Found this place doing some research into must visit restaurants & boy, did we choose well.

I messed up our reservation but they were able to accommodate us right away.

The food was oustanding.
The four of us shared the:
-soup du jour (which was a velvety leek & potato cream soup)
- beet salad
- scallop seviche
- mussels with white wine & garlic
- flank steak
- roasted chicken
- beef cheek (which was the best beef cheek I've ever had, so tender you could use a spoon!)
- I highly recommend ordering the tarte tatin for dessert (Chef Philippe Racine's version is amazing!)
- they treated us to some French coulous with dessert (we loved it so much we purchased 2 bottles to bring home!)

& our server Daevon was just a delight. & guided us through the menu.

We will definitely be back again.

Merci pour tout!

Came here every year during our day 1 to have a confident meal after a long hour drive. Served by Devon was exceptional as we were serve by him back in 2025 as well. Flank was prepared medium rare paired with Devon good recommendation bold France (Merlot & Malbec) red wine 🍷 didn't get to capture the name, seafood stew was rich & flavourful. Wash down with not too sweet taste like Apple strudel signature dessert prepared in their style. Scallop ceviche was fresh with tasty tuna tartare. Great meal to end the day with homemade Rum 🍹 . Thanks for the wonderful meal 🍽?

Very luckily we walked in & BSM found us a table upstairs. Florence was exceptional in helping us make some fine choices from the menu. Delightful! Following a French 75 & Negroni, we ate Onion Soup, Beef Cheeks & the Seafood Bisque accompanied by Florence's'spot-on' wine recommendation. As a final treat we took the Tarte Tatin, amazing! What a find! Thank you Florence!

Wonderful evening at Bistro St Malo, escargots for starter that was a bit different than the standard with a wonderful cheese melted on top. We opted for the'Heavenly Thursday' special & enjoyed Osso Bucco & a lovely rabbit dish served over a cheesy risotto. Along with a glass of excellent Bordeaux. Ended with a crème brûlée & a sparkling sweet wine with a lovely peach flavor. Our server was wonderful & we enjoyed everything, including the small dining room upstairs. Perfect evening. Thank you to the staff & owners of Bistro St Malo.

french onion soup was superb. ceviche was not to our taste but wasn't bad. duck confit & the seafood stew were pretty good too. huge selection of wine. my only complaint would be the creme brulee was too sweet, custard too watery, & the caramel layer was too thick. otherwise everything was wonderful. the service was a delight!

Had the mussels, they were tiny but fresh & the garlic wine sauce was simple & decent enough due to the good taste of the mussels. The beef cheek meal for $44+tax was super expensive & had a strong gamey taste, it sat beside a very salty concoction of mash potato sauce & broiled carrot & 3 green beans. It was very soft(being cooked for 30 hrs) but in my opinion, it was not a hit with me. A side of salad ,a very small bowl, with 7 tiny pieces of lettuce & some slices of pickles & carrot slivers costed $12 plus tax..not anywhere near a proper salad...a convenience store type would have been much better. There was absence of dressing...tasted like the pickle water.

Restaurant is really cute & cozy. The food was good & felt homestyle with fresh ingredients. $30 Thursday promo was great (main plus wine/beer for $30). We felt it would have been nice to have bread at the table to start, & also to have with our mains. I ordered Ossobucco which was good but very soupy. Again the bread would have been a nice addition. My wife ordered Phil's Carbonara which was delicious. It had lots of peameal bacon. All food was portioned well, we struggled to finish it all.

The food was done very well, with mussels, beef tongue, seafood, dessert & the place has a friendly vibe...unfortunately I was served a fridge cold glass of red wine & cannot give it a 5 in good conscience. While it is common in the industry to preserve open wine in the fridge overnight, to serve it this cold is a fauxpas. It should have been brought much closer to room temperature before being offered or served. When I mentioned it, I was offered an apology. I suggest you ask about the wine's temperature before ordering, that being said, they have a very good wine list.

One of our best meals for a good while. Mrs H loves a good mussel, & these apparently were right up there with the best she's had. The beef cheek was magnificent, accompanied by a splendid Bordeaux, one of many wines in an extensive & impressive wine list.

This place is perfect. The french soup was the best my wife & I ever had. We were treated so well by our waiter who brought us some maple syrup to try at the end of our dinner (as well as dessert wine). The food was phenomenal. The atmosphere was cozy. We cannot wait to come back.
