Comfort Food With A Twist
Cut & Craft Artisan Bistro – the name says it all. This quaint eatery sits near the top end of Kensington's famous Queen Street. Lined with restaurants, coffee shops and antiquaries, this street is a must-visit. But, for the time being, we will accept that you start out by exploring Cut & Craft Artisan Bistro's delectable offering.
Cut & Craft believe in the slow-and-steady cooking. This isn't a fast food takeout joint – all of their menu items are home-crafted from rustic recipes, handed down from generation to generation. Try Ouma's Apple Pie if you don't believe us. Also part of their foodie philosophy is to grow all of their own herbs. They have even started growing greens on a vertical hydroponic garden wall!
The décor is just as quirky as the menu. Steampunk-themed with a super laid back atmosphere is what you will find inside this little bistro. There's a wonderful blend of dark oaks, steel, and bronze give this place its character. All are welcome to stop by to relax and grab a bite to eat! Take your buddies along on a Sunday afternoon for live music, craft beer, and great food on their outdoor patio.
