Vik’s Lake and George Bistro is owner Vik Sharma’s passion project.
“I had goals of opening my own restaurant,” he says. “Even though I am still learning, I am trying new things everyday.”
After living in British Columbia for ten years, Sharma moved to Peterborough in September with goals of running a business centred around the customers in the community.
The restaurants motto, “We serve with passion” are some of Sharma’s words to live by when running his bistro.
“People love good service. Of course the food is important but they dine-in expecting a level of (hospitality),” says Sharma. “You don’t get another chance to make a first impression.”
He says the new business has been busy with Skip The Dishes and DoorDash orders, even garnering returning customers before the official opening this Friday.
“Social media, word-of-mouth, anything to get that brings people in,” he laughs.
