Like an oasis alternative in a town dominated with Asian restaurants, Bluestone Bistro does not disappoint
A little hard to find, in a strip mall with an obscure sign next to M&M Meat Shop... this gem was recommended by someone on Yelp Toronto... if I had one night to eat in Markham... what would you recommend?
Service was stellar, wine list was delightfully robust, and I opted to do share stuff (dinner of 2 things off the share list)... Beef Carpaccio and Portabello Mushroom were were both superb. I felt the need to shamelessly take all leftover bread and sop up the sauce from both of these... lest I cut off the waiter's arm when he tried to take the "saucy" plate. My entree: the Goat Cheese poached pear salad... divine.
The wine list was a little misleading for the illiterate (me)... thought it was 24 for a bottle (turned out that was a 1/2 bottle). My bad (2 bottles later).
All in all it was a nice meal in a surprising place.
