Reviews of Bistro Kapzak (Restaurant)

Ron Dagenbach

It's seems to be Polish but it's not very Polish... Menu has plenty of mistakes and some of the positions must have been translated with Google's cause they made no sense. Food was good. Polish names and some variation of real polish dishes. Worth to visit but if you are Polish and you miss your home and food, don't expect to feel like your mom was cooking.

(Translated) Very nice discovery. Polish / Quebec fusion cuisine. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is pleasant. We tried a table d'hôte 4 tapas and dessert. It allows you to try a lot of different dishes. (Original) Très belle découverte. Cuisine fusion polonais/québécois. Le service est impeccable et l'ambiance était agréable. Nous avons essayé une table d'hôte 4 tapas et dessert. Ça permet d'essayer plein de plats différents.

Refined Polish cuisine. Original, delectable dishes, beautifully presented . Great service and fine wine. Sorely lacking were salads in entrées as well as vegetables in main dishes (2 asparagus spears or 4 halved figs are insufficient accompaniments). Otherwise, a lovely restaurant providing lots of creativity and flair. Really worth the trip. presented

5 Stars cuz i cant give more but if i Could give 10 i would!!!! I drove 1h from Mtl to eat here and they didnt disappoint... Everything is very refined and dishes are as beautiful as they are delicious... Read the menu i cant go through all of it but i promise everything is Phenomenal....This is LIKE a 3 star Michelin Resto all day long....P.S Canada has No Michelin Star Restos....Ya so we don't eat on 1000$ Table Cloths and don't have stuck up waiters names Jean Pierre who look at your shoes be4 they talk to you if thats what Michelin is France can keep the Stars....Im inventing a new scale just for Canadian Restaurants called.. Northern Lights.. If Chuck Huges is a 5 N.Lights...Then Jason Kacpzack is a 4 N.Lights working toward a 5 very soon ....They have a pretty good wine list Their deserts are really Good..Try the Cigar its actally served in an ashtray with Hay Ice Cream....Need i say More....

Nice place, excellent service, very good food. I will visit Bistro Kapzak again for sure. Portion isn't very big, but very good quality.

If you're reading this and considering other locations for a nice dinner, don't. This will be one of the most unique dining experiences you've ever had. The service, phenomenal. The food, authentic old country Poland meets modern methods of pairing and presentation. Decor, unique and rustic. Our table had the assortment platter of meats, pickled items, and a shot of lemongrass infused vodka. We also had two perogie appetizers, one with a bechamel sauce and one with caramelized onions and a fried. I recommend both. For main course everyone else had the burgers which were delicious. I felt for pork and opted for the pork chop with zucchini and sweet potato latkes. Delicious would be an understatement. The pork was seasoned to perfection and the latkes were an excellent compliment. All in all. Do yourself a favor and eat at what I consider to be the best resto in Sherbrooke, you won't be disappointed.

Some of the best unique cocktails I've ever enjoyed, and service at the bar was great. Will certainly return whenever I'm in town.

The expectations for this particular establishment certainly came in high based on the reviews. Unfortunately, this was quite a disconnect from our reality, and I appreciate the attempt at mixing culinary cultures, but this one left me feeling dead inside. For a family of three our meals set us back $100 CAD - no drinks included as waiter forgot to bring the beer we ordered (seems to be a reoccurring thing). Apart from this the atmosphere was quite enticing and pleasant.

Bernhard Friesacher

Redeemed itself, food was delicious, staff was friendly and attentive. Venue is great, I'll definitely be back again soon.

I went at lunchtime today and did not have the same experience as the other reviews. I had high hopes due to reviews and recommendations, but it ended up being very underwhelming: 1) Service, while nice enough, was ridiculously slow. There were maybe 7 other diners in the entire restaurant, and I had to wait 20 minutes for the waiter to take my order, and 15 from the time I asked for the cheque to when I could finally pay. He'd disappear in the kitchen for 5-10 minutes at a time. 2) I ordered a beer, which never arrived. I double-checked to make sure I wasn't charged for it. 3) 15 minutes after ordering, the waiter returned and said they didn't have the vegetarian sausage after all. When I asked if they had any other vegetarian meals, he offered the fish (!). Last time I checked, fish don't grow on trees. 4) He offered to bring me the rest of my plate but without the sausage. I asked if he would discount it since, you know, half of it was missing. He said he couldn't do that, but would bring a bigger portion. 5) When my plate came, it was not a bigger portion. There was risotto and vegetables, which were just OK, and an empty space where the sausage would have been. I don't know if the service, kitchen and attitude are completely transformed at dinner vs lunch, but this was a pretty terrible lunch experience. There are half a dozen better places for lunch within walking distance, go there. I'd give one star, but the extra star is because the place is nice, and they leave you with a whole carafe of water, not just refill your glass. Good thing too, or you'd probably wait ages for that as well.

Great food execution. Great table service. Would go back for sure.

Olaf de Winter

This was a delightful experience all around. The service was friendly and efficient. The meals had beautiful polish roots with a very nice use of local ingredients. The chef is obviously very inventive, but has a healthy respect for tradition. For a modern take on some great polish classic, do yourself a favour and stop by for a meal. Make reservations.

Steven Mansour

Loved the meat plate for 2

Matt Getz

Great food but the prices are a bit high for the quantity

Caroline Tousignant

(Translated) 2021-03: After all these years, always new things or revisited classics. We can't get enough of it! ---------- Still as good. We got to know Kapzak in Sherbrooke and they knew how to remain authentic by moving to Granby. Service always very courteous and warm. Menu according to the seasons. Diversified and always well balanced alcoholic drinks. Selection of imported wines and more. (Original) 2021-03: Après toutes ces années, toujours des nouveautés ou des classiques revisités. On ne peut s'en lasser! ---------- Toujours aussi bon. Nous avons connu Kapzak à Sherbrooke et ils ont su rester authentique en déménageant à Granby. Service toujours très courtois et chaleureux. Menu au gré des saisons. Boissons alcoolisées diversifiées et toujours bien équilibrées. Sélection de vins importés et plus encore.

Mathieu Guay

Delicious desert with a very original presentation! Loved it!

Sebastien Binette

The salad is uniquely good! My husband had pork ribs, which were excellent, he said, but a little pricey (CAD $23).

Jean-Francois Lavigne

Awesome food. A must stop for dinner. Worth the drive from Montreal or surrounding area.

(Translated) We went there on weekdays (Tuesday) at 12, the restaurant was already quite busy. We were put on the terrace and despite the light rain, we were pleasantly covered. The menu is succinct and the prices reasonable. The portions are fair and the decoration of the dishes very well executed. We all priced different dishes. The ribs seemed to have been the best choices, the fries were well seasoned and the meat of the rib stood out on its own. Despite all these good points, the experience was marred by the total lack of salt in the dishes, the beautifully cooked fish turned out to be bland, the langoustine underwent the same treatment… the duck… in short, disappointing. The salt wasn't even on the table (we could have asked and didn't.). The service was flawless, quick and courteous, they answered all our questions with a smile. A great experience overall, marred by the lack of seasoning. (Original) Nous y sommes allé en semaine (mardi) à 12 ,le restaurant était déjà bien occupé. On nous a mis sur la terrasse et malgré la légère pluie, nous avons été agréablement couvert. Le menu est succinct et les prix raisonnables. Les portions sont honnêtes et la décoration des plats très bien exécuté. Nous avons prix tous des plats différents. Les cotes levées semblent avoir été les meilleurs choix, les frites étaient bien assaisonnées et la chair de la cote levée se détachait toute seul. Malgré tous ces bons points, l’expérience fut gâchée par le manque totale de sel dans les plats, le poisson magnifiquement cuit se trouva être fade, la langoustine subit le même traitement … le canard … bref décevant. Le sel n’était même pas présent sur la table (nous aurions pu demandé et ne l’avons pas fait.). Le service quand à lui était sans défaut, rapide et courtois, ils ont répondu à tous nos questions avec le sourire. Une belle expérience overall, entaché par le manque d’assaisonnement.

Maxime Côté Lévesque

OK food.

SuperBeagh

The food was excellent and the beverages of the utmost quality. Our waitress was so kind and fun to talk to. The mood of the place was fun and the inside decors were charming. We were three friends and we ask for the typical Polish meal and our waitress, which I forgot to mention was the owner of the restaurant, brought a huge plate of sausages, ribs, and "bavette de" beef. It was one of the most memorable moments in a restaurant. Thank you to the chef and to the owners for this incredible experience.

Kat Wong

Service was great and the food was delicious. We particularly loved the scallop tartar!! Supposedly they're known for their cocktails, so we of course ordered the Smokey old fashioned. It was honestly delicious and well - balanced.

Jean-Philippe Mailloux

We had an astonishingly good meal with fantastic service! The boudin was to die for!

Michael Salvato

Attractive menu choices and private importation wine list make Kapzak a must in Granby.We shared an the pierogies appetizer which was succulent and enjoyed the pork chop with apple garnish as well as a fine duck breast for our main courses. Service by a sincere young lady was mostly good except when her colleague forgot to bring a second wine glass upon request.Nonetheless,all in all, a great discovery.

Sophie Carron

(Translated) Superb evening with the family. I hated my meal, which I only took one bite of, but it's a matter of taste and the restaurant didn't charge me. Super friendly service although slow at times. (Original) Superbe soirée avec la famille. J'ai détesté mon repas dont je n'ai pris qu'une seule bouchée mais c'est une question de goût et le resto ne m'a pas fait payer. Super service amical bien que slow par moment.

Eric Parent

one of the top restaurants in Granby.

Eric Clark

Our party of four really enjoyed our dinner. Appetizers were fabulous and our meals (the cod, the pork, the duck) were very tasty. Never noticed this restaurant in Granby. The 5 of us tried it last weekend and were really impressed. Price is good and the presentation and taste are top notch. Everything we tried is wonderful!

Kyran Griffiths

Went with my partner, the service is brilliant and the cocktails we ordered were lovely. The bar tender was also running tables and working the floor alone and did an amazing job. The food however missed a lot both my dish and partners was overly salty and lacking in flavour and style. My ravioli was slightly under cooked while giving minimal amount of duck possible for what seemed to be a duck fronted dish. Over all the dish was weird, I could see what the cook was trying to do with the pickles to cut through the dish and add some brightness but just didn't work ended up giving the dish weird flavour profile and bad presentation for what should be a very easy dish to do well. My partner ordered the Risotto which seemed to be more of a fried rice vibe to it, the tofu in the dish was dry and flavourless, the tempura broccoli was good part of it but also pushes the point of they should've just gone for a fried rice dish with the flavour profiles they were adding. We will probably go back again but only for drinks.

Luis A.

Extraordinary food prepared with artfulness and care. Real foodies need to put this on their radar. Underpriced for the quality. Great cocktails too.

Wade Miller

Good Atmosphere and good food This is a polish themed restaurant, though there appears to be some dishes that were adapted (such as a hamburger with a Polish flair). I had the Spazle and found it very good. I understand that the bar tender is known for his concoctions, though I didn't try them. The deserts have a bit of pizazz, too, with chocolate cream wraps made to look like cigars. The atmosphere is good. Importantly, it is one of the few restaurants open on Tuesdays.

Arnaud Lafortune

Epic gastronomic menu !

Luc Bisaillon

Excellent restaurant we had a great time. Service was spot on. With a few exception. During the main cour I order a second glass of with and he arrived after my meals. Which is a little awkward when the timing is with the dessert. Perogi is definitely the entry you should go for the portion although is quite small 3 pieces for 9$. But it was so good that its worth it. Main meal (macreuse de boeuf) was overcooked and for my partners lambs a little bit dry. Food **** Service **** Ambience *****

Jean-Nicolas Levesque

(Translated) Good value for money. Beautiful discoveries. Several dishes will offer you surprises. For example, borscht is more of a compote than a soup, the black forest is more of a sherbet than a cake. (Original) Bon rapport qualité prix. Belles découvertes. Plusieurs plats vous offriront des surprises. Par exemple, le bortsch est plus une compote qu'une soupe, le forêt noire est plutôt un sorbet qu'un gâteau.

Suzie Rivard

(Translated) Nice place. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food and cocktails are excellent. Unfortunately, the service is long. But we enjoyed our visit. Thanks! ❤ (Original) Bel endroit. Belle ambiance. Personnel sympathique. La nourriture et cocktails sont excellents. Malheureusement, le service est long. Mais nous avons aimé notre visite. Merci!❤

Bill Sieg

Best restaurant I know. Everything is so meticulously prepared and the service is the best. The food is uuuhmmm.

Alexandre Bérubé

The Bistro Kapzak definitely knows how to stand out. Whether it's its unique Polish and Quebec fusion cuisine, Chef Jason Kapzack's passion for cocktails and local produce or their conviviality, which is no longer to prove after the restaurant's 7th anniversary. As if it was not enough, the Chef offers, about once a month, a special menu pairing with a wine or spirits that is close to his heart. I had the chance to participate in the last evening chef à table when Jason concocted a 5 course menu paired with the wines of the piemontese house Pelissero. The previous editions honored the Macallan Scotches or the Tuscan wines from the Tunia estate. Pelissero is a claimed modernist when it comes to winemaking technique, the use of casks and barriques and style in its wines. Located in the district of Treiso,one of the four key barbaresco communes, the 38 hectares of Pelissero is divised between 5 vineyards : Vanotu, Tulin, Piani, Augenta and Munfrina. The production is concentrated between their Barbaresco, Barbera and Dolcetto, but they also make Freisa, Favorita and Moscato. Overall, the wines shows great balance but especially a sleek and elegant style. From the fruity Dolcetto to the perfumed Tulin Barbaresco made from rocky soils, the wines all have the same dedicated delicacy. The pairings were elaborated and explained by Jason himself, always with a precision in his descriptions. A delicious duck tartare to start with a homemade cocktail. The second service, a veal tenderloin with cherries and plum puree worked particularly well with the Dolcetto d'Alba, Munfrina 2016. Then, a Polish version of a cheese and mushroom risotto surprised us all by its quality and delicious flavors, followed by a simple roast lamb and barbaresco Nebiula and Tulin. The great meal ended with the cheesecake with crispy dark chocolate and tiramisu. A true delight. Did you know that most of the vegetables used at Bistro Kapzak come directly from the large and abundant vegetable garden of his parents? More than just local products, they are family products and an opportunity that few craftspeople are lucky enough to have.

Incredible food with such a variety of flavors and great quality for a very reasonable price. Service was also excellent!

(Translated) The cocktail game is super varied, the starters are rich in flavor and the main meal is something for everyone. We took the plate with chicken, beef, duck, sausage, etc. and it was great. The desserts are not amazing. (Original) La game de cocktail est super variée, les entrées sont riches en saveurs et le repas principal sont pour tous les goûts.
