Had an absolutely AMAZING dinner at The Black Bear Bistro in Algonquin!

If you are looking for an absolutely delightful eating experience this place is for you! A little pricey some might say but not for the uniqueness of the food you are being served! You can tell the chef not only is passionate about his food but they use the best and freshest ingredients as well! Everyone is super friendly and goes out of their way to give you a great dining experience. The unique options in the menu are the best part! We will be back!

Beautiful cozy hidden gem in the city. Delicious and yummy food. Presentation is gorgeous. Vegetarian options available too and the chef even made the custom dish on the request. Highly recommend if you are looking to try something unique.

Incredibly well-cooked and perfectly seasoned meat. We tried the flank steak, pork belly, and bison tacos and found them all fantastic.
