Restaurants near Elmvale Jungle Zoo

Marta and her staff are incredible! Best Italian food I’ve ever had. Been there three times in a month and will continue to go regularly.

Lovely place for a date! Was kindly welcomed and seated, and promptly served. The food was outstanding! I had the hanger steak with truffle fries and local mushrooms, the steak arrived medium rare as requested and the chimichurri complemented the steak very well. My date got the pasta of the day which she enjoyed as well. The drinks and desserts should not be missed either. The house cocktails were very nice and the creme brulee and chocolate mousse were phenomenal. I generally dont go for desserts but the mousse was so good youd be foolish not to try it.

This is my girlfriends and mine favourite spot in Barrie, we like it because it seems almost like a hidden gem, it’s always packed so it’s clearly not hidden, but we love the patio in the summer. We always have a great experience. Very sad to hear this location is closing temporarily, and we will have to find a new location for the summer. We find also the park place vibes to be too noisy with the amount of traffic from the highway right beside, we try to avoid restaurants in this area. Fingers crossed that you can replicate the same atmosphere in the south end, you will be missed in the North end. Thank you for many great memories. Only complaint from our last visit, my girlfriend got the vegan tacos with tortilla chips and there was only 6-7 chips on the plate. Usually there is 2-2.5 times as many.

I want to say that changing and modifying my reservation numerous times to add additional people to my group was handled very efficiently and was much appreciated!! We started with group of 6 then changed to 9 and changed again to 11 and at last minute to 13!! Well done!! Thankyou!! Food and service exceptional!! We will all come again!!

Delicious as usual! We went for Valentine’s Day and they had a special menu which forced us to try something new. Food was amazing as always. Service was great, ambiance was very romantic. It was a great dining experience.
