Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Joel Gray
From the OpenTable editors: This farmhouse restaurant nestled in Grey Highlands provides an intimate backdrop for 10-course tasting menus that connect diners to the local land and community. Chefs Joel Gray and Hannah Harradin partner with farmers to craft rotating dishes that celebrate the stories behind each ingredient, from rabbit ballontine with three kinds of mushrooms to carrot cavatelli with pickled ground cherries.
Philosophy
Down Home is an exceptional culinary dining experience that weaves the stories of local farms, our land and the seasons through an extensive and creative tasting menu. We are inspired by nature in every step from our regenerative garden, foraged edibles & open fire cooking elements. Taste, sustainability and being stewards for a better future is always at the forefront of what we do here.
