About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Here at Birchwood we only serve dishes & cocktails that are fresh & flavourful. Our specialty salads are made with fresh ingredients locally grown at Cornwall's largest indoor vertical farm, ZipGrow Inc.

Don't expect fast food. Our intimate and warm atmosphere was created for you to enjoy a cocktail and an appetizer while our chefs create a masterpiece from scratch. Everything on the menu is made in house, including our sensationally decadent ice cream.

In order to offer you the most authentic Birchwood experience, we are unable to accommodate modifications or substitutions. We kindly ask that you respect our menu and allow us to serve you our recipes as they were intended to be enjoyed.

Step away from the ordinary and treat yourself to an experience that can't be duplicated!

    Made reservations for 8 people after attending my father's internment. Upon arriving we were told we could not put two tables of 4 together so we could all sit together. It was 3pm and we had the restaurant to ourselves so it felt odd that we couldn't all eat together! Food and service was good however we would not have chosen Birchwood had we known about the seating restrictions. It should have been mentioned in the online reservation.

    Incredible Meal & Fantastic Service Yet Again! Another outstanding dining experience! My partner and I enjoyed the most tender, flavorful braised beef and slow-cooked lamb, both cooked to absolute perfection. The rich, savory sauces complemented the dishes beautifully, and the sides—creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and fresh broccolini—added the perfect balance. Beyond the food, the service was exceptional, as always. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. This place never disappoints, and we’ll definitely be back for another unforgettable meal! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    So I went for my birthday with my wife and enjoyed the experience, the food was decent and the server was nice, I spent around 387 dollars in total for my visit. The venue was very welcoming and loved the decor. The downsides was sadly they were out of one of the things I wanted (not a huge deal) I have been to places very similar and the server was more attentive and quick to action this one was sadly not, also I bout one of the most expensive wines on the menu and they did not supply a wine bucket with ice to keep it cool during my meal, even though there was one on a vacant table. I would like to note that most of these are very picky things but I have been to many high end restaurants and this one was no where on that scale but I will say for Cornwall it is very good. I do suggest you go but be ready to spend a minimum of 2 and a half hours cause that's how ling it took us and we finished are food in 30min.
