Blackfriars Bistro
The cuisine at Blackfriars Bistro combines precise technique and skill with quality, hand-selected ingredients. The restaurant supports and depends on indie farmers, sustainable fisheries, local artisans and craftspeople for seasonally changing offerings. Owner Emanuela Frongia and chef Bryan Lavery ensure that the cooking and hospitality celebrate the farm-to-table experience with food, drink, and authentic flavours grown in southwestern Ontario.

The Scene
This heritage building neighbourhood bistro is central to one of London’s oldest communities, just west of London’s downtown core, drawing guests from all over the city and beyond. The bistro’s namesake, Blackfriars Bridge (two blocks east), is a stunning, recently refurbished 19th-century wrought iron marvel. In addition to a bright yet intimate dining room, there is a new patio at the side of the building for alfresco dining.
Menu Highlights
From the beginning, Blackfriars staff has been committed to doing things with generosity, innovation, and attention to detail. From Lavery’s first 4-star review in 1996, “Food Gets Star Billing at New Blackfriars,” the chefs continue to be consistently celebrated for the seasonality and integrity of the cuisine and their innovative approach to the culinary arts. This is an authentic farm-to-table experience.
The Blackfriars kitchen is happy to accommodate any allergy or dietary requirement you or your guests may have. Please advise them if you or any of your guests have any allergies or dietary requirements and they will do their utmost to ensure that an “accommodated” culinary experience is just as amazing as everyone else’s.
The Best of Every Season!
