Stratford Festival Reviews » Rundles $$$$

Food fit for a King Lear

The classiest place in Stratford, hands down, but not snobby, thanks to the quietly elegant charm of owner James Morris. You can dine in the original River Room and delight in the full menu, or do like many smart Stratford types (including artistic director Des McAnuff) and step back into the Sophisto Bistro, where for $55 you can have a divinely smoky plate of local charcuterie, followed by a zesty chili-rubbed quail and end with an inventive and beautifully presented plate of Canadian cheeses. Either way, you win.

Scroll down for a recent message board discussion about Rundles and Bijou. Desserts are debated: "Desserts at Rundles were more traditional but were executed properly. At Bijou, the caramelized banana tart with black pepper ice cream sounded very tempting but lacked favour."

Only one review with this noteworthy line: "...if you do not know anything about modern architecture, let alone European influenced modern haute cuisine and haute couture, combined with an understanding of cuisine in Canada, well, don't waste your time dining at Rundles"
