The Boardwalk Bistro is a quaint little restaurant located just off Highway 56 in Big Valley, operating since 2012. They offer a lunch menu, specialty coffees, homemade desserts and Foothills ice cream. There is also a selection of unique gift items.
Owner/operator, Tanya Plante, advises that "business is hard work! If you aren't willing to put in the time to get to know your customers, your community, and your products, don't bother...but it is very rewarding when people keep coming back and give you full support for your efforts". Community Futures was instrumental in getting us started. They have offered training, help with marketing, web pages and social media. "Without their help we would not have been able to realize a dream!"
