About Thyme Bistro

We decided to visit About Thyme after seeing its ranking in TripAdvisor and the glowing reviews. This was a spectacular find and definitely exceeded our already high expectations. Our party of three shared the following dishes:
1.) Mussels of the Day (small) — I definitely agree with the reviewer that the mussels & fries here can beat out the ones in Belgium. In fact, I much preferred it over the ones I had in Chez Leon in Brussels. The mussels were very fresh and juicy. Also, the small is actually quite big in size and would be enough for 2 to 3 people for sharing as an appetizer.
2.) Charcuterie Plate — If you love meat, you will enjoy this plate. You get a good variety and quantity of cured meats.
3.) Pork & Beans — The pork belly was very tender and melt-​in-​your-​mouth. The only complaint we have is the fattiness of the pork belly.
4.) Bistro Poutine — The most memorable dish of our meal, hands down! That dish is worth the trek to About Thyme from Toronto any day. It’s the best poutine we’ve ever had and we’ve had our fair share, even journeying to Quebec where the dish originated.
If you’re within the area or within driving distance of Lincoln, this bistro should be in your To-​Eat list. The closest comparison to a Toronto establishment that comes to mind is The Black Hoof. I enjoyed the dining experience at About Thyme more since the ambiance was more laid-​back, less cramped, and the service was more attentive.

This was a last minute find on our recent trip to niagara for the night. What a great surprise. The food was excellent, the service pleasant, and the selection of wines was very well organized and diverse. Highly recommend about thyme, if you are looking for a nice dinner for 2 near Jordan.

I love this place. We have eaten here a couple of times and love it. The rainbow trout, cold melon soup and goat cheese/​apple salad were all wonderful. The chocolate hazelnut tart was a bit too sweet for my taste but still good.
