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.

    Food was delicious, service perfect, we were cold where we were sitting as the door was opening and closing. Noise level also quite loud.

    We ordered halibut and it’s the best we had ever eaten. Chef is so creative and the fish was expertly prepared. The entire service experience by Erin and Jasmine was perfectly executed. Can’t wait to come over again!

    The rainbow trout appetizer was scrumptious. The Rye Cavetelli is the best I’ve ever had and knowing it’s created in house makes it even more special. The Halibut was mouth watering and the beets, delicious. I’ve tried a lot of different dishes on the menu and it never disappoints. The mussels are the best I’ve ever had. I return often for the pasta because they switch up the favours and it always delicious. I highly recommend you eat at Springwood for any occasion.
