NIKO’S BISTRO // Did you know Kensington has been home to @nikosbistro for over 19 years? Niko, the owner, moved to Canada in search of a better life and after a few years succeeded in his dream of owning a restaurant. That dream now exists as @nikosbistro. The bistro offers dinner, wine and a dessert menu. Think Italian-style meals like pasta, bruschetta and risotto, all made with love at this family-run eatery. The friendly owners and staff make you feel right at home. Pop by and enjoy the comforting atmosphere that makes this place so special!
