This place is a neighborhood gem! Quality of food, taste and presentation are top notch! If I could, I would’ve ordered everything from the menu. Bourbon Cafe is a true representation of authentic Serbian and Eastern Europen cuisine. Dishes simply burst with flavour, quality and freshness, followed by professional and friendly service. Will definitely come back!

We had dinner before a concert a few blocks away. We shared two entrees and still brought home leftovers. Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin with thick cut potato “chips” was delicious. We also had the “chicken and mushrooms in a creamy sauce”. That description does not do justice to the dish at all. I don’t know what the sauce ingredients were, but we soaked up as much as we could with the fresh, warm, bread that was soft, chewy and a little smoky. We brought the bread home, too. The service was warm and friendly. Finish your meal with the quince brandy. We will return to this quirky little gem for sure.

I enjoyed the place, it’s kind of a throwback. However, my salmon was terrible. It was kind of breaded and hard as a rock. It does not say that’s how it will be prepared. Also, very expensive for what I got. Very friendly waiter!
