This cozy 26-seat contemporary bistro with sunny Main Street patio is owned and operated by SAIT-trained local chef Olivier Gouin who honed his culinary skills working with his father at Chez François. Olivier fuses fresh ingredients (including organic Alberta produce) and spices to create colourful, casual bistro cuisine (much of it prepared on the grill) with a French twist. Locals appreciate the taste and presentation of the appetizers, small plates, platters to share and generous main dishes. There is a fine selection of international beers, seasonal wine picks by the glass and popular ‘O’ sangria.
