Bistro 22 is a hidden gem right off the island of Montreal where owners Mike & Christina have truly curated the most elegant yet cozy night's shade of dark blue. With an immaculate start, the zippy espresso martini & tart amaretto sour were handcrafted to perfection. The menu offered a plethora of options for just about everyone's taste including a delectable trio of tartares, ambrosial escargot, succulent fried calamari, & bavette topped with a vibrant, herbaceous chimichurri. Every detail of the main dish was exquisite right down to the loaded baked potato & roasted veggies. The desserts did not disappoint either, as the pecan pie was nostalgic & decadent, the carrot cake airy & moist as well as the chocolate cake which embodied the luscious & rich notes of the classic. Highly recommend for a special night out, this bistro serves simply delicious dishes while providing friendly & insanely efficient service.
Great ambience, amazing food, & outstanding service. I had an error in my reservation & MIKE the owner, jumped in in matter of seconds to arrange it all to make it a perfect evening. Thank you, MIKE & team, keep up the good work as we will definitely be back soon!
Highly recommend Bistro 22 for your next evening out or even a private event! Mike & Christina have crafted a little gem in Saint Lazare. Great food & wonderful service.
What a great venue for a nice night out in our town. Even the power failure made the evening that much more cozy. Looking forward to bringing our "out of town" friends. When your chef figures out how to make Blackened Salmon, we have an important person we want to bring over to your place !
Shockingly good food at a great price & with nice (quick) service. Rather unexpected for an "off the highway" bistro, but I'm really glad we ate here & will DEFINITELY be back.
The food here is outstanding, & the atmosphere is warm & inviting. The owners, Mike & Christina, are incredibly welcoming & truly involved in making sure every guest has a great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal with a personal touch

5 star very well deserved in every aspect the calamari is the best in town & the best I've ever tried. This is a must try for anyone wanting to try a new place. Keep up the excellent work, & my compliments to the chefs.
We went on a wonderful date night this past Saturday & the dynamic was just astounding. The service was wonderful the food was even better & the atmosphere was classy but also family acceptable, which is hard to come by from nice restaurants. Prices are super affordable & every bite is worth every dollar. Highly recommend this wonderful new & upcoming restaurant! It was an amazing first & will NOT be the last. Great job guys. Thank you for the amazing experience.
Food & service were excellent. An area to improve would be the acoustics of the restaurant. It was a busy night but was extremely loud & difficult to hear conversation. Some sound dampening would help to fix this. Otherwise a great experience
Simple dishes cooked with great ingredients & a delicious taste of quality "homemade". Cozy atmosphere & great selection of drinks. The chicken cutlet sandwich is the best I've ever had. Their kids menu offers great value for your little ones. A definite must in the area

This restaurant in Saint-Lazare is fantastic. The food is fresh, & the service is impeccable, with both owners actively involved & present on the floor, which is a rarity in today's dining scene. I tried the Fettuccine Gigi & the Chicken Cutlet, both of which were bursting with fresh, unique flavours & served at the perfect temperature. I highly recommend this hidden gem in Saint-Lazare to anyone seeking excellent service, delicious food, & the convenience of a local spot without the need to venture into the city. As a bonus, they have a full bar & a fantastic selection of desserts, including a deep-fried Mars bar.
I'm a very picky eater when it comes to restaurants, but the food here is fantastic , I've been three times today I tried the wings, let's just say anytime I want wings I'm going here, First visit was the steak frit, have it with the peppercorn sauce, second time was the steak sandwich, thank me later. Nice presentation, service with a smile great place !!!
