Blackfriars Bistro

An Authentic Farm-to-Table Experience
At Blackfriars Bistro, they are committed to sustainability. Their cuisine combines precise technique and skill with quality, hand-selected ingredients, and support. It depends on independent farmers and growers, sustainable fisheries, local artisans, and craftspeople for seasonally changing offerings. Chefs Bryan Lavery, Jacqui Shantz, and Liliana Hernandez-Oliva ensure that cooking and hospitality celebrate the farm-to-table experience, food, drink, and authentic flavours grown in southwestern Ontario.
This neighbourhood restaurant is housed in a heritage building (formerly a hotel and broom factory), situated in one of London's oldest communities just west of London's downtown core, and draws guests from all over the city and beyond. The restaurant's namesake, Blackfriars Bridge, two blocks east, is a stunning, recently refurbished 19th-century wrought iron bridge. From the beginning, Blackfriars staff was committed to doing things with generosity, innovation, and attention to detail. From Lavery's first 4-star review 28 years ago, "Food gets star billing at new Blackfriars," the chefs continue to be consistently celebrated for the cuisine's seasonality and authenticity and innovative approach to the culinary arts. Blackfriars is an authentic farm-to-table experience.
In addition to the dining room, there is a patio at the side of the building for alfresco dining. Blackfriars is renowned for its catering operations. At Blackfriars Bistro & Catering, all the food is prepared in-house with fresh, quality, seasonal ingredients by experienced chefs. Say your favourite flavours and leave the menu design to them. Blackfriars customize menus to reflect your unique requirements. Some of Blackfriars' fans know the restaurant more for its catering expertise as one of London's premier caterers.
