Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in London

Excellent Birthday Supper We live a ten-minute walk from Ironwood Kitchen. We believe in supporting local businesses. From the minute you walk in the door, you immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere and ambiance are exceptional, given the restaurant is located in a strip mall. The bicycle lights over the tables are really unique. Ok, now for the food. We started with the our favourite local craft beer along with the St. Brigid’s Brie with toasted Focaccia bread, Rhubarb, Herbs, and Berries. Honestly, I could eat this every week. My spouse had deep fried Banana Flowers with frites; I had the Lake Erie Pickerel. Both main courses were savoury, flavourful, and cooked to order. Wonderfully done!! To finish I had coffee and My Spouse had the house cheesecake. I received my own personal slice of Birthday Cake with a candle set on a board with “Happy Birthday” written in chocolate. I scraped the chocolate and enjoyed it all thoroughly. If you have a special occasion to celebrate (Birthday, Anniversary, Retirement) - look no further.

Great service and attwntion to details by the server

Tuesday lunchtime was quite busy, but our waitress was attentive. Menu is not extensive, but Food quality was exceptional: steak sandwich $30 and chicken panini $28 might seem expensive, but portions are large and we both brought half home for dinner! Ambiance takes one back to quiet, sedate dining of decades past! Will be back.

The food was excellent, the service was excellent, and the ambience is very nice. I have been before and it was very quiet that time. Unfortunately, last night shortly after we arrived a large group was seated beside us who were quite loud. So time of day and seating location can make a difference. The street-style Pad Thai was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.
