Sauvignon Bistro & Bakery

Best restaurant in the Beaches! Duck confit and foie gras were amazing and excellent service.

Met with friends and had an early mid-week dinner. Loved the atmosphere, casual and laidback. Service was friendly and not over attentive...comfortable. The duck confit was a clear winner, one of the best I've had. Moist, flavourfull and just right. Finished the day with a good creme brule.Definitely will return!

One word... Delicious! Great place for great food, lovely vibe and an enjoyable meal. Started with Moroccan kebabs.. yum. Rack of Lamb with beans and parsnip mash. Salmon with a lemony risotto and finished with a strawberry shortcake dessert. Will definitely come back.

AtmosphereThe classic interior is cozy, with an exposed bar, hardwood flooring and an exposed ceiling. The patio was busy, and everyone really seemed to be enjoying themselves, I noticed a few tables having friendly interactions with each other. Overall the atmosphere is laid back and inviting.ServiceWe showed up a little before our actual reservation and were welcomed immediately to a table at the front on the front patio. The waitress Tracy was quick to welcome us and provide us with the menu and explain some great options for dinner, everything seemed fairly priced. What I loved most about the restaurant was that their didn’t seem to be any sort of pretentiousness, the servers were dressed nicely, but in their own style. The staff worked together, were quick to refill our wine, clear our plates and provide us with the feeling that we were being taken care of.The FoodThe appetizers we ordered were the Fried Calamari with Chilli Lime Aioli, and the Spicy Grilled Shrimp, Black Bean and Avocado Salad, tossed in a Citrus Papaya Dressing. The Calamari was fresh, not oily, which can sometimes happen. The Shrimp were large and juicy and the black bean avocado was fresh and light. It was a great start for a hungry guy like me. I had the Duck Confit, with mushroom risotto and spinach for myself, while my partner enjoyed the Pan-Seared Arctic Char, linguine in a pesto cream sauce with tomato and spinach. I was definitely not disappointed by the Duck Confit, the silkiness of the meat allowed it slid off right off the bone, the risotto was well done, the rice slightly al dente, and just the right amount of creaminess. The Arctic char was cooked to medium rare, flaking easily onto the fork, the skin was crispy and savoury. We did order a the Sautéed Garlic Greens as a side but I believe it was forgotten, which was probably for the best as the amount of food we did end up consuming was more than enough. Plus we needed to leave a bit of space for the desert. We shared the Dark Chocolate Marquise, with Raspberry Coulis & Chantilly Cream, which should be a sin. We also indulged in the Madagascar Vanilla Liqueur Creme Brûlée, with Candied Orange Peel and Ginger Snap Cookies. The flavours melded together quite well with the Creme Brûlée.

Very eclectic place, pricey but not bad. Not pictured but the creme brûlée was really good.

By far the worst service I have ever received at a restaurant. I am disgusted.The server ignored us for most of the time we were there. When we weren't being ignored, we were treated rudely - from the server dropping the menu (which we had to ask for after waiting at our table for 15 minutes) on the floor and leaving without picking it up for us, to dismissively waving off any attempts to get their attention so we could order food. We were treated like we didn't belong... not sure if it was because we were the only BIPOC group in the restaurant at the time. But regardless, I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Good food, the ambience is quite pleasant. Only wished there was a bit more ventilation on the patio on a hot day! Otherwise, decent sized portions

We had a take-out from the restaurant.The food was good, we didn’t order anything special (just chicken schnitzel and beef tourtiere), cause it was quite pricey as for a take out. But we enjoyed it, as a good homemade meal.Very friendly staff.We will come back to try the whole dine-in experience and some of the specials from the menu.
