The Office Bistro 61 Elm St., Sudbury 671-6716 Open weekdays for lunch from 11 am to 2 pm; dinner from 5 to 9 pm;; Saturday dinner from 5 to 9 pm r e st a u ra n t re v i e w Apple strudel just like grandma’s This restaurant has the “funk factor.” It resembles something one might find in Toronto’s Distillery District or the Village in New York. The owner Marc Chartrand has made excellent use of his surroundings by creating a funk element that is unique to Sudbury. Once again, my dining companion and I were on a hunt for the perfect lunch spot: great food, warm surroundings, great service and quiet enough that we can hear ourselves think and carry on a conversation. Office Bistro passed with flying colours. Service was immediate, friendly and genuine. The Office Bistro’s well-created menu of lunch items will satisfy even the most discerning palates. Take the salads, for example. A popular lunch order these days for both genders, Office Bistro delivers an array of salad dishes that could tempt even the most severe carbohydrate addict. From beef and pork tenderloin to Asian and California fusion, the salads deliver a meal to awaken your senses. My choice was the pork tenderloin salad with apple, pecans, and a hint of Stilton cheese drizzled with n BY LYDA BARSH warm honey vinaigrette. This dish was a feast for the eyes and the appetite. My companion ordered the shrimp and scallop pasta, but was concerned about portion size. Not only was the serving size ideal, there was fresh pasta in a delectable cream sauce complemented with tender morsels of scallop and shrimp. A home run! The dessert menu was irresistible. When I was growing up, apple strudel was a frequent dessert. It was always homemade. My grandmother passed many years ago, but she paid me a visit with apple strudel at the Office Bistro. The pastry, soft and light, with thinly sliced apples topped with cinnamon and served with caramel ice cream was a perfect finale to a great meal. If you’re not interested in a meal, do consider visiting the Bistro for dessert. It is worth the trip. Whatever your diet regime or tastes, the Office Bistro deserves kudos for their food service performance!
