Gord and I had brunch this morning at Bethune's Bistro…read more We both had the Classic Breakfast ... a nice old school brekkie for $10. The home fries seemed to be made from scratch and the bacon was really crunchy.

The classic breakfast ($9.95) consists of a choice of eggs, protein (bacon, sausage, or ham), home…read morefries, and toast. I'm glad to see their scrambled eggs are made with real eggs and not the boxed liquid ones; I could tell from the telltale flecks of white mixed in with the yolk and denser texture. Their bacon was also tasty: crispy, not too salty, and had a nice smoky flavour. If anything, the home fries could use more time on the flat top to develop a crispier crust, but they were still decent and would pair nicely with fried eggs to create a soft hash. I was excited to see the lovely caramelization on the house pancakes ($9.95 for three) but it didn't really translate into flavour. As pancakes go, they're nice and fluffy but also store-bought tasting, especially when served with packaged table syrup. Bethune's plain house burger ($9.95) reminded me of the ones I had in high school at Johnny Andersons. The beef patty is thicker than McDonalds, but also seems to be mixed with flour as it has a softer consistency. Still, it had a nice crust, and was adorned with all the classic fixings: mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and onion. The French fries are also a step up from the home fries - crispy, hot, and made with real potatoes. The low prices may partially be attributed to Bethune's lean (but not mean) staff. Even on weekends there's usually only one person out front and presumably one chef. Yet, service was efficient, and I've always felt taken care of and welcomed. If you're in Gravenhurst, I'd recommend skipping fast food and support local at Bethune's Bistro instead. While it's more aptly described as a diner or family-style restaurant (as opposed to a bistro), there's a friendly small-town charm to the place and you won't leave broke or hungry.

We ordered beef with black pepper sauce and kun paw chicken and white rice. We received our order and were finished eating by 9:30! Both dishes were labelled spicy but were not really very spicy, but were full of fresh vegetables and well flavoured. The residents of Pontypool are lucky to have such a gem in their village. We will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I come from downtown Toronto so our standards are fairly high for this but we were pleasantly surprised by how great the food tasted and the size of the portions. The takeout lasted us for 3 meals definitely got our money's worth! Food was well packaged and we got some fortune cookies as well. The restaurant has a wide selection and the taste is very authentic. The restaurant interior was also well maintained and there were hand sanitizers upon entry. Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Authentic Chinese restaurant with fast service and friendly staff. The place was open and bright…read more We ordered: Xin Jiang BBQ Cabbage (3.5/5) which was full of flavour from the cumin, Sichuan pepper, star anise etc. The cabbage was crunchy and fresh. It could use a bit more char. Szechuan Fish Fillet in Peppercorn Chilli Soup (4/5) which had tender and perfectly poached fish fillets. We wish it was spicier but otherwise this dish was tasty and full of fragrant spices. Egg & Chive Pancakes (4/5) was packed with filling and the pancake had a really crispy texture on the outside but soft on the inside. It had glass noodles inside as well. It has a faint aromatic flavour that wasn't too overpowering. We poured some of the Szechuan peppercorn chilli soup inside too which tied in all the flavours together.

Definitely authentic Chinese food. We went for lunch but was told it ended at 2pm (we were 5…read moreminutes late apparently)... So we ordered off the regular menu. A sampling of various dishes. The Dim Sum items we ordered (3) were excellent, but the Spicy Beef dish was very mediocre. The beef was tough and dried out... With way too much cilantro... Honestly not very good, nor was the portion very large for the $23 price. I also ordered a steamed rice which was hard and frankly tasted like a packet of Uncle Ben's Minute Rice. Service was quite slow considering the place only had 3 tables including ours. Overall I would not come back... Price was very high, at $66 before tip, for what we got and really not very good. Won't go back.

Authentic Thai food in Huntsville!…read more We had the sweet and sour fish and mango fish which was really good. The Pad Thai was also very tasty-wanted it a bit more spice which their hot sauce was good and added the needed kick! The only thing that was so-so was the Pad See Eew which we found too "wetter than normal". Seating was a bit cafeteria like but the service was very good. Highly recommended!

The service was excellent, the waiter gave us ice water, we got the chicken fried rice, we beef drunken noodle, green curry chicken, the food was 5/5, the chicken fried rice had an amazing fragrance, the ambiance I'll be honest they could use a makeover but honestly it doesn't really matter because the food was fantastic. The Mango salad was really refreshing, the green curry was so good, the broth was perfect in balance, I can eat ten plates of that, honestly, the drunken noodles were phenomenal I never tried them before but omg they're fantastic the noodles had the perfect chew texture and the sauce was phenomenal. Honestly I would say this is one of the best Thai food I have ever eaten so far, and this is not even in Toronto, I wouldn't expect to eat at such an amazing Thai restaurant in Huntsville.

I might've given them 3 stars, as the ingredients used appeared to be fresh under the over sauced…read moredishes; the 4 dishes were edible but not one dish was restaurant-level tasty; on my third forkful I even wondered if the person who prepared the food had actually gone to a decent cooking school... To finish what I started saying: I did not choose 3 stars as the ROO-value (return-on-order) based on the 4 dishes at $56.28 with a 10% tip (Sue guy, honey garlic spareribs, Shanghai noodles, chicken and bean sprouts) was obviously lacking. The sooguy was substandard in almost every way. The chicken was really a breaded-deli-slice of chicken topped with cheap fried oil... the chicken with bean sprouts was a small portion and unacceptably tasteless. Lastly the Honey Garlic ribs: although they had plenty of garlic and a pretty-much fair tasting honey garlic sauce, were so overly boiled likely to prepare a pork-stock that it left the meat without any flavor of its own to be enhanced by honey garlic sauce...
