About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
We want Sophie's to be a place where one could have a good, hearty meal (comfort food), simple and unpretentious, at a fair price. Our goal is to produce an atmosphere where people can come for lunch, a full dinner, a late snack, a glass of wine or a big cup of coffee and feel comfortable and at home. Our menu is diverse enough for everyone, yet simple enough so the average person will not get overwhelmed with numerous menu choices and complications. Our basic premise is to provide quality food and good service at a fair price in an unpretentious atmosphere. The décor is modeled after classic French Bistros. French country antiques, large open shuttered windows, dark woods, soft pastel colors and walls covered with family pictures make Sophie's an intimate cozy environment

    Sophie’s is always dependable to be a great meal! French onion soup is excellent! Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals….mussels special, salmon, cow au vin, or Margret. Know we’ll be back!

    The service was great. The food was delicious and it is the first time I wished the dance floor was open. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and the great care you gave my family. I have been living on the west coast it is nice to be reminded of the BEST COAST. The wine you recommended was great.

    Another great night at Sophie's. Everyone needs to visit Sophie's for their Spring Mussel Fest. A great price and a choice of one of six great mussel dishes each with a unique broth. Their featured wines are always very reasonable and good. We enjoyed a dozen escargot and then one order of the Dijon mussels and one of the Belgian Beer mussels. A little bit of heaven. Top off the night with a crepe suzette dessert special and espresso. The bistro ambience is charming, servers are always very attentive, and Peter is a wonderful host. A nice date night.

    Escargot was delicious; solid wine list, owner stopped by with complimentary aperitifs. Bread was soft and crusty. One dish could have used a bit more salt but might have been personal preference. Yukon mashed potatoes were Michelin quality. They charge for bread refills and credit cards but have great free parking so its a wash. I will revisit to try more dishes and the dessert menu.

    Always a great meal at Sophie's Bistro. This visit we went for the "mussel fest" which did not disappoint. Friendly and attentive staff make for a relaxing evening.

    This place has a relaxed atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff. I had boeuf bourguignon pot pie, which was served in a choux pastry. The piping hot baguette was the perfect accompaniment to the stew. The profiteroles dessert was also great, with the light airy pastry and the (french?) vanilla ice cream. The passion fruit iced tea was nice, too. I would come back to try the other items in the menu.
