Grey Highlands

About the restaurant

Down Home is a MICHELIN recommended farmhouse restaurant located in the beautiful country side of Grey Highlands. We welcome you to join us for an intimate evening exploring local producers, fall storage veggies, house ferments and foraged goods. Our ever-changing 10 course tasting menu changes with the offerings from our local farmers and the land. Our tasting menu is $175 per person.

As we move into the warmer months we will begin with our first course in the open fire kitchen and exploring the gardens, if its a warm night we will dine outside during the summer months. At times there is a communal table, please make a note if you would like to request a private table.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS: As our menus follow the seasons we kindly ask that vegetarians and pescatarians join us in the months were vegetables are abundant.

Queen West

About the restaurant

Short Turn: A vibey and narrow cocktail/snack bar from the folks who made 416 Snack Bar - just a short turn around the corner from the original.

Start with the coldest martini in the city, ideally paired with our excellent cheeseburger, and then then pick from the cocktail list or ask a bartender for something bespoke to your tastes. Happy hour from 5-7pm daily features the whole list at ten bucks a pop!

The space was designed to conjure up train bars of a bygone time, on the streetcar ride home from downtown to the west end. A short turn is ordinarily the annoying experience of having your car re-routed, having to get off and transfer - here, you would step into an experience of unique hospitality, snacks and libation.

We dined during summerlicious. Initially the service was quite slow but once we ordered we were well taken care of. The food was delicious and of great quality. It's clear that there are some loyal regulars that really enjoy Il Ponte. We will probably become one of those :)

Our dinner was a incredible experience from the time we arrived, though the multi course dinner to the final goodbyes. Cannot say enough about the quality, presentation, uniqueness of each serving/course. It was a culinary delight. This was worth the trip to the Haliburton area.
