Each dish is made especially for you with a variety of flavours. Control your own spice destiny by choosing a heat level from mild to holy-mama-where’s-the-fire-hose?!

You aren’t the only one to be inspired by this gorgeous place! The team that creates the top-class meals at the Juniper Bistro consistently goes above and beyond to find creative ways to present local ingredients. There’s a reason why the Juniper Bistro received six (!!) awards in the 2019 Best of the Bow Awards. The Juniper romped away with top prize for both Best Breakfast and Dinner Menus, Most Romantic Place to Eat, Best View, Best Patio and Best Service. So, basically, whether you’re planning to start the day with a delicious breakfast fritatta, brekky salad (or something simple like eggs or granola) or want to wow your sweetheart on a special occasion (start by sharing the charcuterie and cheese board), you can’t go wrong by choosing to visit the Juniper Bistro.

Your biggest dilemma will be choosing what date to indulge yourself (while I’m thinking about scheduling - do check the website if you’re planning a visit around a major holiday as opening hours and menu offerings may change).

Thank goodness a few smart farmers got their hands on Japanese Wagyu cattle before the breed was declared a National Treasure in Japan and exports were banned. That’s why you’ll find Brant Lake Wagyu beef kabobs on the starters menu at Divas and can save yourself a trip to Japan in search of this most delectable of  meats. Prefer a decadent salad? Try the baby spinach salad with sliced crispy apples, dried cranberries, walnuts, and double crème brie. Travelling with children? Ask for a kids’ menu for your youngsters 12 and under. 


Don’t miss a visit to the Divas Cocktail lounge and sip a Marilyn Monroe Cosmo (raspberry vodka & Chambord -- a black raspberry liqueur-- shaken with cranberry & pineapple juice - saucy and sweet, just like Marilyn). Movie buffs will love playing I Spy with the photos of Hollywood divas! (Open most weekends)
