Solid food and quite reasonably priced. Nightly fixed price menu is especially good value.

A few small misses in the prep (parsnip puree under the lamb was quite cold, arctic char slightly overcooked) but in general the dishes were very well done. The black linguine with tiger shrimp was especially great.

Love that it’s a family owned business and we’ll definitely be back.

We celebrated my birthday as a family at this David’s bistro, and it was wonderful!
The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a special occasion. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service was attentive and friendly. It truly felt like a warm family celebration. Highly recommend this place for anyone.

David Bistro exudes the charm of a classic French bistro with its nostalgic ambiance and old-fashioned style. The staff were incredibly kind and courteous, taking our coats upon arrival and frequently checking to ensure we had everything we needed—an impressive level of attentiveness.
The meal started on a high note. We were first served bread and butter, followed by the special appetizer of the day, which was absolutely delicious. However, the main course was disappointing. It took a long time to arrive, and despite its appealing presentation, the taste didn’t meet expectations. The steak was too thin, dry, and tasted like frozen meat, while the duck had an unexpectedly chicken-like flavor. On the bright side, the custom-made drink—which wasn’t on the menu—was a pleasant surprise with its great taste. Additionally, the prices were quite high for the quality of the food, and I expected much better quality for the price. It’s also worth mentioning that you should make a reservation in advance, as the restaurant can get quite busy.
Overall, David Bistro excels in ambiance, service, and appetizers, but the main courses and pricing did not live up to the standard expected from a quality French bistro.

Had a birthday to celebrate and decided on a downtown fav that we hadn’t been to in years. When were last there, the menu was only on the wall and it changed with seasons, if not daily. I was impressed with the menu and they offered a Price Fixe menu with 2 or three items with a reasonable price of 40 or 50 bucks. I started with a bourbon old fashioned that was different and delicious and my bride had a cosmopolitan. Appys were excellent, including the special black pasta and shrimp and my warm salad that was excellent.
My bride had the scallops, that she does everytime and was happy. I had the steak and was slightly disappointed with the cold unseasoned veg but the steak was exactly as ordered and yummy.
My daughter had the cod and loved every ounce including the polenta. Dessert was the sticky toffee pudding and creme caramel and both were excellent.
Place was very busy and parking is tough unless you get a spot right out front. Most street parking is 2 hours free until 6pm then free after that, so you’re good, just drop off and find a spot.

A hidden gem in the heart of London, Ontario. Once you push the doors of David’s Bistro, you’re in a different world, you leave the dirty and unsafe streets of London and you enter a very cozy and comfortable space, it feels like you’re in a Parisian bistro.
Food is delicious, they have daily specials that are wonderful. Very elaborate plates, great balance in flavours and textures.
Very nice wine menu as well. Great selection of European wines but not only.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Will definitely go back.

We had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing, showcasing the best of classic French cuisine and the atmosphere had a New York City vibe.

The service was perfectly timed – just the right amount of attention to make us feel valued. Our server was very knowledgeable, made us nice classic cocktails, and they had a great wine list.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and a charming dining experience.

David’s Bistro is the real deal. Easily top 3 restaurants in London for fine dining. We came here for Valentine’s Day dinner and were absolutely floored by the quality of the food. We got the mushroom toast to start, followed by the scallops and chicken mains, and ending off with the sticky toffee pudding. Everything was well seasoned, excellently flavoured, and simply mind-blowing quality. The mushroom toast was hearty, umami-rich, and the crunch of the toast provided good textural contrast. The scallops (with the vegetable medley) was very well seasoned, and the flavour of the vegetables was well highlighted by the brown butter sauce. The crispy roasted chicken, which came with a double smoked bacon mushroom whiskey sauce, had an excellent harmony of flavours. The dessert was simply divine, with the home-made bourbon ice cream enhancing the dark richness of the toffee pudding.

5/5, would return again.

I ordered the crème brûlée as a Christmas gift and was so impressed with both the service and the quality. Despite the holiday rush, they were incredibly kind and made the effort to deliver, which was truly appreciated.

The feedback on the crème brûlée was excellent — one of the best they’ve had. Thank you for your outstanding service, kindness, and attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience being served by David himself. Very personable & informative. 100% trust in him to choose my meal for me and it did not disappoint. The duck confit was yum after every single bite. Lyonnaise Salad was delightful as well. Also if you like a Manhattan cocktail – they make a mean one!! I recommend!!

I had an incredible experience dining here at Davids bistro. The service was great, and the food was delicious.
It was apparent that the chef takes presentation and quality of his food very seriously, as each meal came out looking great and tasting even better.
Highly recommend checking this place out!
