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.

Okay, finally tried The Springwood! What a wonder experience! The food is excellent, the staff is wonderfully knowledgeable and helpful and on top of their tables, and the Chef Tasting Menu is so worth it! Value is incredible and honestly, was a really special night out! Farm to table, locally sourced, everything made in house … 👏🏼👌🏼

Outstanding food and service is way above and beyond. The waitress was so kind and helpful for our celiac diner, taking extraordinary care and attention with every plate, explaining what was in each and making adjustments such as croutons on the side, to allow her to try as much as possible on the 6 course tasting menu. Food is phenomenal! We highly recommend the 6 course dinner, especially if it is your first experience dining at Springwood, or if you are very hungry. It is our go-to for a fancy dinner night. Washrooms are lovely as well.

Usually wonderful meal was mediocre on this occasion. Over salted rib dish, very dry and over cooked pork chop and generally not what we have come to expect for this local hidden gem.

This is hands down the best restaurant in the Durham region. The service was exceptional and the food outstanding. The portions were very generous and beyond delicious. We want to go back asap to try more dishes!
