Coffee

Balzac's Coffee (now present in many cities across Ontario) originated in Stratford! In my younger days I worked as a Barista here. They specialize in rich, aromatic blends and have a full array of local baked goods to enjoy.

Breakfast

Features is a local favorite! Unpretentious and absolutely delicious, the service is fast and the kitchen is staffed by many friends from my past years in the local restaurant scene.

Food scene

Classic Italian dishes with modern flare- and a fantastic wine cellar as a bonus! The team at Pazzo have been serving traditional pizza, elegant and elaborate dinner entrees, and complex cocktales since I was in high-school. Perfect for a romantic rendezvous or a quite solo dining experience.

Foster's is y far one of my favorite dinner and drinks spots. A quintessential casual-fine-dining brasserie, the decor blends historical elegance with modern, colorful flare. The kitchen and service staff are some of our local industry veterans.
