Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Ancaster

We had a lovely Christmas Dinner and we didn't need to clean up! Isabelle was great for the 12 of us. Most had the Prime Rib Christmas dinner with Sweet Potato's and Yorkshire Pudding or the Short Rib dinner with carrots asparagus scallop potatoes and little potatoes. One of us had the Chicken and Declared it delicious. Only 3 apps and salads which was probably wise because the meals were filling. Hubby chose a nice Spanish wine. We finished with cappuccino, two had a dessert of the chocolate tart. It was a very nice Christmas! The only downside is the noise level. Maybe the restaurant could think about modifying the ceiling with material to absorb sound. Otherwise it's a great place for lunch or dinner!

I had the pleasure of dining at Joni Restaurant yesterday for a Christmas dinner with my son, and it was truly a memorable experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, warm, and professional. The chef’s menu was outstanding, featuring creative dishes that were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and festive, but I couldn't help but feel that a touch of Christmas music—perhaps soft background tunes or even a live band or singer—would have elevated the holiday spirit even further. It was the only element missing from an otherwise perfect evening. Thank you to the entire team at Joni Restaurant for making our Christmas dinner special. We will definitely be back

I’ve been dining at Spencer’s for close to 15 years and we chose this as the location for our Christmas Eve family dinner. Our server Brad was top notch, food was hot, delicious and beautifully presented. The restaurant was full but not noisy and the ambience was fantastic. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

I introduced my friend to the various O&B restaurants and we were booked for Maison Selby on Monday but then I got an email about Canoe. I told him about the Christmas Eve lunch. The staff called to confirm and I told them this is his first visit. They came through and had us seated at the table facing the CN Tower. The food was phenomenal as it always is. I had the onion soup and it blew my mind. I am not a soup person but seeing Parmesan custard in the description peaked my curiosity. On the surface a pureed soup but it looked like art with the green oil drizzle and black pepper delicately grounded and sprinkled. Below the surface were the caramelized onions and parmesan custard. Ohhh the flavour sensations having a party on my tastebuds! He had the Waldorf and said it was delicious. We both had the beef Wellington. So tender and flavourful and that was just the meat! I actually did the foodie happy dance in my chair nom nom nomming! The roasted veggies, deep fried kale and mashed potatoes were lovely. To be honest they weren’t hot but I wasn’t going to ruin the dining experience by saying anything. I thought the pastry was perfect, mine fell open in two layers. He would have liked his to be flakier on the outside layer. He had the sticky toffee pudding and absolutely loved it. I had the white chocolate cheesecake with the pistachio crème anglaise and raspberry sorbet & I loved it. The flavours and textures were my vibe! I tried two mocktails. I loved the ambrosia! The flavour combos were amazing! Then I tried the gala. The drink itself was underwhelming compared to the first but its saving grace was the fruit. I asked our lovely server and she said maraschino cherries. No way! Not the ones you get on top of sundaes. Way better! They were the star of that drink along with the really cool rectangular ice cube! Lovely seeing Oscar from our Maison Selby days. Told him the venue switch story for lunch and he was the 4th staff to say: Really? Love it! O&B ❤️

It was my boyfriend and Is 3rd time dining and it was again outstanding! Our server, Jessie was wonderful and attentive with what we wanted and kept us happy throughout our entire dining experience. It truly is the greatest, and most unique place!
