Avenue Bistro

Possibly the best place in Comox Valley, but still room for improvement. Excellent food, most importantly, a good menu, nice surroundings, and clean toilets. Unfortunately they are very, very slow. Not a problem if you’re not in a rush, and there’s also several items they have run out of, no matter what time of day, or day of the week you’re there.
Pleasant staff though, and generally a high standard of food. We’ll be back.

Decided to check out Avenue bistro due to good online reviews, and I am glad I did!
The patio was a nice place to spend a sunny lunch hour, and the service was prompt, attentive, and friendly.
The seared scallop appetizer intrigued me from the moment I saw it on the menu, and the flawless presentation hinted at the flavours to come. A base of apple slaw, followed by pulled pork that melted in my mouth, and finally three perfectly cooked scallops nestled on top, all pulled together and delivered in a big way!
For my main I had the fish tacos… with pieces of tempura lingcod and salmon on each the light flavours combined nicely to finish off the meal.
The best lunch I have ever had, thank you Avenue Bistro!

Delicious! We had the burger, salmon salad and polenta appetizer. Everything was excellent. Just wish we had saved room for dessert…

Comox Valley’s premier food destination, excellent modern cuisine in a trendy atmosphere. Fresh local oysters are an absolute must!

Good food. Decent prices on most items. Portion size was decent as well. If you are dead inside, try their hot sauce. It’s hawt.

Good service and good food, all at reasonable prices. How can you go wrong? We happened to be there on a Thursday night when they had pizza and pasta on special and the lamb ragu was deadly good (and $ 12!). Staff were friendly and attentive, the ambiance is pleasant and they had a reasonable wine list, including a selection of wines from Vancouver Island. We were in town on vacation but if we lived in the area we would happily return.

EXCELLENT!!! Went here 3 times. Each time better then the last. The oysters are a must; fresh and local. The cheesecake was amazing!!! Must try.

From start to finish, Avenue Bistro was exceptional. From our greeting from the hostess, to our first introduction to our server, right until we paid our bill, this place was a pleasure.
Great service, great atmosphere, everything reasonably priced and some of the best food we’ve had out in a long time. A great selection of fresh seafood, incredible drink menu and amazing array of entrée options.
Go to Comox, and eat at Avenue. Thank us later.

for tourists and locals, you need to know this is the best restaurant in town… Guaranteed great meals, not cheap buT GOOD LOCAL FOOD. Nice fresh seasonal menu options, great brunch, amazing steak, great seafood, brilliant veggies, non dairy and gluten free options… Consistent service, nice microbrews, and really really reliable in terms of food and experience. There really is no other restaurant in Comox.

Amazing restaurant. We started with a sampler of oysters and the pan seared scallops with pulled pork. Both were fantastic. I then had the seafood curry bowl and the folks I was dining with had the pan roasted halibut and cedar plank wild salmon fillet. All of the dishes were delicious and portions were generous. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée. Ambiance is fantastic and service is excellent.

Had a plate of fresh oysters that we’re exquisite. Two fish entrees from the fresh menu — sockeye salmon and halibut that were cooked just right. The potato salad served with the planked salmon was worth a2nd helping also had their «not too sweet» coconut cream pie. Fantastic!

We are visiting the area from California and are so happy we stumbled across this restaurant! The service is wonderful and the food is local and delicious! We enjoyed their oysters, tuna stack, salmon entrée and fabulous sticky date cake dessert. We had a fabulous evening!

Stumbled upon this place by accident but what a nice surprise! Really good food. I had the salmon — yum! Hubby had the steak and it was nicely prepared. Salad, dinner, drinks and dessert — all good! And loved the fries that came with my daughters menu.

Dinner for four on a Tuesday night — good martinis alround followed by appies — I had the soup — outstandfing! My main was Burger Bumps, bison and beef, one of each, with frites. Around the table the fish dishes were raved over. Rabbit was all over the fresh sheet but we weren’t quite ready for that! Great service.

This is definitely the place to go for Brunch while in Comox. A nice selection of Benedicts. i went with the Italiano. Poached eggs on polenta, covered with a sweet sultry tomato sauce, and sprinkled with a sharp cheese. Large servings of fruit, and perfect amount of potatoes and yams.
Coffee and Service was excellent. Would i go out of my way to go back to this place. YES! Nice deck outside and large modern dining room.
