Best Restaurants for Foodies in Hintonburg

Great food sharing experience in a high energy room with open kitchen concept. The food had very nice flavours and all shared plates worked well together. We all left impressed with our new find. Definitely recommend.

Dinner for 2 to celebrate wife’s birthday. Booked through OpenTable requesting for top floor and was so happy they were able to accommodate this request. Jillian was our waitress for the evening and she was super fun along with the other staff who helped in between the service. The service team really made the experience more enjoyable, it’s great being able to banter with staff that are engaging and social. Food was great from starter/apps to main and dessert. Recommend the Gnudi (appetizer) if it’s being offered; make sure to order some bread because the sauce can’t be missed. Wife had the Quail and I had the Beef Short Rib; both dishes were yummy and each dish had their own distinct flavour profiles. As for dessert, we shared the Chai Tea Crème Brûlée. Portions were spot on for the both of us that I could have easily passed on the dessert but since every dish we ate that evening was yummy, we had to try at least one item. As for drinks, we’re not drinkers but I had their Moscow Mule mocktail and it was good. It was refreshing enough that it cut out the richness of the dishes we ate, so I sipped it throughout dinner. I gave the atmosphere/ambience a 4/5 because there was a lot of empty space that could be filled with large plants (real or fake) to really compliment and add contrast to the warm atmosphere they already have in place. I think having some greenery would also help with reducing some of the ambient noise and chatter from patrons because when it was busy (died down around 9ish) the noise really filled the whole space. Thank you Jillian and Gezellig for the great service and dinner!

It was definitely on the pricier side, especially considering I didn’t even have a drink. My friend got a beer (just one tall can) and it was $15, which felt a bit steep. That said, the food & service was excellent and really stood out.

Another fantastic experience with creative delicious food and friendly knowledgeable service!

We had a lovely evening celebrating a friends birthday. The food was AMAZING, super flavourful and delicious. Highly recommend the Amalfi margarita it’s a lovely rendition of the drink and perfect on a hot summer day. Pat our waiter was fantastic and made some great recommendations. We’ll be back again to work through the other half of the menu.
