"This is a double “MUST GO” bistro to visit. It’s in a very scenic environment with beautiful ambience very cozy setting and the food is really great. The service and staff are very friendly and warm and make you feel like old friends that are visiting. I cannot recommend this place enough."

"Lowville Bistro is one of our favourite “go to” restaurants. Robert is always welcoming and visible. The two servers are both lovely - engaging and attentive. The food never disappoints and the wine selection is great. The tailored menu allows for focus and excellence. The kitchen easily and pleasantly accommodated our friend’s special dietary request. The daily features are always excellent. And don’t forget dessert - we have enjoyed many different desserts. We love the cheesecake! We also love that they have wonderful decaf cappuccino.
Other things to enjoy: Sunday evenings offer local live music and the beautiful patio will be opening soon.
We can’t say enough great things about Lowville Bistro. Def worth a visit."

"When it comes to finding a bistro that serves both fish and chips and butter chicken, Lowville Bistro should not be overlooked. This cozy and welcoming restaurant may be small, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in flavor and quality.
First off, their fish and chips are an absolute must-try. The fish is always flaky, perfectly seasoned, and coated with the perfect amount of batter. And the chips? Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they are the ideal companion to the fish.
However, if you're in the mood for something a little more exotic, their butter chicken is also a standout dish. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the rich butter sauce has a perfect balance of spices that make each bite an explosion of flavors.
The atmosphere of Lowville Bistro is also quite lovely. With pleasant lighting and cozy seating, it's a great place to unwind and enjoy a nice meal. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of dishes served.
All in all, Lowville Bistro is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a bistro that serves both classic and Indian-inspired dishes. Their fish and chips are some of the best, and their butter chicken is not to be missed. If you are looking for a fantastic meal in a warm and inviting atmosphere, Lowville Bistro is the place to be. Highly recommended!"
