This is a long overdue post from back in May…
Yukiko's Cafe Bistro
Yukiko’s was one of the restaurants that I had wanted to visit since second year in university, when I first heard about the place. Located at 30 William Street West in Waterloo, ON, it was just a little beyond the typical travel distance from my university residence. And there weren’t any updates or reviews about the restaurant online for the past 2 years. On the very last day that I was in Waterloo, I took a walk and decided to head over there and see if they were open.
Wine Menu
The menu is cafe European type food and was extremely vegetarian friendly, which was perfect for me. They had small sample sizes of their soups, so I tried their soup of the day: a potato tomato bean soup.

For my entree, I ordered the polenta vegetable lasagna, which was lasagna but polenta instead of pasta. The food was delicious, hearty and seemed fairly healthy as well.

While there I had a conversation with a nice couple there that told me that the restaurant had been closed for a while and had just recently reopened about a month ago, which explains why there’s no recent reviews around.
Counter with Raspberry Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
For dessert, they had a delicious looking raspberry strawberry rhubarb crisp, but I was too full so I didn’t get to try it :(. The service was excellent, waitress was super friendly and polite. I would definitely return here if I’m ever back in Waterloo.
