Quick Bite: Clarkson Mediterranean Bistro
Published July 14, 2015 at 8:57 pm
Where: The Clarkson Mediterranean Bistro is a gem of a find in a small and quaint neighbourhood located west of Port Credit in a community called Clarkson Village. It’s the oldest community in Mississauga and is home to a number of unique businesses, fine dining restaurants and two of Mississauga’s historic museums.
The Verdict: The Clarkson Mediterranean Bistro is a restaurant that’s now on my list of go-to places to dine in Mississauga. I had driven by it many times and had it on my list for months – I just wish I had gone sooner. I was floored by the level of service, the flavours, the quality of the food and the affordable pricing. This resto is a prime example of the benefits of supporting local restaurants over the big chains.
What: The California Chicken Risotto includes roasted tomatoes, zucchini and artichokes in a chardonnay and parmesan rose sauce. Risotto can be a heavy dish; however the flavours were on point and balanced with just enough acidity, resulting in a light, creamy and appetizing dish. The rice to ingredient ratio was perfect with substantial chicken, artichoke and zucchini pieces embedded in the silky risotto.
Price: $16.95
Wait time: 10 minutes post appetizers (for the purpose of this article, I am only discussing one of a few dishes I tried, hence the name Quick Dish. However, I should mention that everything I tried was also on point).
