Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Kitchener

Wonderful cuisine, service and at a reasonable price.

Booked Sunday brunch to celebrate the 80th birthday of the dearest and most vibrant friend of ours and the Mill exceeded our expectations! Such a variety of choices beautifully presented from the fresh seafood trays, cheeses, hot traditional breakfast including Eggs Benedict, a carving station, a crepe station and an array of amazing desserts. Every staff was helpful and welcoming. What a beautiful atmosphere and when I booked and said it was a very special birthday celebration, our table was overlooking the water. Our friend was so touched. Thank you for making his celebration so memorable.

I had an amazing dining experience at TWH Social! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, with a cozy yet stylish vibe. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. We shared a bunch of apps and one main. We had the charcuterie board, which was filled with a variety of options. Honestly one of the best charcuterie boards offered in KW. The oysters were so fresh and presented perfectly. The steak and frites were cooked excellent and they even gave us a lavender dessert to end the night. I also appreciated the drink selection, with some unique cocktails and a solid wine list. They have Prosecco on tap, which is always a great touch. Sahil, our server, was attentive and accommodating. The whole team was very welcoming. Overall, TWH Social exceeded our expectations. It’s clear that the chefs and staff are passionate about their craft. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a special occasion, this place is a gem. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be back.

My husband and I have been to Trio quite a few times, for special occasions and spontaneous outings. We have also enjoyed the experience on a date together and with a large group. We are never let down! We especially enjoy doing the Trio tasting menu and have always been more than satisfied by what we're served. The servings are always delicious and unique. The service is exceptional and very kind. I would recommend Trio to anyone who wants a food experience, not simply a good meal. Trio provides more than that in every way.

We enjoyed our Christmas dinner here very much! Although the place was crazy busy, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The food was so delicious, we enjoyed every bite. And there was so much we got plenty if leftovers for tomorrow. Would most definitely eat here again. :)
