The Chef's Kitchen

In developing menus for Bistro 990, we've attempted to combine the hearty, simple, and flavourful style of true bistro cooking. An increased demand in healthy and nutritious cuisine has necessitated that all foods be cooked to order, using fresh ingredients in an uncomplicated and uncompromising way.

The bistro menus are upscale versions of refined French country dishes. They are diverse and ambitious, reflecting the sophistication of a "big-city bistro". Ingredients from various ethnic markets inspire daily specials.

We believe in using additive free meat and poultry. Our stocks and bread are made in house. As much as possible, we supplement our produce with organic fruits and vegetables supplied by local growers. Traditional thickening agents like flour and starch have been replaced by pure fruit juice reductions, meat stocks, yogurt based sauces, and oil & vinaigrettes.

Influenced by modern global cooking and the changing seasons, we strive to create flavourful foods that reflect the spirit of a classic French bistro.

Bon Appetit!
