Bistro Camino

What is Bistro Camino? Located at 2750 Danforth Avenue near Dawes Road, Bistro Camino is a long-standing, family-run dining room that fuses classical French bistro cooking with subtle Japanese execution. Helmed by Chef Hiro Hatori, the space offers an intimate, refreshingly retro atmosphere lit by vintage fixtures and grounded by unpretentious table seating.

Bistro Camino Menu & What to Order The kitchen specializes in comforting, value-focused bistro cooking with dishes that are increasingly rare on modern menus. Start with the velvety lobster bisque or crisp crab potato salad croquettes before moving to signature mains like the tender ox tongue bourguignonne or crispy-skinned duck confit. The house-smoked salmon and classic escargots are reliable preludes, best paired with an easy-drinking table wine. Plant-based diners should take note that the menu is firmly meat- and seafood-centric, with very few vegetarian options.

Know Before You Go Tables can fill up on weekend evenings, making advance reservations over the phone a smart move, though early weeknight walk-ins are generally easy to seat. The bistro is a five-minute walk east of Main Street Station and Danforth GO, with metered street parking along Danforth Avenue. Service runs for dinner Tuesday through Sunday, and the dining room is closed on Mondays.
