What a fantastic restaurant to visit in the St Catherine’s area. We had the best meal there. Started with the dumplings (mushroom) and the breaded Flor Di Latte. Both were excellent but the pickles that came with the dumplings were just out of this world. I had the roasted lamb and my wife the duck. The lamb was perfectly cooked with a sumptuous herb coating. The duck was perfectly done with a sublime sauce. The cardamom mash that came with lamb was a delight unto itself. I could have happily had a bowl of that on its own. Finished with a Pear and pistachio cake that just ended the meal well. We were so impressed with the restaurant, the food and the wonderfully attentive service by Tyreese. I highly recommend you try this restaurant.
We went to Bolete for a special occasion dinner and the service and food did not disappoint. The server was very personable and did her best job to make sure that everything was superb. We enjoyed the warm olives and hummus platter to start our meal. Then had the chicken supreme and lobster pasta. The portions were perfect - enough that you were able to enjoy the dish, without feeling stuffed or that you had over indulged. If you are there early enough they did have some drink and appetizers specials that were for before 6 pm.
We had an absolutely exquisite experience at Bolete tonight. The food was incredible, the wine paired perfectly with our meals and appetizers, and the service couldn’t have been better (shout-out to our server, Faith!). The chef made a point to say hi after our meal and we thanked and congratulated him for having one of the best restaurants in Niagara and beyond. If you’re looking for a truly amazing dining experience with a classy and welcoming atmosphere in downtown St. Catharines, look no further.
What an amazing prix-fixe new years eve menu. I had the fois gras followed by a pan seared duck breast on a white bean casole. Creme Brulle for desert followed by cognac and coffee. Best in town. Get here if you can
I have enjoyed Bolete Restaurant. I have been going for some time now. Most excellent service and food. The Chef, stands over he's cooks. In an open viewable kitchen to the dining room. The Chef is excellent. His reputation deserves more. I would vouch for, Bolete Restaurant. I can recommend it.
A lovely restaurant with accessible washroom and open kitchen. Duck breast was cooked medium rare and perfectly seasoned with parsnip puree. But the sauce was a tad too salty. The daily special was the hand rolled cavatelli with 5 sea scallops in truffle mushroom sauce, and it was super delicious. The scallops were fresh and seasoned well. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate hazelnut cremeux with a tuile, which was perfect with coffee.
