Filou Bistro

If you're looking for an everyday, ordinary sandwich, that's what you'll get. Nothing too exciting, but not offensive either. I felt the andwich could have looked a bit better or more substantial, but the prices were reasonable. There really isn't any wow factor to get you to come back for more.

Filou Bistro catered a luncheon for our firm. The sandwiches were still warm from the oven and the salad was amazing. We will use them again happily.

I was first introduced to the Rotterdam and ever since I have been hooked!!! If you havn't tryed any of the baggettes you should deffinantly try out the Rotterdam 1st!!!! You will be hooked aswell... The service is awsome when Elke is there, there is always a plesant conversation. Other times I have went and she wasn't there I felt as though I was just "extra work" that they really didn't want to be bothered with. Now out of all the times I have visited I did not once see any of Elke's employees out front smoking, and the tattoo shop next door dosn't bother me what so ever. It's all in personal opppion I guess. What ever you do, just try it and see for yourself.

I thought I would attempt this returant again, however, as a 30 something woman, walking towards the store is daunting by the freakish men next door standing about smoking like chimneys. Although once I got to the door way of the resturant the staff in their bright yellow aprons sitting on the front steps, blocking the door way smoking, was enough to make me keep walking in disgust. In the end I sent a friend in to order my food to go. In this day an age, the last thing we should be walking into is clouds of smoke directly blocking the doorway. Shame on you Elke for not changing this behaviour in the last several years.

I love the Filou Bistro. And while I agree that the tatoo parlour next door is an eyesore, the food and staff at Filou make up for it. The decor is definitely unique. It has a cuteness to it. My favorite sandwich is the Monaco. I get this item nearly every visit. The garlic dipping sauce is AWESOME!!! Yeah for Filou Bistro. Go there!!

I love this place when you are in the area and on the run. You get healthy home made baguettes and soup. All that aside, the owner makes the most amazing dips (my favorite is the curry) I hve ever tasted. The healthy home made factor combined with extremely high levels of deliciousness keep me coming back whatever chance I get!

Unprofessional, unexperienced staff. Horrible Decor. The only good thing about this resturant is the food. Although eating inside is enough to ruin your appitete. The outside isn't much to garner interest either, as there are riff-raff always hanging out near/beside the store. Careful going through all the smoke, just to get to the entranceway. My sugesstion? Hold your breath, close your eyes when you enter, and take your food to go.

My wife and I eat at Filou Bistro at least onece or twice a month, my wife always gets the "Appledorn" and I try a different sandwich every time and usually get a cup or bowl of the soup of the day. The service is always tops and the food is fantastic ... couple that with reasonable prices and a unique menu makes it the VERY best place in Orillia and area to go out for lunch!

Fresh fresh fresh. Real food, real service. Not fancy but pleasant and comfortable. Soup is excellent size portions perfect. Will go often as affordable. Suitable and safe to take a guest. Guaranteed to please.

ELKE HAS A WONDERFUL BAGETTE SANDWICH CONCEPT AND YOU WILL BE ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED SATISFACTION WITH EVERY BITE! A DEFINITE PLACE FOR SOMETHING LIGHT, FILLING AND VERY UNIQUE IN TASTE. YOU WILL BE HOOKED! THANK YOU ELKE FOR BRINGING YOUR GREAT FOOD AND UNIQUE SPIRIT TO DOWNTOWN ORILLIA.
