We enjoyed a nice dinner for 2 at Rust and enjoyed the experience with a nice atmosphere and good service. The food was nicely presented and quite enjoyable with us having the Mushroom Wellington and the Scallops Risotto.

About the restaurant

Why The North Coal? The concept was created by the feeling of being away from city life with family and friends. For us, that’s Northern Ontario, but as lucky as we are to experience that way of life, not everyone is. Our mission is to provide that feeling regardless of your surroundings.

Located in the heart of Downtown Burlington, The North Coal is the perfect place for Summer Drinks, Family Dinners or just a place to kick back with your friends after a long week!

Truly a wonderful restaurant. Each time we go it's better, even though the first experience was outstanding. If you're wondering about where to have a casual yet high quality dining experience, Kamoosh Bistro should be at the top of the list. Very highly recommended!
