Par excellence
July 23, 2014My wife and I stopped for a light lunch at this establishment whilst visiting Okotoks for the first time. We were shown to a window seat and chose from the menu mushroom soup and quiches. The waiter (owner?) was attentive and polite and the food was truly delicious - all home made! The atmosphere and decor was very French with... more

The Perfect Place for a Perfect Party
June 10, 2014Thank you to the owners of Bistro Provence for allowing our 38 Girl Guides to come experience a fancy "High Tea" styled party at your lovely restaurant. It was the perfect place for our "little" group. The old post office from 1882 makes a beautiful, quaint little spot to have a wonderful time. Allowed us to get in some local... more

Wonderful , authentic French cuisine
May 27, 2014Wonderful authentic French cuisine. Owner served us and was very attentive. It showed that she was very proud of the restaurant. Her husband is the chef. Would definitely recommend however, the seating area is quite small. Quaint for a small gathering but bit sure if they could accommodate a large group.

Cutest restaurant
April 18, 2014Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants. Dinner is great quality French cuisine, and lunch is more casual. The food is always delicious and the owners are so fantastic!

Terrible. Never going back
March 07, 2014The food was okay but the service was terrible. Our server was not able to answer any of our question and they took our order wrong so we had to wait for another 30min to actually receive the food we ordered. So total about 1h or so we were sitting there waiting for our food. Never going back again.

really disappointed
February 20, 2014My husband and I went the week before Valentine's Day as we were both working on V. Day. I was really looking forward to eating at Bistro Provence. We were greeted nicely and taken to our table. The décor is very dated, circa 1980 motorhome. No tablecloths, the cutlery is all thrift store specials. There were only 2 tables occupied... more

Quaint, lovely restaurant
December 17, 2013I have been to this lovely restaurant run by a local couple several times and the food is consistently excellent as is the service. It is a renovated historical building so the atmosphere is unique. The personal touch they provide is very nice. They can accommodate small parties in a separate room. An excellent place for a business meeting or... more

Very Romantic and Personable
December 03, 2013We went there for our Anniversary Dinner and I have to say I just loved that it is an old house renovated into a restaurant right in Olde Towne Okotoks, very quaint, server was very attentive and most of all the food was delicious. Large portions didn't make you leave wanting more but filled you up. The owner personally came... more

Outstanding Food
November 03, 2013The restaurant has wonderful potential. The food is absolutely outstanding with the quality, presentation and price of a high end fine dining restaurant. However, they really need to put some time and effort into the decor. The restaurant is in a beautiful historic building. They could keep the charm of the old building but also make it a bit more... more

My stomach isn't thanking me right now
September 07, 2013My husband and I booked a date night here after a friend recommended the restaurant. I have to say we both left a little disappointed with the experience. They took our reservation for a Saturday night, but in all honesty, not sure we even needed one as they were pretty empty when we got there at 7:30 for dinner. We... more

An unexpected gem in small town Alberta
August 31, 2013Delightful little spot .. prairie casual combined with great food! The restaurant is housed in an old building ... a little disconcerting when you first arrive. But the warmth of the service is soon apparent. Our group raved about the avocado and prawn salad and the lobster bouillion appetizers. Every main dish was beautifully presented. Not a complaint amongst us.... more

The staff is well versed in the menu and is great in... more

Every dish is an outstanding experience
October 17, 2012I have eaten at the Bistro Provence at least a dozen times. The owner loves people and loves pleasing people. No request is too difficult. When you arrive you have a sense that you are amongst friends and family and are therefore encouraged to sit back and relax and take your time eating your many courses of delectable creations.

First class supper
June 28, 2012What started as a spur of the moment supper outing turned out to be one of the best dining out experiences of the year! The new owner was very friendly and hospitable, and the meal turned out to be even better than the glowing review he gave before we ordered it! Halibut was "over the top" !

Hidden Gem
April 20, 2012I know a new owner has taken over but the fare is still truly remarkable [it helps to have a chef from Normandy!]. It is pricey but the quality of food is extremely high. We go once a year on special occasions; book a reservation otherwise you might be disappointed and sit by the windows and order dessert!!!!

January 24, 2010Authentic french cuisine. however, cheap photocopied menus, cheap cutlery (Savation army special), cheap decor and uncomfortable chairs. For the price ($360 for 5 of us) I want better.
