Bijou Restaurant

This is the new Bijou. Doesn't have the same charm as the old one. Food is lovely, cocktails are great. Enjoyed a White Linen with Strawberry Gazpacho soup. Delicious! Grilled octopus, yum. The dessert was a miss. Pannacotta was like rubber. Sad but true. Nice waiter.

We shared the beet and peach salad - different and very tasty. Main selections included the Scallop and risotto dish, and white fish with arancini.

I just had the most AMAZING meal at Stratford’s Bijou Restaurant! The Beet and Peach Salad was delicious (locally sourced ingredients). I had the Grilled Tenderloin (FANTASTIC!!!). My wife had the Seared Scallops with Risotto (PERFECTLY Done!). And ended with the delicious Cannolis Chocolate Cherry desert (YUM!!!). All around a memorable, enjoyable evening in a very cool place. Cheers Bijou! 😀👍👍

Excellent food with a small but unusual varied menu. We were a party of 10 and everyone enjoyed their dishes. My wild boar was delicious and my husband's lamb also an interesting dish full of flavor. The beef and scallops were reported to be delicious too. Highly recommended!

This place has been around for years now and there's good reasons why. The food is amazing and diverse. Their talent in the kitchen is met with its equal behind the bar. Not only is the quality near perfect, it is special. It is one of a very few places I've been that serves venison with the same respect and quality reserved for the finest cuts of beef. They also continue to evolve their menu. They do not stand idly by, waiting to be out done. They adapt and change, welcoming each season with fresh ideas. I've been coming to the Festival for more than a decade now and we've always eaten here when we come, but Bijou alone is reason enough to come to Stratford.

Lovely new location with cozy patio. Some restaurants have the atmosphere but not the food; others have the food but lack atmosphere. Bijou delivers it all: creative, beautifully presented dishes, in a lovely setting, served by good natured and knowledgeable staff. Make it a late dinner and enjoy live music from any one of a wide lineup of talented local and regional artists. Bijou is special. Really appreciated their easy accommodation of dietary needs - low carb? Keto? Carnivore? Paleo? You are welcome here.

Really enjoyed our dinner and dessert! Strawberry shortcake was amazing, loved the peach 🍑 and beet appetizer! Highly recommend 👌

To be fair this is a meat-forward restaurant so I had no business being here as a vegan...but someone else chose it for a post-theatre dinner. The sole entre that could be "veganized" was the mushroom risotto. The sodium levels were through the roof for my palate. Mushrooms were nice but any umami they would have contributed was overpowered by salt. There was just not a lot of tasty excitement going on (maybe some charred broccolini or something could have added depth? Anyway, for $29 I expect a dish to be superb. Not unenjoyable. Super non-alcoholic cocktail, friendly waitstaff and aesthetically pleasing interior. But probably not the best option for a vegan.
