Q
FAQ
What type of cuisine does Bistro Kóz serve?
Bistro Kóz is a Mediterranean restaurant in Magog inspired by the culinary traditions of Greece and Türkiye. Our menu features fresh ingredients, vibrant flavours, and colourful dishes designed to be shared. Located on the shores of Lake Memphremagog, Bistro Kóz offers a unique dining experience where Mediterranean cuisine meets one of the region’s most spectacular lake views.
What is the concept behind Bistro Kóz?
At Bistro Kóz, we invite you to discover the Mediterranean tradition of sharing food. Most of our dishes are served as mezze—small plates designed to be placed in the centre of the table and enjoyed together.
This style of dining encourages conversation, discovery, and togetherness while allowing you to sample a wider variety of flavours. Whether you’re joining us for lunch, dinner, or drinks with friends, every visit is designed to encourage you to slow down, share great food, and enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Memphremagog.
Does Bistro Kóz offer views of Lake Memphremagog?
Yes. Located directly on the shores of Lake Memphremagog in Magog, Bistro Kóz offers stunning lake views from both its dining room and outdoor patio. Whether you’re joining us for lunch, dinner, or simply a drink, the scenery is an essential part of the experience.
During the winter season, the same patio becomes home to LesDómes, our heated outdoor dining experience.
Are mezze enough for a full meal?
Absolutely. Although mezze are served as small plates designed for sharing, they are intended to create a complete meal. Our team will gladly recommend the ideal number of dishes based on the size of your group and your appetite.
Can I stop by Bistro Kóz just for drinks?
Absolutely! Whether you’re in the mood for an aperitif, a signature cocktail, a handcrafted mocktail, or a glass of wine, our bar welcomes you in a warm atmosphere overlooking Lake Memphremagog.
Pair your drink with one or several mezze dishes to share and enjoy one of Magog’s most scenic spots for relaxing with friends.

Do you offer vegetarian options?

Can you accommodate food allergies?
Our team pays close attention to food allergies and dietary restrictions. While we take every reasonable precaution, we cannot guarantee that our dishes are completely free of allergens due to the risk of cross-contamination.
Please inform your server of any allergies when you arrive at the restaurant.
Do you have a patio?
Yes. Bistro Kóz features a beautiful lakefront patio overlooking Lake Memphremagog, making it one of Magog’s favourite places to enjoy the warmer months. Whether you’re joining us for lunch, dinner, or drinks with friends, our patio offers the perfect setting to experience Mediterranean cuisine with breathtaking waterfront views.
During the winter, the patio transforms into LesDómes, our heated outdoor domes offering a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Please note that patio seating cannot be reserved during the summer season. We recommend reserving a table indoors to guarantee your reservation. If patio seating is available upon your arrival, our team will gladly seat you outside.
What are LesDómes?
LesDómes is Bistro Kóz’s signature winter dining experience. Set on our patio overlooking Lake Memphremagog, these heated private domes allow you to enjoy an intimate and comfortable meal, even in the heart of winter.
Take in spectacular winter views of the lake, Pointe Merry, and local skaters while enjoying a menu specially created for the experience. LesDómes has become one of Magog’s must-try winter attractions for couples, families, and groups of friends looking for a memorable culinary experience.
