Explorers Bistro: Reviews & Ratings
We come to Midland quite often in the summer and were happy to visit this place! Most of the places offer deep fried stuff and here everything is made from scratch. The interior of the restaurant is charming, they have a nice patio as well. Portion size is on the bigger size and everything tasted delicious. Our waitress was wonderful and very attentive, especially to our children. We loved everything and will definitely be back.
Been eating at different restos for the last five nights, this has been by far, the BEST one. Delicious food, made fresh to order, NOT FROZEN, prices are great for the quality you get. Thank you so much Explorers, for your phenomenal service and flavour
Lovely lunch Sat Jan 11/2025. The food was delicious and the service great, very welcoming! The menu is varied and interesting; I’d like to come back to try more!!! I would definitely recommend and if I were local would visit often.
The decor of the restaurant is fantastic - it's light and comfortable, with beautiful pictures of locations all over the world on all of the walls. It seems that they change their menu periodically to be from one part of the world at a time - when I visited, the menu was all Mediterranean cuisine. The food was absolutely delicious, and my favourite was actually the appetiser, Spanokopita. It's like a small pie stuffed with cheese and pita, and I could have eaten that as my full meal.
I had dinner with my family for Thanksgiving, and we all ordered the Thanksgiving special. It was amazing, in my opinion. My family and I enjoyed this 3 course meal. We got soup, a main course, and dessert for 28. Definitely will dine here again.
Where do I start... The food is simply divine, the service is beyond amazing and the decor is on point. I’ve eaten here a few times, in house and for take out. Unfortunately I had forgotten to take photos while dinning in, but the Mushroom Risotto was perfectly made, the Lamb Shank was absolutely mouth watering, and the Truffle Burger and Truffle fries are a favourite of mine. Autumn was my server both times, throughly enjoyed her service and her dedication to her customers. For the price, you get what you pay for. Will be back more often! Thanks again
After discovering Explorers Bistro and how amazing the food is, I’ve been working my way through the menu whenever I go there. The place is clean, staff is friendly, food is a must try experience- and once you do you’ll be back for more! Especially if you try the Bruschetta!! Beautifully decorated! All spices, marinades and sauces created in house by the chef! For cocktails/mocktails they use fresh squeezes limes and lemons. Food cooked fresh- not from frozen. Great place to sit down and enjoy a meal or they do takeout as well as listed on Uber Eats! Must try if you live or stopping by Midland, Ontario area!
We had a blast at this place, food was very tasty and well made, they offered us samples to taste the food before ordering which was very helpful. The staff are extremely friendly & make great conversations with guests. They have vegan main course options, I just wish they would add a vegan dessert option as well, it’s something the manager said they are working on.
