Convivia Bistro Cuisine

Another review said have the french onion soup. Yes, for sure, have the soup. It was great! Pastas had 2 options - side serving or full order. So we split Giada's Ossobuco and had side pastas. The canneloni and the carbonara were delicious. The staff were extremely professional despite a large group of uncontrolled children in another part of the restaurant-some people shouldn't be parents. The service was outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant, and get reservations. We're there in the off season and it was packed.

Went to have dinner.nI was by myself.nWalked into restaurant and kitchen is just at the front. That was good.nThe restaurant was not busy.nServer saw me standing by the attendant desk and didn’t acknowledge it. He was folding napkins. I had called couple mins ago to ask for directions as map took me to Main Street.nChef came out and greeted. I had to ask chef if someone would be helping me with table.nBecomes awkward as I was the only person to dine in. There was only one family at the table having food and rest of the tables were empty.nServer did took me to the table. Didn’t introduce himself.nFood was amazing. Although I don’t eat beef or pork so I couldn’t try their famous French onion soup as it has beef broth.nI ordered Asparagus Cream featured soup of the day andnFrench Carbonara with chicken. Definitely recommended.nBoth were amazing and Rich in texture.nI ordered Virjin Mojito- not the best! Too many lime pieces in one drink. So wouldn’t suggest it at all.nI was full and didn’t had enough room for dessert but I am sure it would be delightful.nOverall ambience was great. A sweet lady put rose jar at my table and lit up candle. Overall it was good experience and got to enjoy hot delicious food.

Delicious duck poutine plus pasta, only $33. Waiter is super professional. Love the decor and its outdoor enclosed patio with AC. Will definitely visit again.

One of the best places to eat in BC. Every detail is perfect. The place is well appointed and classy. The service is professional and exactly as it is supposed to be. And of course, most importantly the food is outstanding. Best pasta dish I've had outside of Italy. Thankfully, my partner suggested that we try the escargot and we couldn't be happier to have done so. Just an all around perfect meal.nParking right across the street, and access is easy. Definitely looking forward to a return visit.

It was good but not great. Very $$. Ordered deep fried calamari, it was OK but super small pieces. The accompanying dip was basically butter, we all thought it was weird. Had linguine with shrimp-tasted fine but definately did not taste the wine sauce at all. Decent service & atmosphere.
