I’ve decided this will be my last review of White Goose. Am I bored? No. Has their quality fallen? Of course not. But talking and posting about White Goose Bistro by this point is like walking up to random strangers and discussing how awesome Star Wars is. I mean everyone gets it, we’re all on the same page. It’s one of those natural laws we accept as fact. Grass is green; water is wet; sky is blue; women have secrets; White Goose is an amazing restaurant. In my recent article covering the Northern Taste challenge, I compared head chef Ryan Cyre to Thannos from Guardians of the Galaxy. White Goose had the best table at the recent Summerfest Taste Pavilion and won the recent BCNE Northern Taste Challenge. My recent visit to their actual restaurant was marked by a visit by actor Ron Perlman and celebrity chef/author Bob Blumer. And even with those eminent patrons, Ryan still made a point to approach my table personally to discuss a dish I had ordered. There are great chefs in Prince George—fact—but I have yet to find one with the passion for food like Ryan. He lives and breathes good food. I doubt he sweats sweat; more likely he sweats béchamel sauce…which…admittedly sounds disgusting, but you get my point. And he gathers around him colleagues that match his passion, that strive for that high quality. This includes his sister, running front of house, who could also be a better baker than him. In a previous review I had mentioned that White Goose was a revolutionary experience for such a small town, nailing a coffin in the accusation that restaurants in Prince George cannot be and should not be critiqued on the same grounds as those in Vancouver and that local restaurants can never hope to achieve the echelon of quality boasted by the likes of celebrity chefs and Michelin star establishments in larger cities. I also mentioned that White Goose should be that special place you take your loved one for birthdays and anniversaries, and not where you take a girl you met the day before on your first date. It’s a foodie’s heaven, and when I die far in the future from, hopefully, a failed heart after a night of constant debauchery on my 99th birthday, and I gain the Matrix-like ability to construct my own heaven like Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come (great, now I’m sad), there will be a spot where a White Goose will sprout…because it wouldn’t be a heaven without it. And that would be the end of it, a proper close to the review, but I love gushing about the food. I started with the grilled polenta served with a mouth-watering porcini mushroom reduction and followed that with seared tuna with grilled risotto. The main was also fringed by a fistful of spring beans, which I usually don’t finish but totally cleaned up. There was a dessert, I remember, but didn’t take a photo of it, chocolate cake with butter pecan sauce I believe. Now don’t get me wrong, I still love North 54 and Twisted Cork, but I plan my year around the days I can save up for White Goose. It’s just worth it. And returning back to the Star Wars metaphor, sure, every year films get made that win best picture Oscars, and that’s all good, but Star Wars is just…well…Star Wars. …unless JJ Abrams screws it up…which he totally could. Just saying.
We can't wait to go there again. Probably the best menu layout I've seen at a restaurant in a very long time. Good on them.
Great food for a big group (Christmas party) food was timely and delicious, service was great. Thanks a bunch!
This gem is located heart of PG downtown, with friendly staff, awesome vibe, and above average food. Deserve all the positive reviews. The crab cakes, and stuffed mushrooms were great, but the Roasted Leg of Lamb Wellington is a little off, …
Service was wonderful. Really enjoyed the ratatouille!
Amazing food and service! Perfect date night.
Fantastic food and great staff. Never disappoint!!
Incredible food, large portions and great staff. I was really impressed and surprised, given the area, but it really is a diamond in the rough.
I never knew that the greatest dinning experience in the city...sold such a wonderful lunch cheaper than any other place in town...I mean I can't believe I didn't know this and have been missing out on a GREAT lunch experience
The salmon entree was excellent. Service was great, would definitely eat there again!
We were a large group of 12 which tends to be a problem for most places. The service was excellent, but the food was average. One meal was sent back and a few came like warm. Some places can manage a large group, some can't. Unfortunately on this night the food was a fail inspite of the service being pretty darn good.
It's been 3 weeks since we ate at the White Goose Bistro and I still think about the ravioli on special that I got to eat. It was delicious. Everyone from our table loved their food. The service was phenomenal. I honestly don't have a negative thing to say about the experience. It is for sure one of the gems of Prince George.
Great service and environment. Awesome price on food. I love the great employees.
Great local restaurant. They have a fast lunch special. Enjoyed it everytime I have gone.
The food is not quality at lunch the dinner is good the servers tried but still struggled even tho it was not that busy. Me and my wife type do not think we will go back as we have had a few negative experiences here as of late.
Great food with even greater service!.
Excellent food and great choices service was great too highly recommend
Si.ply amazing , top 3 places in town to eat
Owner drives crazy in the street pulling ilegal turns and parks partially in a handicapped spot taking up 2 spots. Anyone like this is terrible and the food they make must be reached
I eat here regularly. I've seen first hand what they can do in the kitchen, and it blows my mind every time. 11/10 would recommend!
This is my favorite restaurant when I want to treat myself or my family. We get the 5 course chefs choice dinner and we have not been disappointed yet! We have also never had the same thing twice! Chef Ryan and his team in the kitchen work magic with food, while Fallon and her team up front make everyone feel like they are family. This is always the first place I recommend when people ask me where they should eat.
This is truly a wonderful eatery here in Prince...its a one of a kind experience ...the food is exceptional as well as the service...together they really make you feel special when your there. Thank you!
Good quick lunch bites. Menu attractive but the execution of the food not always consistent.
The service was personal and professional. Our meals came faster than it took for us to decide what to order.. very impressive. Always a great lunch time choice for a downtown, busy life that requires a professional environment and amazing food!!
The food is great and the décor is nice. They have a good selection on their menu and I found their prices to be reasonable. The restaurant has a light interior with large windows. The layout also gives the restaurant a cozy feel.
Great selection of BC wines. Chef Ryan and the crew will make you crave to come back for more. Food is delicious. Quiet atmosphere downtown Prince George
Great menu, and great service. And the food was delicious.
Meal type
Food was excellent. Staff where friendly and very helpful. Chef knows how to prepare and present his/her dishes. Loved it and would come again
A really nice variety of well prepared, tasty food here. I don't seem to get tired of the menu and have a hard time picking what to get because there're so many appealing options. Also good value!
We have eaten here many times and its always a 'home run' out of the park. Chef Ryan is not afraid to go global to give his customers what they need. A chef that thinks out of the box. We are always amazed that we have a cuisine intellect of this magnitude in PG. We have often felt proud to take our 'out of town' business guests to the Goose. The Bellwood's

This is the kind of place my wife and I have been looking for. Service is awesome and the steak and seafood platter was amazing. Thanks for a great night. We will be back.
The served food is really good and the menu offers an exquisite selection. The staff is lacking to the detriment of my experience because I always had to get their attention for anything I needed. My drinks were empty and no one noticed. I would go there again for the food but not for the service.
Got the surf and turf for 2. I asked for medium rare steak. It was grey and very well done. Looked like they just cooked one steak and cut it in half. Scallops were raw, entire plate was cold, and the rest of the seafood was salty as hell. For $100 I expected it to be a little better than that.
Good service and food. Didn't have all menu selections but friendly staff made good recs.
LOBSTER NACHOS. These were some of the most delicious and most unique nachos I've had served with salsa and a dill sauce. Afterwards we had a salmon bowl and risotto, both tasty. Excellent service from attentive and friendly staff. A must visit for a fancy date night.
Fantastic seafood feast for Valentines
Took my wife here for her birthday lunch. I have lived here almost 20 years and this was my first time. Believe me, it won't be the last. The food was excellent and the service wonderful. The price was OK to. The nice thing about the White Goose is they have an express menu designed for lunch. They will have you in and out for lunch. Try the deep fried pickles!
Dinner
Amazing Food and great Service! Nice experience all around
Had the fathers day special, very lack luster. Under seasoned and cold. Should have stayed home and cooked . Overpriced and underwhelming.
We had the “Let the Chef Decide What to Make You” meal and not only was it an excellent experience, but our server/The Owner could have taught a service and hospitality class. The White Goose Bistro is a class act and they definitely Give Back to the community. 5 Stars Plus!
Went there Sunday for Mothers Day with my mom son and myself. The staff was excellent the food was absolutely delicious ???? will join your hospitality again
Great meal. A surprise every time if you choose to go with the Chefs special. Really great. J.S.
Excellent food, drink, and service. I have have always had a positive experience here.
I have been twice and both experiences not great. First time I needed more dressing on the salad and was charged for it. The second time, I ordered the soup and salad combo for lunch and the salad was just letus, that's it. I will never return.
This is still one of the best places in PG. Great food and even better service. A good time, every time.
Thought it was a bistro. It was a wonderful real restaurant experience. Amazing food.
Excellent restaurant nice atmosphere friendly staff and the food is superb.
Service
Lunch special was an excellent value. In and out quickly, even though it was busy!
Another fantastic meal at White Goose. Elected to have the chef designed 5 course meal. Amazing.
Nice and friendly, great food ????????
Lovely service, great food. One of the only restaurants in PG that does not have loud music playing. You can actually have a conversation here!

The service was excellent .And the food was delicious everything was made with fresh ingredients .And dessert was awesome too .Highly recommend duck & the lamb .We will definitely come back .From Telkwa BC
We didn't make a reservation for Friday evening because we're dumb, but the staff fit us in no problem and we appreciated it. The pasta special was the best I have had in my mouth in a while. Amazing menu, food and service.
Lovely restaurant , food is great and service excellent
Excellent eggs benedict board today. The eggs were perfectly done
Great food. Great service.
Fantastic meals and the service was excellent have been here several times before and will definitely be back again.
Always great food and service
Very nice quaint spot, great bocconcini salad, unbelievable tenderloin.
Pretty decent food and service
Nice place for lunch during the week. Good break from office????
Meal type
Great fast friendly service if you're in a rush for lunch hour there is a express menu as well :D highly recommend this bistro
Food was great and the service was excellent
Do the 5 course surprise meal. I've never been disappointed. Great knowledgable friendly staff and amazing food! Every. Time.
The steak tenderloin here is hands down the best steak I have ever experienced in my life. You will be shooting yourself in the foot and crying in front of your date when you order the 6 ounce and realize you could have had two more ounces of this succulent slab of texture defying beef. I enjoyed it so much I had to write my one and only ever review so others can see they won't regret getting it.
Me and my sister went to this restaurant and ordered some appetizers from there menu. There food was delicious. We also had their cheese cake it is to die for!! So good would definitely recommend and go back.
A group of us from work come for lunch occasionally. The food is usually good but the vegetarians and vegans in our office stay away because almost everything on the menu has meat or dairy in it. Yes you can order fries or a salad with the cheese picked out of it but this is 2019, the world is changing. Try to keep up. Have some imagination with your menu. A member of my group discreetly told the server (who smelled like cigarette smoke) there was a fly in her water. Instead of quietly removing it and replacing it she made jokes before finally taking it away. A couple of minutes later a man at the next table complained of lipstick being on his waterglass. Again more jokes. This is clearly a regular occurrence if the waitress has uncomfortable jokes ready for these occassions. I'm recommending a different restaurant.
Food is excellent and service is usually excellent as well.
Amazing food as always. Amazing waitress!
Been there numerous times and have not been disappointed yet. We are in the hospitality business and know what to look for when it comes to customer service. And the team at the White Goose are as good as it gets.
Meal type
Great food and service.
Five course dinner - chef’s selection was UNBELIEVABLE! Delicious selection of meals with beautiful wine pairings. Incredibly attentive service from our amazingly knowledgeable server Fallon! I highly recommend!!
wouldn’t expect less from the staff, they’re so kind and helpful. the food ALWAYS tastes amazing! i ordered off of skip and i couldn’t get a driver for 3 hours and they offered to remake my food and drive it to me, they didn’t have to do that but they did it anyways and i deeply appreciate the staff there.
I must say the White Goose Bistro was excellent. We're cruising through on a bike trip and thought we should treat ourselves to something nice for supper. No disappointments here. Service was excellent. Large portions but the seafood pasta, bruschetta and goat cheese salad were excellent. Thanks guys!
Loved the chicken, brie and fig sandwich. Perfect balance.
This review is based strictly on the service as I wasn't there and cannot speak to the food. I organized a large group to have dinner at the White Goose and the party size was 4 less than I had originally stated to the staff. I heard from those at the dinner that the waitress was irritated with change in group size and while I understand that frustration I don't agree with how she handled it. The waitress seemed to bring up this frustration, in an off-handed way several times when attending to the table, even when my group apologized for this change (wasn't their fault) and it left a bad taste in their mouth. As a result of this, I won't be organizing dinner at the White Goose again and I was disappointed that the group had this experience.
Dine in
Our anniversary dinner there was fantastic. Some of the best food I've ever had, not just in PG, but anywhere in the world, and I've been to 40 countries. They seem a bit shortstaffed on servers, but other than that I can't recommend the restaurant enough based on the quality of the food alone. The mussels and the steak were the best.
So i include pictures of my meal and Calamari that we ordered as an appetizer, my meal was I think called the Mediterranean Angel hair pasta and it was absolutely delicious, the decor is nice the food was fantastic and the only downside is the price saying that it is a fair price for the quality of food and not particularly expensive. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a slightly upscale dining experience with the budget to pay 20 to 30 dollars per entre. Just a great experience the wait staff was friendly and I would thoroughly recommend.
White goose bistro is PG's best fine dining experience. It focuses on what truly matters, an expansive menu, amazing entrees, wonderful service and a great wine selection. We've had a waitress named Sara on several occasions and she is brimming with a "joie de vie" that is so refreshing and fun. I've now tried the duck and the lamb and both were fantastic. I can't wait to go back and try something else.
As usual food and service was excellent!
Fantastic food...excellent service. Always great value compared to the quantity of food you get on the plate. Love the environment and always have left overs to take home????
Great service, greaaat food.
Great food for a great price and service was amazing
Lunch
You made evening perfect. Food was great. Chicken oscar and chicken parmesan. Enough for 2 meals!!! Thank you. PS you brought your Dad out of retirement to be your delivery man!?? !!!!????
Great food, nice wine selection, not too busy but reservation are best
Great food, friendly service, good value
Good food. Service is decent. Smallish restaurant so it can be difficult and crowded when there for a staff party. Otherwise not a bad place for dinner out.
Food was tastey, fairly priced. Service was quick and friendly. I would definitely go back
One of my local favs. Great staff and food us delicious
Great food, service and price
Excellent service amazing menu and delicious food thanks for a great night out
Food is delicious, outdoor patio was quite nice!
Best lunch in town! from Stiker Plumbing & Heating Ltd.
Ordered fish and chips and the fish was inedible ... way to overcooked... second order came way too late... time to get back to work. They did not charge for that order.
Polenta to start and chicken cordon bleu with garlic mashed potatoes for the main. Absolutely delicious!
Well I've been here before for a company dinner (2 years ago) and it was amazing. Both service and food. I might have caught them on a off night this time but I don't think my experience was at the same level of their Google rating. They did get us a spot promptly which was nice since it's so tough during covid. However it did take 20 mins to even take our order. The food came quickly but unfortunately our server forgot to have cutlery ready or set. I had the special which the veggies were good, but the Wellington soggy (the outer pastry) and the risotto cake had a thick hard to chew crust. My partner's seafood pasta was overcooked. Both the shrimp and the pasta. This is a nice place with a higher end dining experience. The problem was is after we received the meal..... We never heard from our server again. The price is high, so my food and service need to follow suit.
Good food, very pleasant service
Delicious egg drop soup! A perfect lunch spot or evening spot with perfect white linens and a terrific patio.
Always on point! Never disappoints! Great service!
Food was good!! Service was good!!
Service
Loved the food! Great choices on the menu.
Just ask for the Chefs special recommendation. You will not be disappointed. Guaranteed
I ordered the five course meal and I was not disappointed. From start to finish the meal was quite tasty. Quaint atmosphere and nicely lit.
Went for a nice dinner with my wife on a Saturday night. Place was not busy there were about 4 other tables with customers at them. The AC was on and it was very cold where we were seated; we asked (actually felt like we made a nuisance of ourselves) to have it turned off about four times as it kept getting turned back on. We only had the one course and it took over an hour to get served. I had the beef short ribs that didn’t have any ribs in it for some reason. My wife had a pasta dish. Quality of food was ok but we were cold and annoyed that it took so long to be served. We won’t be back for supper, will try lunch if there is a next time.
Although it was very busy at lunchtime, service could be more professional.
I just spent a week in Prince George, from Vancouver, BC, and had the pleasure of eating here twice. Hands down the best part of the whole trip. Super friendly staff, flawlessly cooked scallops, and the chef even perfected my "between rare & medium rare" request for the steak. Great Food. Great Place!
Excellent food and excellent service ..thank you Sarah and Amber for the wonderful lunch ..I'm STILL full and it's dinner time !
The food was amazing, mouth watering, and delicious. All the portion sizes were huge! They said they don't do anything small.
Love this place. The food is always good, fast and the lunch menu is a great value for money!!
Food and service is always amazing. Thank you
Great service great food!
First time there on Nov.7th/2018 food was super delicious, arrived quickly, service was amazing! I highly recommend!
Delicious food with an excellent atmosphere. Very good pricing for both portion quality and quantity. Will definitely recommend and be returning for more!
Delicious. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Great atmosphere.
AWESOME!!! Had the two can dine deal. Everything was great, good service, good food, nice place, what more can you ask for. We will be back.
Fantastic food and staff, easily one of the best restaurants in town! Can't wait to try out their brand new patio for dinner!
Great good and excellent service. Great reasonable lunch options and even better dinner.
Great place tucked away by city second hand. Great food excellent and friendly service.
Awesome food, friendly staff that are knowledgeable able the menu. Nice dinner items, a little bit more expensive than your average restaurant, but great quality. Not a ton of seating inside, but it's warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend. Try to Brie it's awesome!
The brie and roasted garlic with toast was missing the garlic and the cheese was not hot. The house salad was missing the pecans and the duck was dry.
Thanks for the free christmas dinner it was probably the best i have ever had but don't tell my family! Was drifting through town, thanks for leaving me with such positive memories of the north.
Slow service and the food was luke warm.
The food here is amazing. We had the 5 course dinner, and every single course was insanely good. We left completely stuffed and the quality and tase was impeccable. All for under $150 for both of us. The service was very good, as it should be considering you're probably spending a few extra dollars if you're dining here. The atmosphere was good as there were only a few tables seated when we got there. One of the things I liked the most is you didn't have music blasting the whole time. Most of the time it was smooth jazzy misic and that created a nice ambience. Will be back for sure.
Great food, great people!
Excellent food with prices that can't be beat. Best choice for lunch or dinner
Was great place to eat both my wife and mine were great meals
Completely horrible services at food truck he skipped us twice
This was out first visit however, definitely not our last. Delightful setting!! Very welcoming staff. Excellent food ...very nicely and uniquely presented. Would highly recommend.
We were at a conference in Prince George and decided to try this restaurant. What a treat! Delicious, well presented, substantial portions made for a great night out. Waitresses are amazing. The chef is so talented. The ambiance is pleasant. The waitress went out of her way to fit us in.
Ok so I went here for father's day with my ol man and was treated to one of the best all around dinning experiences I have ever had. 10/10 will go back and recommend to anyone looking for culinary gem.
It was open and almost made me want to come back
I never expected to find great food like this in PG. There is passion behind these dishes. My husband and I had the 5 course dinner for $70 each (they offer wine pairing for an additional $35 each) and we were so pleasantly surprised. We'll make sure to come here every time we make the drive to town. Simply amazing food and perfect portions. I can't remember the names of the dishes so bare with me. Every dish in the 5 course is a surprise. 1) First dish was a puff pastry type lobster pizza. Amazing first impression. 2) A tomato based, well blended salad, 2 cheeses, balsamic dressing. I enjoyed it overall. 3) A pasta with bison meat. Another amazing dish. 4) Perfectly cooked beef tenderloin on a bed of mashed potatoes with crab and a beautiful sauce on top. The vegetables were delicious as well. 5) Chocolate cake with caramel sauce and ice cream. Seemed like a simple dish, and to be honest, I'm personally not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this... This cake made me fall in love.
Dine in
Absolutely wonderful. Phenomenal flavors, great wine options and fantastic service. Thank you so much. Can't wait to make another visit .
First time there this evening for a pick up order....its awesome! The beef dip(TONS OF FRIES) and the (HUGE) and delicious carbonara. I will be back for sure.
Very good food and a lovely atmosphere! A delicious assortment of food to order from and a quiet and reserved atmosphere to enjoy! The wine selection was impressive as well.
Great people. Delicious food, great prices
Service
What a great place! They were crazy busy but the service was still pretty quick. The ladies working were so nice and very attentive. My boyfriend ordered the bacon cheeseburger but they were out of bacon so they gave it to him for 50% off! We will definitely be back.
Excellent 5 course meal..also been at a wedding you catered too which was extremely well done.
Same experience as John Barfoot. Same platter, steak was a piece of grizzle, cut in half. Scallops were cold, not seared, just bright white. Maybe they were steamed but they were the most bland scallops I have ever tasted, and I enjoy scallop sashimi. The cheese bread appetizer was cooked so poorly that it was cold, and you could see the individual grated cheese on it. Maybe keep it in the oven until the cheese melts? Might be hard for them? waitress was rude and smelled like cigarettes. Wont be going again.
We went to the White Goose Bistro lastnight for an early Valentines dinner with another couple. The service was absolutely horrible, our server never checked in us for drinks, we had to request refills for drinks, silverware was thrown down on the table, our dinner was just thrown on our table. The dress code for staff should be a little more than yoga pants and leggings. When you are paying $30 plus a plate you would think the service would be outstanding. I would not reccomend this restaurant just based on service alone. The food was very good. Thank you for the delicious Seafood pasta. You would think in this day age with small businesses suffering hardship, they would make sure they were in their "A" game.
Always a wonderful dining experience!...great staff, fabulous food, comfortable atmosphere!
Delicious food, but strangely hostile staff. As much as I enjoy the menu, when I eat here I always get the impression that I've offended the staff somehow.
Amazing food, great service, and the creative specials
Great service and excellent meals.
Service was great!! Food was even better
Had the lamb, it was pretty good but not cheap. Atmosphere is pretty basic.
The place looks awesome! And the food, always the best.
A bit overrated however it’s possible we went in on a bad night. Table was wobbly, service was quite slow, food was sub-par. My chicken breast was freezer burnt and my scallops were way over cooked. Worth giving another try and I’ll update this if the second experience is better.
Great cozy little place to enjoy lunch or dinner.
Absolutley amazing, Exceptional service and even better food
Great place for eat in or take away lunch!
Amazing meal - seafood bruschetta, prawns and shrimp, Basil and tomatoes, balsamic reduction dancing in each bite. The main was black cod finished with rosemary brown butter, perfection. The cod was accompanied by a risotto patty that was both moist and crunchy - totally unique in my experience! I finished the meal with a warm chocolate cake, smothered in butter pecan sauce and ice cream. It was a no phone dinner or I would have taken pictures. ????????
Not the best known place but well worth the visit. The best food I've had in al long time definitely somewhere that I will come back too. The prices are good compared to portions
Above average as described by other folks here. Most of the food was good, unfortunately I had raw puff pastry in my leg of lamb Wellington which the staff were kind enough to address. Otherwise a small and ambient establishment, definitely worth a visit.
The restaurant is nice and menu is good . But the food is average , I didn't like their preparation . They can use fresh ingredients to make it more flavourful . From my first dining experience , I won't be returning to this place .
I was very excited to come here since I've heard great things but it just wasn't good. The service was mediocre, not that nice of a lady and the food was not tasty at all. I ordered the truffle pesto pasta and there was absolutely no flavour, extremely bland, and the chicken had no seasoning whatsoever. Also, the sauce was overflowing so the pasta was basically a soup cause they didn't reduce it properly. The fact that I spent $80 on something so bad was really upsetting. Super disappointed in this place.
Absolutely beautiful gourmet experience in a cozy little corner of downtown PG. Perfect date night spot as there is an option for a 5 course meal and private seating. Food is amazing and fresh. Has fried pickles. Highly recommend.
