Elixir Bistro

We were looking for a restaurant open for lunch, and we passed by Elixir. The waitress welcomed us with a lunch menu and we decided to come in. The dining room is beautiful, with low volume jazz being played. The food was fantastic! We ordered duck confit for appetizer.....Very delicious. Our guests ordered curry shrimp and lasagna with a bechemel sauce, and I ordered Masala chicken with mushrooms and what tasted like a French sauce. So good! We finished with 4 Creme Brule and expresso. Our wonderful waitress came at just the right times. The meal and the conversation made this a special Birthday lunch for me.

We ate at Elixir Bistro for the first time last Saturday and the food was amazing! Wish I took some photos to share. We started with the Avocado Tartare, for mains I had the braised beef, which melted in my mouth and my partner has the duck which was very delicious! Service was a bit slow but we were not in a rush and really enjoyed the experience. Our server was also very lovely. Will go again when the menu changes!

Just had our anniversary dinner here and it was so lovely. The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere with the soft music in the background. I liked sitting at the window seat too. The smoked salmon starter was light and went well with the complimentary bread in olive oil. I had the filet mignon and it was super tender and well seasoned. The grilled veggies were perfect. My husband had the veal medallions and he enjoyed them as well. The portion sizes were pretty generous and I didn’t think anything was egregiously expensive. We finished the meal with the vanilla bean creme brulee which was so good. Overall I thought it was a really lovely place for a dinner and I will definitely be back.

First visit ... and OMG! Elixir was a very happy surprise. Nice location on Belmont, and lotsa parking around this resto. We received a friendly greeted and were quickly seated. Upon mentioning that we'd prefer a table further away from the entrance, we were quickly given a table at a much better location. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Menu and specials were explained in detail, and both drinks and food were perfectly served. As for the food ... it was flawless. Hats down to the chef, he runs his kitchen like a well oiled machine. there were no long waits, all food came out just on time. Our pre-dinner drinks (Cosmo and Manhattan) were about as good as we ever had in KW. So good in fact, that my wife had a second Cosmo! We had 3 starters because we just could not decide which two to choose. The steak tartar was utterly divine, the tenderloin was finely cubed/chopped, the seasoning was spot on, and the raw yolk was the perfect glue to bind it all. The escargots with mushroom were resting a most delicious sauce, and everything was just tender enough. The shared app was the foil gras ... simply divine. Go try it, I'm not wrong! My wife's main course was the beef bourguignon, and she swears it was one the best she ever had. I tasted it, and I must concur. I had the lamb chop special, and again ... protein perfection. I am sometimes wary of lamb meals, as many times in the past I have been burned ... either under or overcooked, or way too gamey in flavour. But not here. Tonight's lamb was amazingly tender, with no overpowering odour or flavour. I supremely enjoyed it. Dessert was a shared creme brulee, which we both enjoyed ... our only regret was that we could have eaten a double sized portion! Overall, our judgement ... one of the best restaurants in the region, easily in top 5 in our humble opinion. Do yourself a favour, and go check it out for yourself.

My husband, friend and I just returned home from Elixir Bistro. We had a fabulous meal. Our server Jennifer was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was exceptional. It was served hot and the flavours created with perfection

Thanks Jen who made us feel so welcome. The whole atmosphere felt warm and comfy. Portions were large (we had to take some home) and prices were very reasonable. The beef tartar was the highlight.

We were greeted on a quiet Thursday night by a very welcoming waitress, and offered our pick of seating for the evening. The atmosphere is high class, warm, and comfortable with a beautiful ambiance and nice music. The space is open, giving an airy feel, and as a customer, you always feel like you know what is happening in the kitchen and at the bar. We shared the scallop appetizer which was divine and the scallops were cooked PERFECTLY (this coming from a Maritimer). I had the steak frites, which is a variable cut; filet mignon which was thick and cooked to order. The “frites” were delightful new fingerling potatoes that were to die for. Great vegetables side including spicy beets. My wife had the lamb shank and mashed potatoes which were melt-in-your-mouth. One of the better braised lamb shanks I’ve enjoyed. We finished with the tiramisu which was excellent and the creme brulee, which was good. The wine selection was reasonable, I had a glass of their special wine which was a good value for a high quality and enjoyable Merlot. Overall an excellent night, at a price that is not cheap, but VERY fair and appropriate for the level of service and quality of the food and cooking. Would highly recommend for a special night out with a loved one. A French food.

Was looking for fine dining, and as someone who's been to many upscale restaurants. This one stood out with it's extremely friendly service, delicious and well priced food. A perfect place for a date night. Will be coming back.
