Che Restobar — Restaurant in Ontario

Che Restobar in London, Ontario, can be found nestled in the heart of downtown. The interior boasts tasteful decor and thoughtful spacing. While downtown parking is not complimentary, it remains reasonably priced.

The restaurant's staff exude kindness and politeness, though attentiveness may occasionally lag, possibly due to labor shortages. Regrettably, the restroom facilities do not match the restaurant's overall size or quality, lacking both proper design consideration and cleanliness.

Che Restobar's menu is designed to cater to a wide range of tastes, offering a diverse selection of appetizers and straightforward entrees. Our visit was eagerly anticipated, guided by positive reviews.

The appetizer, tacos, impress with their flavor but disappoint with their size, comprising no more than three bites each. At $6, they prove notably smaller than offerings at The Mule. The chips and guacamole, though well-crafted, arrive in petite portions, uncommon for a restaurant.

Entrees, however, leave much to be desired. The chicken enchiladas satisfy the palate but raise concerns about pricing, which I will delve into shortly. The Hanger steak, priced at a steep $29, disappointingly deviates from the expected characteristics of this cut. A true Hanger steak is tender, rich in beefy flavor, and slightly iron-like in taste. It does not command a high price and requires careful trimming. We ordered two of these dishes, and both were astonishingly small. Beyond size, the steak's toughness resembled that of eye of round, far from what a Hanger steak should be. This discrepancy was brought to our server's attention, who regrettably did not address the issue and instead inquired about additional beverage purchases.

Typically, price is not a primary concern when exceptional quality is delivered. Unfortunately, Che Restobar falls short on this front. It represents a complete letdown within its beautifully adorned setting. Departing patrons might genuinely feel shortchanged, especially when considering the subpar...

I am severely disappointed in this restaraunt. Not only was every order wrong, the service was horrible, we were a party of 10+ on a Friday night in an entirely empty restaurant and everything was still garbage. I waited 15 mins for a beer while everyone else had time to finish their wine. The seafood dish I ordered had chicken in it (chicken was not in the menu listing) and not at all what I wanted. The kalmari app assaulted my nose before I even leaned forward to taste it. A friends medium well hanger steak came out bloody as hell. They served both my entree and appetizer AT THE SAME TIME, well ahead of the rest of table, and as I and my significant other left; the last person at the table had received their dinner only moments earlier after we had been there 90 mins+. On top of it all, their horrible service put me past our 2 hour parking limit and I received a $50 ticket. Did I mention we were the ONLY people there too? Lipstick was apparently on a “clean” glass of water that was served to my girlfriend. They had only one heavily burdened waitress try and accomodate the table, but as food kept coming out wrong or poorly cooked, she was easily overwhelmed. If I could give this place zero stars if I would. I had heard good things about this place, but it’s clearly past it’s prime. Do not eat here, you will be disappointed. I would of preferred fast food over this slop.

Update TWO WEEKS LATER: After posting my review and seeing the restaurants response, I messaged them asking who to call. I was given the owners name "Marvin" with a phone number. I called, there was no answer - I left a message. No one called me back. I waited a few days and nothing. I messaged on facebook to follow up, no response. Two weeks later now, Che ResoBar has left me hungry, angry, with a parking ticket, and now has wasted even more of my time. So disappointed. What a...

Living downtown it's hard not to go to the same pub every time you wanna go out for a date night. But we decided enough was enough. We headed to Che Restobar. Having checked the menu prior to determine it was reasonably priced of course. Which it is. We started with drinks; the Cesar and the Mascaras. Which were amazing. The Cesar had tequila in it, giving it a unique flavour without compromising what you expect from a Cesar. The Mascaras was a mint and lime cocktail that on a summer day would probably go down quickly and repeatedly with ease - in a good way. We split the Holy Guacamole and the homemade chips are what you wish corn chips at the store tasted like. The Guacamole was great with the pico de Gallo being a nice addition. The twist was the pomegranate which was subtle but added a nice sweetness to cut the salty of the chips. Never would have considered it but was pleasantly surprised. For Dinner we had the Chicken Enchaladas and the Chorizo Burger. They were both exploding with flavour. The burger was the most delicious I've ever had. It was unique but still a burger. The yucca fries were a way better option than traditional fries. I went home and investigated on how to replace potato for yucca in common recipes cause it was such a nice change. The enchalada was tasty and the sauce was great. The rice and beans were beautifully done and when mixed in with the remaining green tomatillo sauce, I could have had a whole bowl of just that and been satisfied. We finished the night by splitting the churros and they were light, fluffy and didn't feel greasy like churros often do. Overall, I'd come back. Not recommended for a quick, cheap meal but otherwise for a nice reasonably priced dinner out/date night. It...
