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!

    Springwood is a truly unique and delicious dining experience. Our server, Sara, was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We did one of the tasting menus which was a great way to enjoy our first visit here as we tried many things we might have not thought to order. There was sooo much food we had to bring home some of our main course! Fantastic and cozy ambiance. Truly a dining experience and not just a typical restaurant meal. Highly recommend.
