The truffle bison burger was out of this world! The meat just melts in your mouth. The bannock was a special touch. I love burgers but this one has topped the charts for me. Came in last Sat mid afternoon. It wasn’t busy.
Reviews / Ratings for Manitou Bistro
The Red Bell Pepper soup was rich and light at the same time. I had the Powwow Bowl, which was so good we went back the next evening so my husband could order it! I got the Wild Rice Tacos, vegan version, and they were to die for!
A lovely place. The decorations brung nature indoors and are great conversation starters. The cocktails were beautiful and had dried fruit garnishes - alot of thought and care went into planning them. The food selection is vast, so hard to choose just a few things to try. The honey banock appetizer was like a fresh doughnut on the outside and like grandma's homemade bread on the inside - amazing. Mains were well flavored. Wait staff was very nice.
Delicious meal, great service with vegan options!
Their food was amazing.I did not take a picture of the starter, but it was the walnut and fig baked brie, also fantastic. The the cocktails were phenomenal. I am going back for sure!
Amazing food! It was the first time I was there. Can't wait to go back and share the experience with my husband and friends.
We visited Bonnechere Caves a few months ago, and on our way back to Ottawa, we stopped at this restaurant for lunch. We were a group of four and started with the Succotash Bites. I ordered the Wild Rice Power Bowl, while others in the group had the roasted red pepper soup, chicken sandwich, and 3 sister stew. Everything we tried was flavorful and very well-prepared. It’s a very cozy spot to enjoy amazing food and spend quality time with friends and family.
Amazing service and food, we absolutely loved the decor as well
What a great experience! I love soup -they have a flight of soup ..oh yeah! 3 soups : Wild rice, Three sisters, Roasted red pepper. All three were delicious, the Three sister was my fave. Plus a buttery bannock on the side. All well balanced, perfectly seasoned and d-lishus! Sorry, snapshot was a little late.
Charming restaurant that offers indigenous cuisine. We loved our food and highly recommend this great place.
Had a fantastic 4 Course Valentines Dinner. The whole experience was perfect and the service was exceptional!

The food was incredible, very high quality and many options for gluten free! The service was wonderful as well, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good hearty food!
Unique experience with great food!
This place is Absolutely amazing. First time here but won’t be the last. The service was fantastic. Sierrra was friendly, welcoming and gave us advice on what to order (the menu is huge). I had the tacos (rice and bison) and they were probably the best tacos I’ve ever had. My friend had one of their signature dishes (a bison pie on bannock) and he loved it. They have a lot of GF, vegetarian and vegan options as well. I can’t have gluten and there was lots for me to choose from. They Even have a GF cornbread muffin which is hard time find. Everything was delish and the atmosphere is super fun as well. 10/10! Will be back ;)
Great experience all around. The dinner was delicious and reasonable pricing noted on the entire menu. On entering your establishment, we immediately felt welcomed 🙏 The service was exceptional, great decor and the acoustics perfect for dinning out. Looking forward to another delectable experience in the near future with you all. All the best in 2026 🙏😊
Great food and service! 🤍
The atmosphere is so calming, truly a place to unwind. Only came for drinks and it did not disappoint.
Fantastic place to eat like a king after a 10-2 win at the rink. Delicious Blueberry candy baguette, Annashinabe Pie and the Bison burger served on an out of this world bun. Tasty local beers and a Shirley Temple with popping boba to wash it down. Spectacular. Every customer was happy and well fed. Great service. Thanks so much.
had the 3 sister stew which was incredible. delicious food, great service and atmosphere. i'll be back.
Extensive, clever menu with generous portions. Excellent service, made us feel so welcomed and at home. A must go to and can’t wait to come back next time.
