Bistro Union never disappoints, but today’s lunch was my best experience yet! Dining with my wife, a friend, and one of my sons, we were once again blown away by the quality and variety of the menu. The ingredients are second to none, and the duck breast—truly one of the best I’ve ever tasted. This restaurant is a jewel in the crown of Abbeville Road. The food, service, and ambiance are consistently exceptional, making it a reliable choice every time. Thoroughly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Fantastic experience at The Lowdown. Thank you to the staff who made it a really fun and entertaining brunch. We didn't catch the name of the guy serving us but he was hilarious and took really good care of me and my friends. The food was delicious - really fresh produce was clearly used as it was so flavourful, and we appreciate you accomodating our request for mimosas which were not on the menu! We will definitely be recommending this place and we will be back!
