Neighbourhood bistro

The Bean Bar is a local – great place to have a tasty lunch that’s three steps up from the franchises in the neighbourhood.  Reasonable prices.  For some, a hangout for a coffee and pastry or a drink or two with friends at the bar.  Bean Bar has tried to capture all bases and does a pretty good job of it!I always enjoy an individual pizza and accompanying salad at lunch.  If you’re really hungry have a steak sandwich.  Pasta are pretty good although are overcooked on occasion for my ‘al dente’ taste.Pastries were, at time of last visit, imported from Toronto.  They’re good and usually daily fresh’and are showcased in centre of room.Service can vary as staff are composed of some amateur student staff.  I’ve never encountered any ‘attitude’ problems but some patrons have complained about such.  Good reliable neighbourhood ‘bistro’ with no real surprises for the diner but a congenial place to dine and drink with your friends and colleagues.  Worth a visit to be sure!

Dishes I tried:

Veg pizza

Crispy crust and ample toppings of spinach, feta – my fave. Salad is always fresh and a usual side with pizza.

Steak sandwich on bun with au jus

Hearty serving of beef. Usually can have it served to your liking of doneness. Fresh bun and pleasant au jus moistening. Filling lunch or light dinner.

Pastas

I’ve found the pastas here disappointing. Noodles overcooked and sauces uninspired. Good pasta should taste good and its sauce should not drown pasta but be just enough to incorporate with noodles. Italian idea of pasta is not that of most North American diners.
