Reviews of Stella's Wine Bar - Picton (Coffee Shop)

Melissa Ore

Delicious food - great for sharing! My fave was the Ricotta Dumplings... absolutely mouthwatering.

Melanie Dailey

Amazing food, service, atmosphere. Great cocktails and incredible wine list. Can't ask for anything more!!

Camille Roy

Such a cute tiny place! Service was incredible and so was the food. Hidden gem!

Claire Lam

Perfect balance with complex textures! Such a treat. We started with the endivesalad which was out of this world delicious - crunchy, sweet, salty and Smokey all rolled into an end I've heart. The roasted pecans just give it the hint of smoke it needed to round it all off. The risotto stole the show, creamy yet subtly fresh. Sweetness of the squash cut through the heaviness of the rice and the truffles still came through brightly. Scallops were cooked perfectly. Kimchi added the acidity needed to pull everything in and the saltiness of the bacon was gave the richness. Finally, the peach cobbler was a nice final touch to our meal. Not overly sweet, reduced blueberry compote to just drive it home. Overall, a must try if you're in Picton.

We were so lucky as restrictions had lifted the day before for restaurants. Patios only and after a great afternoon around the area we decided to go for a late dinner. We discovered this place while not taking reservations was open for dining. We heard later from the chef that they decided only to open up at 730 pm and were short staffed. We were lucky to get the last table before the wait list started. So lucky as the wine and food paired so well with each other. Four dishes were perfect for us and we dove into each delicious dish as they came. Highly recommend when you are in the area to make this a stop. They not only use a farm to table approach with local ingredients but their menu changes frequently based on the ingredients they can get. Check their website for the current menus.

We went there for lunch during a week-end visit to PEC. The venue is small and also sells some food products. The food was amazing though. They have a Chef that is really passionate about her craft. We ordered a couple of appetizer/salads and two mains and all of them, without exception, were very delicious with excellent presentation. In fact, and after tasting the first dishes, I ordered wild rice risotto just to have another experience of the food and it was also amazing. The chef really has a unique take on foods, even salads and it shows in the quality and taste. This is a surprising gem of a restaurant in a small town.

Geoff Langdon

Fantastic experience. The food was the star. It's tapas style with different share plates. The star of our particular selections were the scallops on cauliflower puree, with a close second being the corn fritters. In these Covid-times, the only seating was a back patio but the service didn't suffer. They don't take reservations so get there early! Best wishes to the staff at this great restaurant.

Andrea Ross

Inspired, creative, and tasty food. Excellent yet down to earth service. Cute spot with nice decor. We loved every thing we had from their menu and drink menu. To top it off, they are good people and support local producers. So easy to recommend enthusiastically.

Rebecca Cooper Traynor

We have been a few times but recently we ordered for NYE, and it was great! Menu for the evening was lovely and of course the staff where gracious and helpful. Always recommend this great spot!

Mélissa D

Vince F

Very tasty dishes. The freshness is obvious with the first bite. The staff is friendly, informative and knowledgable. Service was very efficient.

Katie K

Omg unreal food!!! I could eat there every day!!

Ahmad Ayyub

We stumbled upon this place by accident and it was a fantastic find. The food was excellent and the presentation was spectacular. Access to their patio is through the alley next to Vic's. The restaurant does not take reservations and they have a limited number of tables outside. It does get a bit sunny on their patio in the afternoon.

Sandra Burton

The food was excellent and the service was friendly and prompt. I would definitely go back!!

Cris Meillon

Stella's has delicious food, and a fabulous wine and beer menu. The music is always great, the staff is friendly, and the most bomb chef in the county cooks up a constantly changing menu.

Mike Daigle

Favorite place to eat in prince Edward. First, the waitress Rosalie was super cool and friendly. Food is soooo fresh and creative and inspired. The plate with the beets was so impressive how much flavor they were able to put in just beets. A lot of passion in the little place. When we go back this is the first place we’ll go back to eat.

Andrea Maier

I loved this place! I came here with my mum while on a short getaway and loved every dish that we chose. Of course I have to give a shout out to our lovely server Tes, she was amazing! Definitely recommending this place to all my friends if they are in the area! Can't wait to visit again!

Julia Keys

Absolutely delicious food and incredible service. The bison tartar and ricotta dumplings were our favourite, but everything was incredible.

Robyne Hudson

Went for dinner last night with four girlfriends and we were not disappointed. We got 10 sharing plates between us and every one was delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. Amazing atmosphere outside on the patio. Would definitely go back over and over.

Joanie Levasseur

Different menu everyday as I understand it. Very kind and professional approach. We shared different plate, they were all fantastic. Tasty, different, well presented. I recommend 100%

Robin Urekar

Wow, nothing but praise for Stella's Eatery. What a gem of a restaurant, with a talented hospitality team. The wine list is fun and funky, with great by the glass options. The menu is eclectic with impressive flavours, variety and portions. Staff was warm, knowledgeable and fun. Can't say enough good things. We'll be back at every opportunity. Thanks again for a memorable evening.

Antonio Augusto Maranhao

Very friendly service and the food was delicious.

Marie Vannest

We had the duck confit and it was exquisite, add that to a great atmosphere and service means a great experience all around!

Chad Buell (& Associates Inc)

Absolutely fantastic food. Small quaint venue the truly puts the effort into making a fantastic dish regardless of what you order. Don't be in a rush as this is the perfect spot to sit, have a conversation, and sharing a great meal. Wine menu is impressive as well. Make sure to find this place well you are in Picton you won't regret it.

Daisy Kuan

The kale salad was amazing. Staff super friendly and attentive.

Domenic Mastrullo

Inevitably every time we go back to the County we make sure to go to Stella's. The menu changes... The quality and execution stays incredibly top notch! I don't know how much you can trust a review on line but I will say I don't write many of these and I am writing this (if anything I should have ALREADY written one)! Located behind/beside the Bean Counter cafe go as early as you can. The high level of cuisine and freshness of the ingredients means the sell outs happen fast. Enjoy!

Christine Smith

We so enjoyed our February visit to this cozy, inviting spot. Loved the small plates menu---especially the mackeral cakes, mussels, and the short rib/potato take on poutine. Excellent service. Welcoming vibe. Good value. Only low note: two of our dishes were served a bit lukewarm. Suggestion: ensure entrees are hotter when served and/or warm up the serving plates.

Veronica Rondinone

Great tapas style restaurant. Come here with a couple friends and try everything ! They even have a great drink selection.

Cindy Jiang

Love in every bites! Amazing food, fresh & tasty. Friendly staff. Order everything on the menu !! Highly recommended :D

Paul Russell

Great food, full of wonderful flavours. Friendly service and lovely atmosphere. Wine list has a good combination of local and imported labels.

Calvin deGroot

A really awesome restaurant. Cocktails and food were delicious, staff were friendly and welcoming.

Sanna Broyad

Had dinner there last night with my husband and it was really good. Good service & nice place!! Not seen from the main street but a great find through google maps.

Yves Raymond

They have 4.9 stars and i understand why. Beautiful settings. Excellent food. Great service.

Raquel David

I enjoyed dinner at Stella's because the service was great. Restaurant was very hot, uncomfortably hot! My dish, the gnocchi, was only ok; they tasted as if a lot of flour was added to the recipe and the sauce was watery and bland. Presentation of dishes was not appealing. Good bar selection and cute decor.

Danielle Campana

Food here is excellent. Great small plates to share. Lots of vegetarian options and meat options alike. Focused on local ingredients and eclectic recipes. Menu changes all the time, we have now visited twice and really enjoyed both experiences. Service is great. Wine lis is awesome. Focused on natural, organic wines from all over- local and international- a great way to try something new if you are confused just ask they can recommend. Don't ask for an LCBO Cab Sauv, thats not what the list is about! Great craft beers and a cute patio. Foodies this is a hidden gem of Picton.

Riley Armstrong

The food was beyond our expectations - better than any meal I've had in Toronto. We ate there the very next Saturday.

Tony Samra

Amazing ambiance and even better staff. The food is amazing for the entire family even the kids. This place is a must

Alana M

Had an amazing evening with friends! Super friendly and helpful staff. Food was amazing and so were the drinks! A must if you are in the area! Love the atmosphere and the menu on the huge chalk board!

Ziad Saab

An eclectic menu with a wonderful selection of local beers and wines. Get there early for the best possible experience!

Julie Nguyen Minh

We walked by this restaurant without any reservation on a Sunday night and no clue of what it was and this was a very impressive experience. The ardoise showed a very diversified menu. My husband, our friends couple and I enjoyed every meal we shared and the staff was welcoming. Thanks!

Olga Vankevich

Fish and ricotta dumplings are the best

Littlejohn Farm

Awesome neighborhood spot with great food and a cool wine list! Service is always friendly and attentive! The menus change regularly which keeps things super fresh. A must try for a small group of friends visiting Picton and looking for a place with a comfortable vibe.

Thierry Faure

Good service. We had two glasses of wine. The wine was ok but it was served in water glasses...

Trisha Rodricks

This place is newer, but they've already got it together. Missing it would be sob-worthy. They're essentially everything cool, without trying to be. They just are who they are, and it works. Team of incredible bada$$ women. Menu that changes, and is loaded with full flavour. Drink selection is YUP, and the overall vibe will have you feeling chill and content. Grab a bevvie and a few plates, you're gonna have a good time.

Ethan Gill

Such a great place! was at Stella's Eatery this past weekend... great food and very friendly staff, Super clean too. When you go you must try the oysters from P.E.I :)

Anthony Leong

Tucked off of Main St in Picton, we heard of this place by word of mouth. The steak with the mustard and brandy sauce is amazing, as is the pork belly and spicy greens.

Phil Kidd

Great food and quick service. During high season though, get there by 530 to get seated, or you may be waiting an hour or more to get in.

Traci DiBattista

Awesome food and a very knowledgeable server!!

Claudine Guerin

It was amazing and delicious. The staff is friendly and culinary staff so talented . We will absolutely be back !!

Evan MacG

We spent a long weekend in PEC. We are from Montreal and are typically blessed with great restaurants. That being said, this place was perfect! The food is some of the best, if not the best, that we've ever had! The chef considers every ingredient that goes into each dish, all the flavours are there for a reason and work perfectly together. Well thought out menu that is fresh and properly seasoned. Absolutley incredible!!!

한수경

Excellent food with friendly staff

Peter

Great comfort food in a nice atmosphere.

Jody Mitchell

Wonderful selection of local libations!

Andrew Johnston

This is by far my favourite restaurant in the County. With an ever changing menu, of locally inspired cuisine, everything is delicious, presented simply but elegantly, and well thought out. And while Chef Leah always hits the mark, the service from Rosalie and the other staff members is first rate. It’s a funky spot, very relaxed, and never disappoints. Anyone concerned about how warm it is, or if their plate is hot might want to stick to McDonald’s. Try this place. It’s a must.

Scott Burton

A variety of dishes served Tapas style. All were extremely tasty, especially when combined with a local ale. The server was knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. Highly recommend!

Heather Inglis Baron

What a terrific place! We had a delicious dinner of shared small plates including a pate platter, ricotta dumplings, beet and tahini salad and duck breast with lentils. Pavlova for dessert. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious! The staff and chef were all amazing! The restaurant was very cozy with a great atmosphere. We're looking forward to returning.

Ping Pai

Great food, great atmosphere and service. Every dish was tasty and interesting. Even the beer was good and quite unique. Highly recommended!

Lexie N

We went on a Monday night and oh man were they busy! For a table for 2, we waited an hour and 15 minutes - but it was absolutely worth it. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the food was absolutely amazing. We will 100% be returning.

Douglas Baird

Good food but the place is small and we didn't have the best service!

Mary Wood

There is no place like STELLAS. Seriously. This is the gem of PEC and I haven’t met anyone who thinks any differently. Anytime I have friends in town I send them to Stella’s and I know they are going to be taken care of and have the best food, service, wine... all of it is perfect. Leah is the best cook, so humble and kind, so remarkably talented. Rosalie is my favourite human in the world, her taste in all things wine is unparalleled and together they have created pure magic. Don’t call to make a reservation, they don’t take them, just walk right up and if it’s full get a drink and a bite at another amazing spot in town and head back for the main event. It’s worth the wait ????

Laura Fraixanet

Nice patio, kind staff, fantastic food and wine selection. I'm so happy the Chef decided on sheep brie instead of cow's as I'm lactose intolerant myself, this made my day

Caroline Shenouda

Just ate here tonight. Great service, funky setting, fabulous food. We got 7 menu items for five people and it was plenty. Everything was fantastic. We were so impressed and wanted to take everything home that we could buy. Highly recommend this place.

Michelle E

Fantastic food, dishes are next level. Big kudos to the kitchen, we will be back!

Tim McKenna

Delicious interesting inventive food (that isn't just a weirdly different bizarre fusion confusion). Prepared and presented at a high caliber. Start with the ricotta dumplings with Swiss chard pesto and go from there.

Mark Madsen

Another amazing meal at Stella's. Chef Leah and Rosalie once again made us feel at home. Food is delicious!

Jennie Bonzai

This is my favorite restaurant, each plate is so unique and you can feel the love that goes in it. Attention to detail in the food, the service, the ambience. Everytime I come they make me feel like home. The amazing women that make this place are so talented.

Nick Byam

My partner and I visited Stella's eatery while on a weekend trip to Prince Edward County and after looking around for a bit decided on Stella's because of one of the staff's friendly welcome. The patio is quaint but spacious with great attentiveness to the comfort of the guests. After being seated, Gillan made great strides to ensure we were introduced to the awesome food and drink options, even going as far to give some context on each brewery that they offered as their selection. The tapas were perfectly portioned with incredible and and robust flavour profiles, you can tell that the Chefs really put a lot of thought into the the dishes. Stella's was the first place we went after the restrictions lifted and it was one of the most memorable experiences we've had a in a long time, I would fully recommend this little gem to anybody visiting Picton! Big shout out to Gillan because he was really cool!

Melissa M

The food here is unreal. They are so good at coming up with unique flavours for their menu. It’s also nice that the menu changes so frequently, with it being written on a blackboard each day. Would highly recommend eating here!

Sonia Ngo

Great food and lovely service.......deserves 5 stars or more. Innovative menu that puts Picton on the culinary map.

Dat Tran

Wonderful service! Excellent food! I had the Chicken Liver Mousse (my favorite dish that night), Cauliflower Fritters (perfectly executed, light and yet the batter was fully cooked throughout), Ricotta Dumplings (not a huge fan of cheese but I could see why do many people love this dish), and Pork Belly (slightly disappointed as I was really looking forward to this dish but the meat was slightly on the dry side). The service was excellent and they were super careful with COVID protocols. I would definitely recommend Stella's to anyone wanting an excellent dinner in Picton!

Clare Semes

Great food & friendly staff. Definitely coming back all the food was so good!

Vanessa Spataro

Loved every dish we had here. Everything is carefully curated and delicious. will not disappoint

Marie Clements-Baker

Really quaint, cozy little place! Food was delicious and unique. Service was great and the atmosphere was awesome including low tone folk music that totally added to ambience. The rabbit was delicious and the bo ssan was incredibly tasty! Was a great valentine/family day dinner date :-)

courtney mintz

Incredible food with small plates meant to share. Changing menu so it’s always different with a few staples. Everything we got was so good and service was good as well.

Anastasia Provias

Amazing food, amazing service. For two people 3-4 dishes to share is sufficient. Highly recommend the pork belly, steak and ricotta dumplings!

Claire Hazan

Amazing delicious food. Wonderful service and cool environment. We had such a great experience here.

Yohann dickies

Very tasty food with a large selection of dishes. It can't be a bad idea to go there.

Laura D

Good vibe, great drink menu, food was tasty. BUT menu was limited and portions are small, even if you are anorexic. Oysters are not worth the price. The 'sharing menu' includes a fillet of fish which doesn't easily divide. Also, if you order bread (which you will want because there isn't a lot of food) they are very clear that they will not provide oil or butter... So BYOButter. Probably best to only go for cocktails and snacks! And to top it all off the server stood on my toe and didn't apologise.

Silvy Mardiguian

Amazing experience, delicious food and great service. The kale salad was so good! Definitely a must try and probably one of the best restaurants in the area.

Kyle Maurice

absolutely amazing, a wonderful host to match the equally wonderful ethos. I would highly reccomend this familair rarity if you want good food, and an even better night.
