Delicious food! Really enjoyed the burrata & seafood pasta. The duck confit pasta was delicious too, made with an orange sauce I'd never had before. Very charming interior & great atmosphere for a gathering with friends & family. Joly was our server & she was a delight, attentive & so helpful & friendly - she made our night!

The flavors were insane!! We ordered the braised duck, beef cheek, & the chicken & shrimp pasta - every single dish had its own thing going on. The way they used spices was just on point, & everything paired so well together with so much depth. We just finished lunch & we're already planning to come back for dinner!

I highly recommend this place. I had the Sus-vide Duck. Our server, Lea is an angel. She was very helpful, accomodated all our requests & shared a lot of insights about the city & culture without impeding her speed & service. Her manager should be so proud of her. Wish all restaurants had such pleasant personalities. We will be back soon for more!!!

As Close to Perfection as Food Gets

We ate at Bistro 1640 & I'm honestly overwhelmed with how good this was. I struggle to even express it.

We kept asking each other,'how is it this good?'

This is probably in my top 5 meals I've ever had.

The beef was the most tender & complex flavored meat I can remember having.

My wife said the duck was shockingly good. Her face said more than words, but she said it was flavorful perfection.

We've only had poutine twice, but this will set the standard going forward.

Oh- make a reservation!

Had dinner at 1640 Bistro & loved it! The duck leg with pasta was fragrant & delicious, the steak tartare was great, & the pizza-highly recommended by the staff-was amazing. The crust was flavorful & chewy, really stood out. Definitely a must-try if you're in town!
