. Started with a salad that was boring at best. The main was a 30$ pasta with shrimps which was very bland. To top it off, dessert was creme brulee, perhaps the worst I have ever had. The sugar crust was so thick, it felt I was chewing on hard candy. Because the crust was thick, it took too long to torch so the layer under the crust was warm. Seriously, for an over priced place, they need to step up their game. Never again.
Best steak in town. Great atmosphere. Wonderful staff.
The new lunch and dinner menu are fantastic, and the new renovations add to Bistro Ones charm as a local hot spot. The service at Bistro is great, fantastic cocktails and wine recommendations, excellent chefs, and knowledgeable staff.
Great food, great atmosphere and Brooke was an awesome server
Great food and service
Thunder bays best restaurant by far. The food was to die for. Our waitress Stephanie was attentive, knowledgeable and super friendly. 5 stars hands down
Fantastic meal as always. The duck was PHENOMENAL. Great service. 10/10
If you are looking for a quiet, upscale place to enjoy a great meal, this is the place. Spotlessly clean, safety protocols in place, and friendly service along with delicious food make this the perfect place to go if you need to get out of the house for a sanity break!!
Great new years eve dinner. Good service great food.
Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere.
Great service, food atmosphere
Food wasnt as good as in the past. Decent service. Overpriced.
The only thing that is better than the 5 star food is the great service we receive every visit. By far the best restaurant in town.
Staff wonderful food fantastic a little pricey but? Oh well
Food 3 stars Service 4 stars We had fantastic service upon arrival. The scallops were excellent but the homeade pasta was overcooked and the lamb dish lacked any sort of robust flavors. Boring food. Id give the service 5 stars but the lamb was recommended. I ordered it medium rare. The dessert cheese was pretty tasty and the wine that was my doing. This is the first sub 4 star review Ive ever given to a restaurant with this high of an overall rating. At least Jean is retiring with a good reputation overall. I this place ends up staying open, Ill definitely give it a shot.
Fav restaurant in TBay!!!!!
No place is better. Over twenty years of great food and memories.
Excellent duck!
Excellent food and service. However closing for good this weekend. Owner retiring
We were led to our table, seated, the gentleman put our napkins in our laps. Next water was served. The glasses were kept full all evening. A small bowl of olives was brought out. Then a basket of bread and a plate with triangle shaped slices of butter and a head of roasted garlic to spread. Delicious. My husband chose the Tempura Battered Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail with tomato/chipotle salsa, spicy Guacamole, Tortilla crisps. He said it tasted amazing. I chose the Crispy Apple Braised Pork Belly with Fennel/Apple slaw, cranberries, pineapple, Pork jus Reduction. What a wonderful blend of flavours. The pork belly was nice and crisp. My husband ordered Rosemary Roasted Rack of Spring Lamb with Gorgonzola Butter, Roasted Potatoes & Vegetables. When asked they recommended Pinot Noir wine with the Lamb. Also that the chef recommends it served medium rare. I chose the Red Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs with Garlic/Potato Mash, Roasted Heirloom Carrots, Port Reduction, Orange Gremolata. Our entrees were cooked to perfection and tasted so good. Then after the plates were cleared, they brought us dessert menus and an after dinner alcohol menu. We were full by now but decided to split Warm Chocolate Gâteau with Raspberry Coulis, Fresh Berries and Cappuccino Icecream. A small chocolate cake filled with warm chocolate on a plate with Raspberry Coulis with Bistro written in chocolate syrup and more syrup drizzled on the 2 small scoops of icecream beside the fresh, strawberries, 2 blueberries, 2 black berries and a sprig of mint. The taste was out of this world. The bill was brought with 2 Andes chocolate mints. What a wonderful night out.
Its so good and maintained so well . Entire views were so good . Its a great experiences . Great food and great service . The interior were so attractive and peaceful. Staff were so pleasant and helpful . I ordered the pasta and its so tasty on reasonable prices .
Bistro One is the one of best restaurant . There services were great Staff take care of every one . They severed food on time . I loved the desert its so tasty.
This is a really great restaurant. Everything from the kitchen is always top notch. The warm chocolate gateau is the best thing ever!
We attended a Christmas party for the staff of remax reality at bistro one and the food and staff were really good well worth the visit i would go there again
Went with a group. Had a variety of meals. All were excellent. Service was excellent.
Best place to eat in Thunder Bay
Quality and service has gone down over the years
Excellent service, privately cozy and the food absolutely delicious.
Great food
Food was absolutely amazing! And staff was very attentive.
Exquisite food and perfect service! Highly recommended.
This place is very well hide. I couldnt believe there is a place like that in Thunder Bay. Expensive. Food take time, but it worth it. Quality on food is amazing. Excellent waitress service. It was paintfull no to ask for dessert. Main dish was enough.
Easily the best place in Thunder Bay for unparalleled food and service! It was incredibly apparent how much effort the staff put in to making Bistro One the absolute best dining experience it can be.
Great atmosphere. It was like stepping into a completely different atmosphere with lovely service. The appetizer wasnt all that, a bit too sweet (we had the scallop). Entrees were excellent -duck and lamb. I would have liked the duck with a bit less sauce and the lamb without the cheese, but overall they were great. It would have been nice to have warm bread and softer butter too. However, there was this creamy garlic spread that was garlic in its skin but spreadable, which was for the bread. Dont know how it was made but it was genius and oh so lovely. Overall, I would eat here again.
Dont let the exterior fool you. Bistro one has great service, wonderful ambiance and the food... wow! Well worth the price for the experience. Brittany had excellent attention to detail and recommendations for wine pairings. Definently on our list next time we are in thunder bay.
Wow! Bistro One is amazing. The service is impeccable, friendly, and witty. Our server made us feel right at home, had great knowledge of the menu, was able to offer recommendations, and went out of her way to find the answer to our question about the cognac we had selected. She really made us feel special. And the food was absolutely amazing. Nestled in an industrial setting Bistro One does not look like much from the outside but dont let that fool you. Once you go through the door you are transported into a luxurious upscale restaurant where you can relax and enjoy a truly fine meal.
Not only do i have zero comlaints, but i cannot think of anyone that could complain. Our server (brittany) was fantastic. My wine glass was never empty and there was nothing that she made us wait for. The food came out in a timely matter and we were well taken care of. Perfect place for a fancy date.
My favourite restaurant for ever.
The Best
Amazing atmosphere
My wife and I visit Thunder Bay every year to visit family. We always try a new restaurant while visiting. This may have been our favorite one yet. Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Our server was fantastic too. Great experience highly recommend it.
The food is exceptional. The owner is very friendly and accommodating.
Excellent food and service
Brittany was a fantastic waitress and ambassador. Dinner was lovely. Appetizers and main dishes were full of flavour.
Ive been here twice and it has been consistently satisfying, and enjoyable! Excellent service. Large portions. Consistently delicious food. Beautiful artwork. Nice decor, and atmosphere. Have tried the beef rib, duck breast, filet mignon, deep fried banana and skor bar spring rolls, and the warm chocolate gâteau (see attached picture) - all amazing. Excellent for date nights (intimate seating in nicely tucked away areas present), office gatherings (had a comfortable round table 6), and i believe there is larger, seperate seating area for larger gatherings. Menu available online.
It was a great night
A bit expensive but yummy
Relaxing atmosphere. Fantastic fare. Great service.
Definitely one of the top restaurants in town. I have been many times and we have dinner raved about the food every time.
Perfect place to have a relaxed dinner with your partner. Highly recommended, but once a year or so xD...
Fantastic food and great service! Friendly staff makes sure you are comfortable and well taken care of
Fantastic food and even better service. Perfect place to unwind with some great food and wine.
Another excellent meal and service. Always consistent, one of the best places to eat in Thunder Bay. Their duck confit is better than in Paris.
Great restaurant, great service, excellent wine selection.
Great restaurant, amazing food and staff. Highly recommended for romantic date nights!
Staff are friendly, very personable and accommodating. As a high maintenance eater, I ordered off menu and was never made to feel like I needed to apologize. The food met every expectation and we left full and satisfied.
Absolutely amazing. Staff were on their game, food was incredible (I had the duck) and the chef definitely knew what he was doing. I had high expectations going in and Bistro One delivered! Highly recommended.
Food was delicious, staff were excellent. Exactly what you expect from a high end restaurant.
Excellent service, great food.
Cognac duck, with walnut Rice and fresh thyme, very good
Excellent, hands down the best in Thunder Bay.
This is probably the best restaurant in Thunder Bay. I have been there many times and have never been disappointed. The Veal steak was mouth watering and the Duck is equally as good. The services is wonderful. You get the service of a fine dine establishment but in a relaxed atmosphere. Leave your tie at home.
