About Bistro Grenier

Perched above the King Street bustle, this intimate mezzanine bistro pairs dark wood and white tablecloths with classic French cooking. Diners come for date nights and slow evenings over hand-cut steak tartare, steak frites, and glasses of Chablis poured by an attentive team. Come Sunday, the kitchen shifts gears for a proper roast—generous plates of roasted pork or chicken accompanied by crisp vegetables and brimming gravy boats. Diners round out the meal with warm maple pudding baked to order.

  • Mezzanine Loft Setting: Tucked upstairs with dark wood tables, crisp linens, and calm seclusion from the lively street below.
  • Sunday Roast Special: Hearty weekend platters of roasted chicken or pork served alongside seasonal vegetables and generous gravy boats.
  • Classic Bistro Cooking: Faithfully prepared French staples, from steak tartare to steak frites and fresh oysters paired with curated wines.

Why Dine at Bistro Grenier

Why diners choose Bistro Grenier for intimate celebrations, classic French fare, and Sunday roasts

  • Mezzanine Loft Setting

    The elevated mezzanine loft combines dark timber and white tablecloths, setting a refined stage overlooking the lively bar below.

    The dark wood and white tablecloths creates a laidback elegance and peacefulness in the restaurant, but as it overlooks the bar area, it also captures a sense of exciting anticipation.

  • Finely Executed French Bistro Classics

    Bistro standards are executed with classical precision, featuring house favorites like hand-cut steak tartare and steak frites.

    The standout dishes were the beef tartare and the steak frites. Both were beautifully prepared and full of flavour.
