Reviews for RUSTIQUE in Bowen Island, BC
They had good outdoor seating. The food was tasty but it took quite a while to come out even though it wasn't too busy yet. We... didn't mind too much though since we were on vacation. Servers were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Read more
I think people pass this pretty French bistro on the way to better known restaurants up the road. It actually has the best... location in Snug Cove with an original menu, fresh ingredients and charming service. Hi Read more
Beautiful night, quaint restaurant? mediocre service starting at the door when we waited without being spoken to for about 10... minutes. The halibut ceviche special, wasn?t terrible but tasted like franks hot sauce, the charcuterie board was impressivelyunimpressive. Two small pieces of cheese (not even an ounce) three very very thin slices of meat, some caramelized onions 6Cornichon pickles and a balsamic onion and a quarter of a boring baguette, sliced. The cutting board it was served on was mostlywood. This charcuterie platter was ?Barely shareable. We ordered three mains. The salmon salad, which came 20 minutes before therest of the food. The steak and frites was a three out of 10, the steak was tough and cooked weirdly, and the vegan bowl whichwas meh. To top it all off they have a wasp problem and the street is under construction until 8pm, and disturbingly loud.Everyone in the restaurant had the look of? ?Really, like really?!?!? Honestly, wishing we had gone up the street to Barcelona,or Tuscany. Read more
Everything was delicious, even the desserts - which can be a bit of a disappointment in many North American restaurants for... those of us who don't like over sweet desserts. We ordered the seafood entree and duck confit, then the grand marnier souffleand lemon tart. It was splendid! The quality of every ingredient matched the perfect cooking techniques. Some big appetitesmight find the quantities a tad too tiny but I'd rather eat a bit less myself if that means eating something delicious. The duckconfit was the same taste we have it in France, and quite frankly it was even better. The seafood was fresh and cooked toperfection, the salmon was a tiny bit crunchy on the outside and not fully cooked inside, which is the way I love my fish. Theprawns and scallops were juicy and perfectly seasoned. This place is a gem and I wish my pictures were prettier and couldtranslate the flavours we enjoyed in this restaurant. Read more
Great little restaurant. Quiet and peaceful vibe. Outdoor seating was very beautiful! Indoor as well. All the restaurants on... Bowen are small, just like this one. Food was actually really fire. Service was amazing. Drinks were amazing too! I would loveto go back. I had the seafood linguine and it was super good. The truffle fries here were also really really good! If you?re onBowen and you want some great food go here! It?s steps away from the ferry. Read more
This was a great find - the food was amazing! We tried Brussel sprouts, a poke bowl, Cobb salad and a halibut fish as as well as... truffle Parmesan fries. The staff were lovely and food came out super fast. They also sell alcohol and coffees. Worth a visit ifyou?re on this island. Read more
I was very happy with the lobster bisque, my dad was also very happy with his duck confit. The pasta dishes were a little... underwhelming, but overall pretty good. I would say 4.2/5 Read more
