Darcy describes the restaurant as, “a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.” It’s a friendly self-styled gastro-pub serving barnyard chic that he’s personalized by hanging photos on the walls featuring the old MacDonell farmhouse and family crest.

In the warm summer, the Canadian farm-to-table restaurant offers one of Toronto’s best patios. It’s the best place in The Junction to enjoy weekend brunch with friends and family. The al fresco space is even decorated with an herb garden that sits on rusty scrap metal. The restaurant’s barbecue smoker even gives new life to a tractor.

The restaurant also features an intimate private dining space called “Hunt Camp,” which seats 9-12 guests at one high top table.
