We were looking for a French restaurant that would evoke memories of our time in France and this met all our expectations. Our host from Nice talked with us periodically, sharing reflections on "la belle vie" in France and the extraordinary cuisine in the village of Mougins. The atmosphere was lovely and the food had that renowned French attention to careful process and detail. The escargot entree with grapes, strawberries and balsamic sauce was a unique and tasteful blend. The Coquilles St. Jacques were perfectly cooked with a tarragon sauce that evoked memories of high quality Parisien restaurants. The duck confit was tender, tasty and beautifully presented. And of course the Bourdeaux wine was dry and perfect. Only disappointment was missing the Boeuf Bourguignon and our host advised that we call 2-3 days in advance next time. Great advice, we will be back! A bientot!

Just had our anniversary dinner here and it was so lovely. The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere with the soft music in the background. I liked sitting at the window seat too. The smoked salmon starter was light and went well with the complimentary bread in olive oil. I had the filet mignon and it was super tender and well seasoned. The grilled veggies were perfect. My husband had the veal medallions and he enjoyed them as well. The portion sizes were pretty generous and I didn’t think anything was egregiously expensive. We finished the meal with the vanilla bean creme brûlée which was so good. Overall I thought it was a really lovely place for a dinner and I will definitely be back.

One of the best French restaurants I’ve visited. The chef uses unique ingredients like Okra in various dishes. Most of the dish I’ve tried has been amazing - especially the lamb, and mashed potatoes with parsnips. Love the lemon raspberry cake, so delicious. The mashed potatoes were a little heavy though.

I got a gift card from my sister as she has always raved about this place. We finally went for dinner, I had the duck and it was amazing. We instantly regretted so long waiting to visit Elixir Bistro. Definitely a hidden gem in Cambridge!

No doubt this was one of the best dining experiences I've had. The food was delicious! I ordered the lamb shank and it literally fell off the bone, cooked to perfection. Beautiful little bistro with a very welcoming feel. Service was amazing. I will definitely be returning!

Had the tenderloin at Elixir yesterday for dinner and it was absolutely perfect. It was so tender, flavorful and beautifully presented on a bed of mashed potatoes, topped with a delicious mushroom sauce and accompanied with asparagus and carrots. It was the best dinner I've had this year! The service and staffed are also incredible and welcoming. This is my new go to spot when I'm in town!

If you haven't eaten here yet - you are missing out big time. Solo chef and a fresh menu every week. The food is beyond phenomenal, always flavorful and hot! I love that there is something new every week to try. The prices are great too. The patio is small and cute for the summer, and inside is beautiful. 14/10 highly recommend. The staff are also amazing.

We were a group that tried almost one of everything on the menu. Escargot, Caesar Salad, Lamb, Duck, Coq au vin, Scallops, a beautiful French wine and to finish Creme Brulee, Coffee and Cognac. It was all so good. The flavours were out of this world. And the service couldn't be better. I wish I remembered the name of the lady that served us. She was very well informed and very attentive. Our compliments to the chef for some amazing food.

Ordered a steak medium rare and it came well done. The server never bothered to check on our meal after it was brought to the table. Not the quality or service you would expect from a restaurant that charges these prices.

Loved the restaurant! We had the escargot as appetizer, which was delicious. The veal wasn’t quite to our liking, just a little over cooked. But the beef tenderloin was incredible!!

We really enjoy our time in the restaurant, nice decoration, smooth and relaxing jazz background music, the most important is the food, the owner uses the best quality ingredients to create the dishes. Job well done! Service is amazing as well. The owner is super friendly and care about their customers. Thank you so much for the Lemon Thyme :)

I have eaten here a couple of times over the past few weeks - once for lunch and once for dinner. The menu is not large, but the food and flavours are just wonderful. The depth of flavour and quality of ingredients in all of the dishes have been superb. The service has been attentive but unobtrusive. My dining partners have also enjoyed their meals in both cases. Highly recommend.

Stopped in today (Oct 4) unexpectedly for lunch while in the area for a medical appointment. Our server was fantastic in recommending a slightly modified meal that suited my lunch companion's specific dietary needs, post-surgery. Both of our meals were delivered promptly and were absolutely delicious! The house-made salad dressing is really good! The Chef here obviously cares a great deal about presentation and quality of food. I'd definitely visit again - the dinner menu looks great! I'll bring my husband next time for the lamb. 😊

Food portions and flavour stood out the most for me . Little romantic spot great for any if life's celebrations.

Exceptional is the simplest terms, my words could not do justice to the Service, presentation, flavours, and portion size all were spectacular. Can’t wait to go back

Great service. Superb ambience. Amazing cuisine. I had the scallops which were absolutely delicious. My husband had the duck which was also amazing. Generous portions that are not often served in a French Bistro. So pleased that they are now only minutes away from us in Belmont Village. Looking forward to returning soon.

Outstanding French dining experience. We had a wonderful dinner starting with escargot, shrimp and smoked salmon. The scallop dish and the sauce was perfection. Duck confit was another hit. Can’t wait to return to this new restaurant.

This place was an absolute treat, to go to. The wait staff was extremely kind and attentive (thank you so much Pierre), the ambiance was warm and welcome, and last but certainly not least, the food; My goodness the food is divine. I never really knew what melt in your mouth meat was until I tried it at this restaurant. I can not wait to come back here again, this place is constantly on my mind, and I'm always looking to recommend it to friends so that I can eat here again. Thank you so much for such a lovely and wonderful experience.

OUI OUI! This French bistro is a welcome addition to Belmont Village for certain. The pictures won't do it justice. A little pricey, but portions are good and food is delicious. I split the Veal and Beef Bourguignon with my partner.

This place and the food is underrated! We aim to try out a new restaurant in KW area every Friday, and this pace did not disappoint us! For a bistro, the portion is BIG (in a good way), and the food quality is top tier! I ordered the braised lamb shank. First of all, I don’t think I can find any bistro in KW that priced lamb shank at $24 (please don’t change your price) but still with such quality! When they say the meat “falls off the bone”, they mean it! You didn’t even need to use your knife but the meat falls of the literal bone with a couple of pokes using your folk! The chefs also so thoughtful and cut the bone into smaller pieces so it’s easier for you to get the meat. The mash potato is 🤯, so creamy and infused in the sauce that’s mixed by tomato and lamb jus! My mouth is watering just thinking about it again! We will definitely come back to this place to try out the other dishes on the menu! Keep it up!

Decided to try something new for our 11th Wedding Anniversary and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and we will definitely be returning. Something to note the food did take longer to come to our table than we are used to at chain restaurants but the food made up for that a 100 times over.

We used to go when they were in Cambridge, and the new Kitchener location did not disappoint. The duck confut was succulent, the filet mignon melted in your mouth, and everything was spot on delicious. It was reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber. Highly recommend.

Delighted to see Elixir join the Belmont Village, and we just had a fantastic meal. On point as ever, Chef Pirooz and team afforded us a superb evening of food and drink. Best escargot in the city, and my most generous helping of beef cheeks was divine. Capped the night with Strawberry cheesecake, a sublime finish. One of the best restaurants in KW, so glad to have this talented team in the neighborhood!

Food was amazing, service was something to be desired. 35 min before we saw a menu, another 25 before someone came for our order, and another 30 min before someone told us they ran out of our order. First time here, definitely willing to believe this was an off night: Valentine's with set menu and staff of 3-4. Otherwise, great atmosphere, and really, the food was very good.
