For more than a dozen years, there was Village Bagel, an extremely popular breakfast and lunch stop on the Boston Post Road in Milford. But its owner, K Ghura, envisioned something greater. He moved his operation across and down the street into much improved quarters, retained his breakfast and lunch offerings, and added a Spanish-inspired menu of tapas and main dishes in the evening.
Of Ghura’s own devising, the improved quarters include lovely design details, incorporating everything from old doors to wheels to drift wood. There’s a lovely patio, nice bar and beautiful dining room. Even the bathrooms are special, with old sewing machines turned into sink supports. And the staff is super nice—in my experience, that starts at the top.
Just about everything is made fresh and in house. For breakfast and lunch, enjoy omelets, bagels, pastries, wraps, panini, soups, salads, and assorted lunch tapas. But for dinner, get serious with hot tapas like seasoned ground pork empanadas, roasted potatoes with spicy mayonnaise or chorizo with garlic, parsley, onion, olives and mixed peppers. There are main dishes like duck breast à l’orange. There are even special treats like Ibérico ham shaved from the leg as needed. And let’s not forget the housemade desserts!
Many customers are drawn to the wonderful assortment of drinks, not to mention good food and drink specials offered at Happy Hour. From bagel shop to bistro, it’s all there at Village Bistro in Milford.
THE VERDICT: In our opinion Village Bistro offers an unbeatable combination of appealing ambiance, good food and drink, and affordable prices.
