    What a delight it was to find this family-run place, that is eccentric and very individualistic while still catering to what I'd call a baseline of cuisine options. One gets the sense the proprietors just decided on a limited menu of things they liked to cook, a little something for everyone, and have just stuck to that and done everything very, very well. The variety, for example, runs from regional standards like poutine (deliciously done with what appeared to be scratch-made gravy and unusually good cheese curds), PEI mussels, and smoked meat (on brioche!) to some Filipino classics (Adobo! Pansit!) to recipes straight out of Julia Child (salmon with hollandaise, eggs benedict, chicken cordon bleu) to a delicious house special of the only-found-in-Cornwall Cornwall pizza (Edward's, well-recommended) to some nouvelle (a lovely beet salad, a brilliant quinoa paella breakfast melange) to a good old fashioned club sandwich (a dying art). I was particularly taken with the soup of the day -- a tomato basil that sounds plain, but which had the most delicious combination of savory and slightly piquant spicing that was quite unexpected and very welcome. Really unusual. And I take it well that the other chef's special soup was out -- positive proof it's made in small batches fresh. Everything was very tasty, hot out of the kitchen, and fresh. All this with friendly service (well handled in the front of a house by a single server -- we think one of the owners, with a kitchen assistant bringing some things out) and unbelievably good prices (low double digits C$ on everything, which made it very affordable in US$). The decor is a little odd, and the place is a shotgun with only a front window (have they moved? the place looks nothing like previous photos posted here in Yelp), but the vibes and food more than make up for the somewhat strange ambiance. The diners were a mixed crowd as well, and it's always nice to see a place that attracts people on lunch break from their business and students and layabout tourists such as ourselves all in one delicious mix.

    Omg, this place is amazing! My husband and I had lunch here and we absolutely loved it! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Service was very welcoming and friendly, and the bistro is so cute! I had the salmon filet ($14) and my husband had the 10 oz ribeye steak ($19). The salmon filet came with vegetables, which were green beans, carrots and beets, and was atop a bed of white and wild rice, and covered in Hollandaise sauce. Where do I even begin? The Hollandaise sauce was buttery and citrusy, and I usually complain about too much sauce at restaurants, but I loved the sauce here, and it was just the right amount. The rice was fluffy and delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the veggies were a nice al dente. This dish was so good! My husband loved his steak. He ordered it medium rare and it was cooked just to his liking. He liked it so much that he didn't even offer me any, lol. His dish came with the same vegetables as mine, and also roasted potatoes. We were served by the owners themselves (a husband and wife duo). We chatted with them a bit and they seem like such genuinely nice people. They had a restaurant in Gatineau (Quebec) for 5 years, but then moved to Cornwall where they have been running Edward's Bistro for almost a year. We did not know about their restaurant in Gatineau and I regret not eating there when they were just across the river (we live in Ottawa). Now we have to drive over an hour to get to Cornwall if we want to eat there. Cornwall is very lucky to have them. If they were in Ottawa, we would be eating there every week! They make everything from scratch, and use local ingredients, yet keep their prices affordable, which makes me a huge fan. I highly recommend Edward's Bistro! What a gem!

    Everything about this place is great! It's very nice and comfortable inside. The service is great, the food is delicious and their prices can't be beat. Everything is fresh and made from scratch, including their ketchup. You really get the impression they care about every little detail - even their salt shakers aren't filled with regular salt. They use Himalayan pink salt. My husband ordered a seafood omelette and It was a very generous size and included five colossal shrimp which we found to be very generous. Talk about bang for your buck! I had their adobo chicken sandwich that was delicious and their accompanying hand cut french fries were superb. If I lived in the area I would definitely be a frequent flyer.

    Hamburger with freshly ground meat ( ground in house), freshly cut potatoes.  Even the ketchup is homemade.  A must try.

    Love this place. Love all the fresh ingredients. Everything homemade from ketchup to roasting their own coffee beans. Best eggs Benedict! Best hamburger and pest pizza!

    Yesterday's lunch. Eggs benny with steak.

We had the Holy Schnitz Poutine appetizer and really enjoyed it! The fried spaetzle and pickle chips were a nice addition. We each had a schnitzel dish for our main course. Very delicious and portions were quite large. They have a nice outdoor patio area but it was raining off and on so we opted to eat inside. They also serve wood fired pizzas which looked quite good. The wood fired pizza oven is in the middle of the restaurant so you can see your pizza being made. We really enjoyed our meals and recommend this restaurant.

There's ample parking available on the streets. It has a bar on one side and a family-friendly seating area (with a wood-burning pizza oven in the center) on the other. They serve amazing food and all the staff I've interacted with over the years have been friendly and accommodating. My go-to meal is a Guinness and the German Plate as it's filled with all the goods you want: schnitzel, sausage, spaetzle, sauerkraut, and potato salad! Even outside of whatever events they might be hosting, it is such a relaxing and warming place to enjoy a great meal!

They were understaffed and the servers were beyond frustrated with the manager and the way things were being handled. Our server (Brooke) was fantastic and was pushed to tears due to the way things are being handled by the manager. While Brooke (and the other servers) were great. The Manager was the total opposite. His approach was arrogant and quite condescending. He did not help to solve problems, only made things worse. Food was so backed up we ordered a couple pizzas and brought them to our table. And getting a drink was just as bad. I never did get my food order. It was too late (and after a few drinks) to leave and go elsewhere. And that patio is quite a nice location. Lots of space and comfortable. Overall The hotel is quite clean md modern and well appointed. Not fancy but quite nice. I will stay here again. If you want to eat or have a drink there are many more restaurants a a short drive away in downtown Cornwall that will leave you well fed and satisfied. The Jet Set is not one of them. They need to review this operation before it's too late.

The menu was straightforward--burgers, pasta, sandwiches, and a small "chef's selection." I asked my server about the Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf, and she recommended it. Unfortunately, the dish was disappointing. The bacon was undercooked, the meatloaf lacked any discernible flavor, and the overall presentation fell flat. The mashed potatoes were the highlight of the meal, though they required a bit of salt and pepper to come alive. I requested broccoli as a side but was instead served green beans. While I don't mind green beans, the substitution was unexpected and not communicated. Overall, the experience left much to be desired, with the sides outshining the entrée. The server was excellent and the rest of the staff was friendly.
