    If you haven't been to Riverside bistro, your missing out! The food is amazing, the quaint little bistro is adorable! The owners Dave and Paula are two of thr best people I know! A great menu, there's a car show on Wednesday in the summer, along with live music! Campsite available, and sits along the Styx River right here in Crawford! 15 mins between Durham and Hanover on Mulock rd N. I love all the food, but they also have the best fish n chips in the area!! They are renovating and making it so beautiful. Snowmobilers!! Get your butts there for a hot meal after a long ride! They also have their liquor license!! I give them a 10/10 for all aspects of this perfect little Bistro. Good food, great people! Go say hi to Paula and Dave! Tell them Debbie sent you

    Came across this quaint bistro today quite by chance. Can't say enough about it. We got there just before opening and were surprised to see a beautiful porch like setting where we could sit and wait for the bistro to open. The owner Dave was very hospitable and welcoming. Once inside I couldn't get over how cute the setting was. The service was awesome and the food was deliciously made by his wife Paula. Before we left we went out back to look at the surroundings and couldn't believe how beautiful they were. I definitely recommend this lovely resort bistro. Can't wait to return. Thanks to Dave & Paula for creating this beautiful haven. Judy & Livio
