TripAdvisor, the largest travel website in the world, honoured Durham College’s (DC’s) Bistro ’67 with a Certificate of Excellence recently. This achievement was a result of the consistently high reviews the restaurant receives on the travel website. With a 101 reviews to date, Bistro ’67 is ranked as the second-most popular restaurant in Whitby, Ont., out of 235. The restaurant also proudly maintains a four-and-a-half out of five star rating.

More than 90 per cent of reviews on the website feature positive comments, complimenting everything from the food, the wait staff, to the field-to-fork philosophy. Bistro ’67 is truly a one-of-a-kind in Durham Region.

The restaurant features an open concept with modern design. The menu is constantly changing, keeping up with homegrown ingredients from across the Durham Region to bring fresh and inspiring dishes to the table. As an added bonus, a television is featured in the dining area, allowing patrons to watch as DC’s skilled culinary students carefully prepare diners’ selections.

Bistro ’67 lives within DC’s Centre for Food (CFF), Durham Region’s first-ever post-secondary presence focused on the field-to-fork concept. This process is based on the harvesting, storage, processing, packaging, sale and consumption of local, home-grown food. Since the CFF opened, DC has taken this concept and applied it to a diverse range of culinary and hospitality programs.

CFF recently announced the renewal of its partnership with celebrity chef Jamie Kennedy. Kennedy is a pioneer in farm-to-field practices and has helped students in various programs at the CFF since 2012. With this commitment, he will interact with students in the classroom, labs and fields; work with employees; and participate in student-run special events.
