The Parlour Wine Bar and Bistro: Fine Dining in Glendora

The Parlour Wine Bar and Bistro

Overview: The Parlour Wine Bar and Bistro’s mission is to be the best location in Glendora to buy wine, and it just might be. The restaurant boasts a bottle list of high quality wine and seasonal dishes using ingredients locally and organically grown. Situated in the Village shopping center, The Parlour offers a sophisticated menu in an intimate and tasteful environment.

Decor: The ambience really is lovely, a perfect place to spend with a special someone, or with an intimate group of friends.

The Drinks: Just as the name suggests, you come to The Parlour to sample its vast selection of wine (although there is a menu of non-alcoholic drinks for those not interested in the bubbly). The Parlour’s wine menu includes selections of white, red, bubbles, sticky and beer. By the glass, the drinks range from $7 to $18.

Appetizers:  The sliders have earned much praise from patrons. Try the sirloin sliders ($14), two mini-burgers with sautéed mushrooms and crispy shallots,
or the salmon sliders ($14),
two grilled salmon cake sliders with orange fennel slaw.  

Entrees: In Megan’s Shrimp Pasta ($20)
spaghetti is drizzled in spicy tomato sauce with olives, capers and garlic and served with grilled jumbo prawns. The Bistro Steak ($23) is a grilled top sirloin steak with caramelized onion mashed potato and baby veggies.

Sides: Try the Soup of the Day ($7) which changes daily and is served with a grilled baguette (or add a small plain jane salad for $3 more).

Desserts: The Limóncello Tiramisu ($10) is a unique take on the classic dish, made with locally made limóncello from the Ventura Limóncello company, mascarpone and vanilla cake. Like cheese? Try the dessert cheese flight ($12) of Stilton blue and manchego cheeses with mulled figs, dried apricots and candied pecans.  Perfect with any bottle of wine.

Service: Reservations are preferred.
