Excellent dinner. Waitress was remarkable — she served the entire restaurant by herself and not rushed, just efficient, professional and with amazing charm. She said her husband is the cook. Delight to watch her. Certainly go back the next time we come to Qualicum. Highly...recommend.More

My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a wonderful dinner at Bistro 694 in Qualicum Beach. It is only open on the weekends and the menu is limited, but everything is top notch. I had the pork tenderloin and my husband had...the seafood crepes - both meals were to die for. We don’t usually eat dessert, but we shared a piece of the triple layer carrot cake and we are glad we made the decision to have some. You will not be disappointed if you chose to eat here. Excellent service, excellent food, and a wonderful atmosphere. We will go back for sure.More

Fantastic meal. Refreshing Caesar salad. Crotons were awesome. Gorgonzola chicken and butter chicken meals were a delight. Very generous portions of chicken with these great homemade sauces. The Gorgonzola was particularly decadent and filling. Finished off with a flourless Kahlúa chocolate cake….oh dear lord, somebody...save me. It was amazing. Go try out this intimate spot right downtown Qualicum on Memorial Steet.More

My husband and I book at Bistro 694 for special occasions and it never disappoints! We went for our anniversary dinner (Feb5) and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The hummus and pita bread was full of flavour and the shrimp cocktail superb. For the mains my...husband had the pork medallion. He thoroughly enjoyed. I can’t stop talking about the chicken with walnuts and Gorgonzola. It was incredible! We highly recommend this restaurant. They are open limited hours so plan ahead with reservations.More

Excellent vibe with the view of well lit courtyard, along with the wood/glass windows/doors. Fabulous crab and shrimp cakes and mixed green salad as appies. The pork tenderloin madallions of different sauces gave us a very different tastes, bot.h outstanding, not to mention the great...portion sizes. Very delicious. The waitress, the wife of the chef, was very friendly and gave us a family style of warmth which fitted very well with Qualicum Beach.More

Don't miss a chance to dine at Bistro 694--superb and delicate flavors and lovely intimate restaurant. We started with the Classic Ceasar Salad and honestly it might have been the best we've ever had. Super crisp romaine cut to the perfect bite size, with a...home made dressing that was completely balanced and flavorful. Our entrees included the Linguini Carbonara which was decadent, and the Curried Prawns which was a lovely, light balance of fresh flavors. Highly recommend!More

We dined at Bistro 694 last night for the third time. As always it was fantastic. Tony and Nancy are gracious hosts. The venue is cozy and welcoming. We started with Salt Spring Island mussels. My wife had pork tenderloin and I had the curried...prawns. Our appetizer and meals were skillfully prepared and presented. If you are in Qualicum Beach this is the place to go. Thanks Nancy and Tony for making our evening out superb.More

What a gem in this cute town! Between the two of us, we ordered carrot ginger soup, Caesar salad, sea bream and wild prawns in a beurre blanc sauce (special), chocolate lava cake and apple galette. ALL EXCELLENT! They were able to accommodate my husband's...need for a gluten-free (celiac) meal. The soup was so good that we purchased a container of frozen soup to take with us. In spite of there only being one server (co-owner and wife of the chef), service was excellent. Everyone who came in without a reservation was turned away - so plan ahead! Highly recommended!More

It is advisable to make a reservation especially if you have a larger group 5-6+. A couple or 3 ppl can usually walk-in without a problem but to be certain, for your special evening, call to make a reservation.
