Best Healthy Restaurants in Pickering

my wife and I walked in and was welcome at the entrance. Having given my name and reservation time, I walked back to have a seat, and even before reaching it we were approached by the lady who walked us to our table. The light was dim, it was calm with nice Christmas song playing in the background. Within seconds we have our waitress coming to our table with a welcoming smile introducing her to us. She brought us a glass of water each while we looked at the menu. I order my usual meal when I first walk in a restaurant, a medium rare New York sirloin with accompaniments sautéed fresh vegetables. I ordered Escargi as starter. My wife was so pleased by the area we were sitting, and while waiting for our food we ordered a glass of wine and a Sangria. The wine was good and the Sangria delicious. The waitress brought us some warm bread and cream after asking us. Soon the Escargot can and to my surprise it was a bigger portion than I expected and that was so delicious. Time to have lunch, our food were served and my wife was also shocked by the portion of her Nachos with decorative sides such as salsa, guacamole and a whipped cream. She could not finish it all while I was enjoying my steak. The sautéed vegetables was also safe a bigger portion compared to what other restaurants I’ve been to always served. The steak was as I requested it and the quality was phenomenal. Medium rare, fresh, juicy steak! That brought is big smile in my face. I would recommend this place to anyone who lives in the East, and why not from other area as I came from Barrie!! Yes from Barrie to Ajax to have the most amazing service and higher quality meals for just $103.00 including a token of HST only.

I introduced my friend to the various O&B restaurants and we were booked for Maison Selby on Monday but then I got an email about Canoe. I told him about the Christmas Eve lunch. The staff called to confirm and I told them this is his first visit. They came through and had us seated at the table facing the CN Tower. The food was phenomenal as it always is. I had the onion soup and it blew my mind. I am not a soup person but seeing Parmesan custard in the description peaked my curiosity. On the surface a pureed soup but it looked like art with the green oil drizzle and black pepper delicately grounded and sprinkled. Below the surface were the caramelized onions and parmesan custard. Ohhh the flavour sensations having a party on my tastebuds! He had the Waldorf and said it was delicious. We both had the beef Wellington. So tender and flavourful and that was just the meat! I actually did the foodie happy dance in my chair nom nom nomming! The roasted veggies, deep fried kale and mashed potatoes were lovely. To be honest they weren’t hot but I wasn’t going to ruin the dining experience by saying anything. I thought the pastry was perfect, mine fell open in two layers. He would have liked his to be flakier on the outside layer. He had the sticky toffee pudding and absolutely loved it. I had the white chocolate cheesecake with the pistachio crème anglaise and raspberry sorbet & I loved it. The flavours and textures were my vibe! I tried two mocktails. I loved the ambrosia! The flavour combos were amazing! Then I tried the gala. The drink itself was underwhelming compared to the first but its saving grace was the fruit. I asked our lovely server and she said maraschino cherries. No way! Not the ones you get on top of sundaes. Way better! They were the star of that drink along with the really cool rectangular ice cube! Lovely seeing Oscar from our Maison Selby days. Told him the venue switch story for lunch and he was the 4th staff to say: Really? Love it! O&B ❤️

Top-notch service & delicious food. Everyone was so welcoming. Beautiful space and ambiance. Worth it!

Great night dining. Started with Guac appetizer and it was delicious!

Had a super fun time. Our server, Thomas was awesome, good natured, funny and efficient. Highly recommend the mussels and the spicy shrimp. The handhelds and salads are also delicious
