“ So amazing- the reviews still do not compare to the experience of this restaurant. Definitely coming back again and again as I will never be able to create this enjoyable evening anywhere else. Get your hands on the smoked white fish appetizer if you can! Photo shows it almost gone! ”
“ We visited at around 6pm for dinner on a Friday and the service was friendly and quick. My partner and I both got the Shepard’s Pie and it exceeded both our expectations! So flavourful and indulgent but the balsamic vinaigrette salad balanced it out perfectly. Really wish I had taken better photos of the plates, but overall 10/10 recommend if you’re stopping by Elora. Afterwards we were secretly thanking The Evelyn nearby for declining us due to full reservations, as we were able to have such a tasty meal. ”
“ Great service with engaging staff and fantastic environment. Great menu with interesting selections. The crispy brussels were to die for and the rest of the food was fantastic. Adjusted the Cajun Mac n’ cheese to fit our taste. Highly recommended. We’ll be back. ”
“ What a fantastic meal! We started at the bar for a few minutes while our table was being cleaned and ordered some cocktails. The bartender was really nice and the cocktails were divine (shoutout to the spiced pear martini - wow!). Standouts from dinner were the Brussels sprouts and the chicken brisket nachos! Service was excellent too! ”
“ Excellent food and friendly attentive service. We had the chicken wings which were top notch but the seared tuna bowl was amazing. Best tuna I have ever had. Seared to perfection yet tender and delicate on the inside. Yummm. Highly recommend. ”
“ We had an absolutely fantastic lunch at The Handsome Devil Bistro! Every dish was packed with flavour and beautifully prepared. We started with a delicious nacho platter, then enjoyed a perfectly cooked striploin steak frites and the special of the day—a shrimp and scallop pilaf that was simply outstanding. Chef Sean is truly talented, crafting decadent meals that showcase his skill and creativity. The quality, presentation, and flavours were all top-notch. We cannot recommend him and his restaurant enough! Handsome Devil Bistro is a must-visit, and we’ll definitely be back. ”
“ It was amazing experience from E2E (end to end). They don’t accept reservation so we walked in. The lady at the reception was very kind to take us to a table and after seconds we were reseated in a better location for family (sofa). Josh came to take our orders and was not a simple approach, he started asking if it was our first time in Elora, so he suggested nice places to visiting. After going over the menu with good recommendations he brought some samples to taste the beer. Long story short, the customer experience was very good, CSAT and NPS being high scored for this place. Highly recommended! ”
“ Loved the cozy vibes and warm food! Place was super popular and I can tell why! The smoked salmon cured in house was divine and the baked brie plate had so much flavour. Shepherds pie was just what I needed on a cold day. Excellent mocktails. Fantastic service! ”
