"Visit hungry
You will not be disappointed!!
Comfort food at its finest, borscht was one of the best I have had and holy moly that schnitzel!
Service is always warm and welcoming, perfect way to flatten yourself up to get through these crazy -40 degree C winters"

"Food and service were really good. The food portion is soo big that it was enough for us for 2 meals. I would actually prefer if they gave the option to order 1/2 size for less price. The chicken paprika was a pleasant surprise, it was tender and juicy and the sauce was delicious."

"I recently tried Danish cuisine for the first time, and it was a memorable experience. The pork schnitzel had was perfectly crisp yet tender, a simple dish done exception ally well. The ambiance was inviting, and my server's thoughtful recommendations added a personal touch to the meal. It was a quiet yet satisfying introduction to Danish flavors, leaving me curious to explore more."

Having opened in 1976, Bistro Dansk is the oldest location amongst the hip restaurant scene on Sherbrook Avenue. This small, yellow diner has huge portions, excellent schnitzel and sweet and sour cabbage, and other great dishes like herring in sour cream sauce on rye.
