Bonnechere Bakery and Bistro Fine Food

Excellent food, limited selection but everything was fantastic! I'll be back, soon! The quality was much higher grade than I usually find in Ontario. A shame the hours are short, dinner here would be fantastic.

Terrific space. Bright, airy, rustic and with tons of potential for a proper Bistro. See, as it is, the Bonnechere Bakery and Bistro (BB&B for short) is really not a proper Bistro with its limited 11-4 hours, offering essentially not much more than soups, sandwiches and salads with no wine or beer on offer. I’d call this a really good Tea Room but definitely not a Bistro. Mind you, the food and service where excellent. Tasty soups and top notch sandwiches on terrific bread (I liked the bread so much I bought a loaf … not cheap at $5.35 but well worth it). The ladies looking after us where fast, efficient and most pleasant. Nice to see.Renfrew’s restaurant scene is anemic and seriously behind other towns in the area (think Almonte, Carleton Place - even Arnprior now). It’s dying for a proper Bistro/Cafe-like place that’s open for lunch and dinner with good wines and craft beer with a good selection of satisfying Bistro fare. I don’t know the owners’ plan for the “BB&B” but I think they’d do really well expanding to make this a true Bistro. I’m convinced Renfrew can, and would, support it.

The place is very spacious. The tables are very separate. It is, at the same time, a food store, an object store for the kitchen and a restaurant. The toilets are immaculate.It seemed to me that I knew all my life the ladies who attended the place (I had never seen them, I live several thousand kilometers). Everything is familiar: the deal, the food, the place.Good for them.

Perfect for a leisurely lunch. Drawback-no reservations. Varied home cooked menu plus gluten free options.

Doesn't just look good, everything tastes like it was freshly made for you! I will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in town... amazing!
