We have gone to this place a couple of times and are never disappointed with the staff or the food. Do not get me started on the food that is perfectly prepared by the chief he prepares it just right and spot on and his wife is the prefect hostess that complements the chief and the rest of the staff that all works hard to make your evening to remember. With this hard times of Covid-19 be patient they will look after you

One of my favourite restaurants In Qualicum meals are always perfect, full of flavour and done how you like it. Service is amazing, staff remembers what you like and attentive, fun and knowledgeable with their wines. Lately starting to cut vegetables in half and specials not filling “watching” don’t know if they changed portion size ? or just had a few off months..

Just had Valentine's dinner, set menu which I have no issue with, I have been more or less 6 times over the years I save the experience for special occasions. Service was good we had a 4:30 reservation because I was late in calling in, the appy was great, crab and shrimp cake, main course was filet mignon for my partner and I had rack of lamb... thecfood was tepid at best, the filet was tough enough that it could hardly be cut with a steak knife. It was sent back for re-heat, frankly other than the plate didn't help much. Desert was wonderful, but unfortunately we wont be back.

I decided to order take out from Bistro 694 after a busy day. We had a feast of crab cakes, curried prawns with rice and chicken breast with Gorgonzola sauce with vegs. To top things off we had their delicious carrot cake.
When picking up our meal, I was super impressed with all the measures they implemented due to COVID-19. I would not hesitate to dine in next time, and thank Bistro 694 for their efforts.

This was probably one of our favourite restaurants in Qualicum. he only hold back was the roasted potatoes that are these tasteless, shrivelled pieces of nothing. The rest of the dinner was generally superb, however one of our party ordered pasta. The sauce tasted like flour, unlike any pasta sauce we've had. We were terribly disappointed.

Very small and intimate setting. You would do best to have a reservation as o have never gotten in when I've just shown up. Only open Thursday to Sunday 4 to 9 ISH. They have a lovely wine selection and their food is prepared from scratch from local ingredients. The waiter was very intuitive and visited the table at exactly the right times. I had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back again.

Had dinner tonight with the family. I started with the scallops. My only issue with these was there was a little too much different flavours which tended to drown out the hero. Main course was the fish special, Arctic Char. Very nicely done. Best of all were the desserts: chocolate torte and carrot cake. Out of this world.

Such a hidden gem. From the drinks to the dessert, it was the first time I had gone out and every item was exceptional. Had the craft beer IPA, crab cakes, butter chicken. Amazing little place and food was superb, very fresh ingredients. A bit on the pricey side but definitely don't miss for special occasions!

Couldn't say a bad thing about this place if I tried. Beautiful restaurant with a friendly down to earth staff. We started with the scallops which were a hit. Moved on to the seafood crepe and steelhead special. Wow highly recommend. Creme brulee for dessert. Would visit the island again for that dessert alone. Came to just over $100 with a bottle of wine. The chef came out and talked to the guests. If you're on the island you would be making a mistake if you didn't stop here. Will be back and that says a lot considering we are from Calgary

We only get to Qualicum Beach one month a year but manage to eat here 4 or 5 times. We have had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. The vegetables are cooked to perfection, and the sauces are fabulous. Soups are fresh and seasonal. Eating here is a real treat and this family run bistro shouldn't be missed. Be sure to make a reservation for this small elegant restaurant.

My family and I were looking for a good local place to have a nice dinner with our mother. We hit the right spot. I had always seen this restaurant but it never used to be open for dinner. Now with new owners as of July 2011 it is open 5 days a week for lunch and dinner. The food included locally sourced products and included a nice variety of choices. For starters we had the crab cakes, bruschetta and scallops - perfect! I had the special and it was very good with a nice sized portion. For dessert I had the chocolate bread pudding - like nothing I had ever had - by far the best choice at
