"Delicious Food, Great Service, and Cozy Atmosphere!
French Creek Bistro Restaurant & Grill has quickly become one of my favourite spots in the area! The atmosphere is super welcoming—comfortable, casual, and perfect for everything from breakfast to lunch.
The food here is fantastic. I’ve tried a few different dishes and have been impressed every time. Their fish & chips are crispy, fresh, and perfectly cooked—definitely some of the best around. The Hunter Schnitzel is also amazing—tender, hearty, and packed with flavour, it’s such a satisfying meal.
I also love their breakfast options—everything is cooked just right, with generous portions that really hit the spot. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a relaxed morning meal or a hearty dinner and leave happy either way.
The service is just as great—the staff are always friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home.
If you’re looking for great food, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by French Creek Bistro. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Been in QB, for 11 years.
Wife was out of town sooo… I decided to check this place out.
I was more than impressed with everything, food, great, service great, even have a liquor license and 2 tap beers, one of which was pipers pale ale, which I like.
The owner is Bill, he is a great guy and the front end man, his wife is the cook, e has two boys that help out when they can.
Check it out, I’m sure you’ll love it!"
