| - This bistro is a gem along Lakeshore in Port Credit. While there are tons of restaurants in the area, this place is definitely worth a stop...or two.
The restaurant is cozy, it sits about 30 so if you're bringing a large group, reservations are a must. On our first visit today, we were seated by the kitchen. Looking in, I was surprised to see only one chef. I expected a long wait for our meals, but our food came out promptly and both dishes pipping hot.
Once we were seated and our drinks ordered, a loaf of warm bread was brought to our table. Sprinkled with rosemary and olive oil, I knew I was in trouble the moment I had my first bite of bread. Delicious!
For our mains, my fiancé ordered the blackened Atlantic salmon served with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. His meal was delicious, the salmon was moist and flakey with a caper and tomato topping, and the buttery olive oil reduction was so-so good! I may have commandeered his dish...
I ordered the penne alla port 229 it was cooked with chorizo, shrimp, and mushrooms in a vodka tomato cream sauce. This dish was equally impressive, the vodka tomato cream sauce and garlic combination is so tasty, add in spicy chorizo and oh my goodness. I rarely ever finish my own meal, I have a wedding dress to fit into next year, but the food was just too good to stop eating.
All in all, this restaurant is a solid 5 stars. Gentlemen, hear me out: this is an excellent date restaurant that is sure to impress. There, don't say I never tried to help...
