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.

Whitby

About the restaurant

The Springwood can be summed up effectively as a neighborhood restaurant, whose values, regarding the menu, focus greatly on locally sourced ingredients, hyper-seasonality, regenerative farming practices and minimizing waste.

The restaurant is the brainchild of local entrepreneurs Matthew Simpson (Chef) and Jasmine Lee (General Manager). Partners in business and in life since 2007.

To further their knowledge of the Hospitality industry they made their way to Downtown Toronto, where they were able to hone their crafts working in upscale and well-known restaurants for nine years. The end goal was always assured though, that they would come back to the town that gave them their start and help bring a special space to the place that they grew up.

As you make your way inside, you will be met with warm wood, lush plant life and funky art deco accents. We want this space to feel as though you are stepping into our home and we welcome you all to Come Over for Dinner.

Great restaurant. Excellent food, fair pricing, great service, nice ambiance. The only thing missing was availability of hot drinks at the end of the meal. We were told that this was by design but we think this decision should be reconsidered. However this will not preclude us from returning. We think that having the restaurant under COR would be an asset and it would certainly help visitors find out about this wonderful eatery.

About the restaurant

We're pretty proud of having opened in the heat of the pandemic and still being here to tell you our story. Maison T came alive through the combined efforts of husband-and-wife team Masayuki Tamaru and Carolina Avaria. He is a celebrated French Chef, originally from Japan. She is a globally celebrated Hotel Chef Concierge originally from Chile. Food is his passion, Service is hers. Our kitchen and front of house teams will ensure you have a beautiful night, with friendly service, wonderful wines and of course extraordinary French fare. Check out our pooch-friendly patio in the summer months. We look forward to serving you.

Food and atmosphere and service are always good. Guess that’s why it’s not easy to get a reservation.

About the restaurant

WE LOVE LOCAL. YOUR FARM TO TABLE HEADQUARTERS.

Now well into our third decade in business, Eddington’s attributes the restaurant’s success to creating flavorful and creative meals consistently using the best of Huron County’s bounty.
Owner James Eddington states “we are so blessed to be living in such an agriculturally rich area of the world”.
Although the local food movement is really starting to take off, it has always been the driving force in Eddington’s kitchen. A menu that changes frequently, as each season inspires the delicacies our region has to offer.
Eddington’s occupies the original Carling homestead (built in the 1870’s). After two major renovations, an addition of the a new dining room and a serene outdoor backyard summer patio, the restaurant has a clean and modern look while maintaining its traditional and warm feel.

We had a great afternoon at Eddingtons. Great, friendly service and quick with meal delivery. I had asked before we arrived if we could linger after our meal to visit with high school friends of over 50 years. They allowed us to do this and gave us lots of space & time to reminisce and enjoy our long time friendship. Food was delicious. We'll be back. Thank you.

Great experience! There are a variety of drink options available and they taste very good! Although there is no food available, it would be nice to see in the future, even if just something small to go along with the drinks. Nicely decorated interior and very clean.
