Best food in sea to sky area. Actually, best food I’ve had in Canada 100%. Fresh, homemade, great portion size. Friendly service. European quality. Will be coming back plenty.

Crazy expensive for such small portions!! We ordered a Reuben sandwich and there was less meat than a subway sandwich but for twice the price. $25 with tax and tip for a childsize sandwich and root chips bits that weren’t even crispy (chewy & hard)...and like practically crumbs.More

My fiancé and I had been looking forward to lunch at the LCB, however we didn’t get to try the food due to the poor customer service. We were not greeted, then met with blank stares by 3 servers when asked to be seated. We...then sat ourselves outside, and after 10 minutes our server finally brought water but didn’t say a word to us. It was a bizarre 15 minutes so we decided to leave. It was a shame because we had travelled from North Van to try the food based on a recommendation.More

Good is so fresh and tasty! Lamb burger & beet/spinach salad. Home made English muffins are amazing! Not a huge fan of balsamic dressing, but the salad was good, loved the walnuts on-top!

We had our best meal here during a long weekend stay in Squamish! I came here with my husband, and we grabbed a booth outside for dinner one evening. I ordered the Lil Chef Burger with a side salad and my husband got the pork...schnitzel sandwich. Right off the bat, we were impressed with the amount of food we received and the presentation -- you definitely get your money's worth here. Everything we tasted was very delicious and fresh! It's so common that a side salad at a restaurant is just some sad lettuce, but I was very impressed with the quality and the contents of the beet and spinach salad. Next time we are up in Squamish, we would love to come back to Lil Chef Bistro!More

Driving through town and hungry yesterday, my wife and I stopped to eat breakfast before our long drive home. My wife had the Lil Stacker, and I had the Reuben Bennie. The Stacker was delicious with the homemade bacon and homemade English muffin, egg, sausage,...etc. My Reuben was an open faced sandwich with generous thick sliced corned beef topped with two perfectly poached eggs and hollandaise sauce that had the perfect balance of flavor. The side of house potatoes were perfectly spiced too as was the dressing on the spinach side! If you are in town, this is DEFINITELY worth your time to stop for a bite. Their lunch menu looked wonderful too. Service was quick and very helpful.More

While visiting our daughter, we popped into this little bistro for supper, captured by the hanging baskets with all the colorful flowers outside. It was a Monday and after businesses closed so parking was not a problem at all. It was a very hot day...so even though their outdoor patio was attractive, we chose to sit indoor instead. What we did not realize that there was only one fan above one table by the entrance, so were soaking our napkins with sweat throughout:(. A suggestion would be to install a couple more ceiling fans above the row of tables to improve customer comfort. We tried the Ravioli, Spinach & Beet salad + Turkey vege soup, and the Salmon burger with spatzle. Apparently, spatzle noodles is a German style noodles and they served it with bacon and cheese. They were all very tasty with nice presentation. T Turkey Vegetable soup could have used only half the amount of turkey in exchange for more veges. The salad dressing was very tasty but not too much that caused the veges to be soggy. The open kitchen concept where you can watch the chef cooks is always an enjoyable experience. Everything was clean and organized. The bistro also offers a wheelchair accessible washroom which is very considerate.More

Amazing brunch! Everything was delicious and the house made English muffins are incredible! Can’t wait to return. I had the Ratatouille & Eggs, it was full of flavour and a generous portion.

A nice change from the usual fare you see in so many restaurants. The perogies and pork schnitzel/spaetzle were delicious. Prices were very reasonable, and it had a nice ambience. We’d definitely go back.

Lil Chef Bistro is a great little spot. The service was fast and the food was freshly made and very tasty. Lots of interesting items and plenty of gluten-free options too. We can't wait to go back and work our way through the menu!

This place was such a treat for our rainy day brunch! Such a delicious meal, and so much of it made from scratch in house. With the open kitchen, we could see the skill and mastery of the chef team. Would recommend a visit!

This restaurant is worth your visit. It is pretty small but has a great atmosphere. We went there for brunch and the options were incredible. Most of the food appears to be fresh made and prepared in-house, not to mention that it was excellent. The...pricing is really good for the quality of food. I had a breakfast sandwich with Montreal Smoked Meat that was perfect. Would highly advise.More
