Bistro 694
694 Memorial Ave. V9K 1T7 Qualicum Beach, BC, Canada

Success! A big thank you to Jenny, Stephanie, & Linda for managing to capture little "Caruso" (we named him after opera singer Enrico Caruso, because he's got quite a set of pipes!). He's off to CatSpan, then hopefully this little beauty will find his forever home. Good luck, Caruso!!!

This little guy (girl?) was hanging around our parking lot when we closed up tonight. Absolutely ravenous, very skittish, and just a baby - maybe 5 months old? We gave him/her a big chicken dinner, fresh water, but she wouldn't let us get close enough to grab her. If anyone is missing this little cutie, please message us, we'll see if she's still around the parking lot tomorrow.

**Lost Mountain Bike Tire** One of our guests tonight accidentally left their mountain bike tire on the side of the road this afternoon, near T.O.S.H. It's a 29 inch tire, with disc brake. If anyone happened upon it and is wondering where it belongs, please contact Bistro 694 and we'll help get it back to them Thanks!!!

10 Years!!!!! Yup, 10 years ago this week we opened Bistro 694 - time sure flies! We are so grateful for all the support we've had over this past decade (omg, "decade" sounds like such a long time!). Our customers are an amazing bunch - so many of you have become friends, and truly are almost like family. It's been an absolute pleasure serving you all, and we look forward to many more years to come! Cheers, Nancy & Tony

Had an excellent (socially distanced) trip to the Okanagan last week! Lots of great discoveries - we've already added several new wines to our list, with more to come soon. This week's feature wine: Corcelettes Estate Winery's Gewurztraminer - a perfect match for our Balinese Prawn Curry!

**Re-opening soon** - So excited to be allowed to re-open the doors to Bistro 694, now that restrictions have eased! We can't wait to reconnect with everyone, and are looking forward to celebrating summer with you in the best (and safest) way we can. We don't yet have an official re-opening date, but we anticipate it will be mid-late June. Lots to do in the meantime, implementing social distancing protocols. We'll have a firm reopening date in the next week or two; we'll be able to take reservations at that time. Stay tuned!! A huge thank you to everyone for your support over this difficult time - we are really looking forward to welcoming you back to the Bistro soon! Stay safe, and see you soon - Nancy & Tony

Tonight's dinner - Quiche with wild mushrooms, spinach, fresh chives and tarragon! No calories if you eat it standing up

Chive flowers looking beautiful on the Bistro patio - can't wait to be welcoming guests out there again. We miss you all! We're anticipating being able to reopen mid June-ish . . . looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Stay tuned, stay safe!

Tonight's dinner - lobster!!!! Creole sauce with leeks, fennel, and new potatoes. Yum. Maybe a new special when we re-open . . . ?
