Shine Bistro & Catering

Well if you’re looking for something simple that isn’t fast food and somewhat healthy, then Shine is your spot.
Nestled in the corner on the east side of the Citadel Theatre, it’s a small quaint establishment. It contains a small dining area which I was told packs up pretty quickly. When I arrived it wasn’t that packed. As I entered a was mesmerized by the menu. All written on the chalkboard in different colours with their special at eye level on a whiteboard. I didn’t even really notice it until much later.
So I ordered the special which was a soup and and a bbq chicken cheddar sandwich. I ordered the cream of spinach soup with my sandwich. With a water it came out to about $ 12. I had to make sure the chicken was breast not chicken slices like a deli.
They ask you to be seated and carry a number a la caf style. The order came pretty quickly. The cream of spinach soup was very tasty. The chicken wasn’t too bad. The sandwich is served on a kaiser — you know the Costco bulk pack. HAHA! Pretty small piece of chicken breast covered in cheddar cheese. At least the bbq sauce was not smothered on.
All in all it’s not a bad place for a simple lunch. Only problem is it’s cash only. They do have those ATM machines that you have to pay a total of $ 5 in fees. It’s alright and a decent choice.
