Katana Kafe

Tonight, I went to the London International Airport… to eat at Katana Kafe & Grill. Some intriguing dishes were on their menu. But I ended up going for the Grilled Endive and Venison Tenderloin as my appetizer and main. The endive was coated in a beautiful maple butter and pecan reduction. A blackberry demi-glace (a gravy-like sauce) was added to the venison. Mashed potatoes teamed with my venison as its side. I had two desserts. First came the tiramisu cheesecake. This tasted like it sat there a while. The sticky toffee pudding tasted better, but it interestingly came with gelato. This bistro takes advantage of the nearby airport with big windows, allowing guests to view the planes and runway. This is even better in the summer because you can sit on their patio. The dining room was populated with plants, Christmas ornaments, and granite table tops. My bill was $95. Katana Kafe holds up in all aspects. Exemplary food, the friendliest of waiters, a cleverly designed interior, and the best restaurant view in London! I want to give a special shout-out to Kaylee! She did a great job serving.

The experience was wonderful. I brought a friend for a birthday dinner. She had always wanted to try Katana but hadn't until then. We were both so absolutely satisfied with the lovely service and delicious meal. We will definitely visit again. Thank you from both of us for such an enjoyable evening.

Very exciting flavour profiles and a blend of newer cuisines and classic dishes with inventive twists that enhance the flavors without overwhelming those that made them classics in the first place. My wife took me here when we started dating. We went for dinner last weekend to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. This is a very special restaurant. There was an issue with a tenderloin ordered rare and arriving closer to medium (stuff happens) but the wait staff noticed when they asked after our first few bites and despite my reluctance to complain had another prepared immediately for me. This was the first time in my experience that there was something even remotely below par at this establishment, and the staff caught it and owned it and corrected it. There was no passing of blame or excuses. They were too busy just making it right. We all make mistakes and those that claim they don't are lying to themselves and will probably lie to anyone they have to in order to keep up the facade. The Katana Cafe is a legitimate gourmet food experience, from the location (facing onto the runways at London International Airport) to the atmosphere, to the food and the service. If you're looking for a special restaurant experience in London Ontario, then you need to try Katana Cafe. It's a hidden gem.
