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.

    This was our first time at The Springwood, but certainly will not be our last. We had a delightful dinner to celebrate an anniversary. The food was some of the best we’ve had. Service was simply top notch. A bit of sticker shock at the prices, for Whitby, but once we tasted the first bite there was no doubt we were in for a treat. We highly recommend The Springwood.

    This was my first time dining at The Springwood after several recommendations from friends. We brought my dad (who loves locally sourced food)for his 60th birthday. We were treated fantastically by every staff member. The menu items were explained thoroughly, and all our questions were answered. We opted for the tasting menu which allows for your table to share lots of dishes! The portions were generous and we each left with containers to bring home. The dishes brought for each course complimented each other so well and we all left quite full and very happy. I particularly loved the duck pate and the smoked trout dip… delicious. Cheers Springwood staff… we will be back!

     Our first time there, but definitely not our last! On recommendation of a friend, we did your taster menu called Come to Dinner and we did the ultimate indulgence as there are three cost tiers options to the experience… it did not disappoint.  Every course was tasty and more than enough food.  I had my first experience with eating oysters and all I can say is wow. Out meal as a whole was flavourful and exactly the right portion and the only thing I can recommend to others is that you try it for yourself. your staff was welcoming and knowledgable about every course. We will see you again very soon.
