Bistro Araucaria

Everything about this place is just immaculate! Been living in Mile End for two years and was surprised not to discover this place. The menu changes frequently, really good quality and flavourful options, the place is so pretty and the vibe is so chill and cozy 👌. The owner is a really welcoming and warm person, enriching the experience even more☺️, its places like this that make mile end, mile end! Highly recommended!

Amazing dinner. Did not take pictures but will in the future. We began our meal with a delicious bean and potato arugula salad which melted in your mouth. This was followed by a very tasty pasta stuffed with eggs with tomato sauce and cheese. My companion had the grilled octopus and rapini bruschetta while I had the curried leg of lamb with buckwheat polenta and sautéed mushrooms. We coupled this meal with an Italian orange wine and ended with a chocolate mouse cake and panna cotta which we shared. All was amazing and the service is not rushed between courses. We are definitely looking forward to our next visit.

WoW! An incredible first experience at Barcola! We had the Wednesday set menu and felt it was amazing value and quality. Each course was spectacular in its own way but the pasta at the end was to die for with the most delicious tomato sauce (I’ve never had tomato sauce so flavourful). They also accommodated my vegetarianism which I very much appreciated. We also ordered the chocolate cake at the end and could not have been happier with the taste and texture. Everything was freshly made on the spot and in record time. Not to mention, the ambiance is worth going for on its own. The records played were well selected and created a real cozy and classic environment. The couple who run the restaurant were so kind. We had a lovely discussion with Danielle and felt we had a really personalized experience. I definitely plan to return and would highly, highly recommend!!

First time to this lovely bistro. The first impression when I walked in the place was wow. It's so beautifully decorated and all the vinyl was impressive (they sell them too). We sat on the terrace. Their menu, a 3 course meal, is pretty limited with only a choice of beef or salmon. However, they change the menu weekly! The first course was Prosciutto with cheese mousse and spinach. The second course was linguine and cherry tomatoes. The last course was either the steak or the salmon. The dessert is not included in the 3 course meal but I had the panna cotta. One word for our meal : excellent! Everything was so flavorful, almost like a punch, and well balanced. My favourite was the prosciutto dish. It was original and so well thought. It's a small and cozy restaurant with warm staff. You'll not be disappointed.
