We don’t think you can beat the food and wine at Eden. As good as the food is the staff actually shine brighter. Julian and Matt were amazing as was everyone else we talked to.

A great place to eat with exceptional service, food options and drinks. Our server was outstanding, doubling as the bartender. We are not vegitarians, however opted for the vegitarian meals and they were outstanding. The drinks were prepared exceptionally as well.

About the restaurant

At Farm and Fire we believe that good food doesn’t have to be complicated. Our menu features only the freshest ingredients from local Canadian farmers. Because it’s slow roasted and wood-fired, we bring out the natural flavours Mother Nature intended. Come enjoy our warm and open modern dining space. Toast with friends by the warmth of the fire and stay for a while. Or, order your food to go and dine wherever you like, at your own pace.

*PLEASE NOTE, WE HAVE LOTS OF SPACE FOR WALK-INS*

We had dinner and breakfast and both were excellent. Don’t let the wide open, big room feel throw you off. The food and service are excellent. It’s a bit noisy and crowded feeling but it’s fun. REAL Hollandaise (as it should always be but sadly, often isn’t) and thinly sliced Canadian bacon made the Eggs Benedict fabulous.
