A tiny restaurant, built exactly how we wanted it.

A few tables. A tiny team. Vegetables, fermentation, handmade pasta and 32 lovely people a night.

No phone. No sign. No fuss.

Just dinner.

It's a beautiful thought.ย ย 

There are 8 services left in Whitby. Consider this your hint.

POV: your restaurant needs peppers, so you bring the entire family to the farm.

We spent some time City of Greens in Bowmanville helping our friend and farmer Ryan harvest peppers for the restaurant.

If you've sat at our table you've heard us talk about Farmer Ryan. We've been working with him for years, and getting to bring the kids out to the farm to lend a hand is one of the best parts of this whole thing.

Some of this harvest will be on your plates soon, and the rest will be pickled, fermented and preserved for dinners throughout the winter.

The kids had a blast and were reminded that vegetables don't magically appear in a restaurant kitchen.

You can find Ryan Whitby Farmers' Market on Wednesdays & the Brooklin Farmers Market on Saturdays,

Know your farmer. Know your food. Keep your community close. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿซ‘๐Ÿฅ•

What's the occasion?

You being alive seems like a pretty good one.

Come sit down for a tasting menu built around what's growing, what's fermenting, and what we're excited to cook that week.

Handmade pasta. Local vegetables. Long fermentation. A few hours where somebody else feeds you.

Several tables available Thursday, September 10. You should probably come.

Whitby Farmersโ€™ Market, we love you, but we are NOT fighting a potential tornado for you today.

We have lost two tents this year already. TWO. And frankly, we are still emotionally recovering from the basil flying off our Margheritas

Also: stop using AI to make your business s**t. We are running out of water. You donโ€™t need to be an artist. ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฒ. You can do it too.

At our downtown Whitby supper club, the menu changes with the harvest. We cook with organic, locally grown ingredients, preserve what we can through fermentation, roll our pasta by hand and build each tasting menu around what the farms have available that week.

Because healthy food starts with healthy soil.
Strong food systems start with community.
And good dinners start with good ingredients.

Our menu is revealed when you arrive.

5 Dates remain in September.
October dates just released.

This week: catch us at the Whitby Farmersโ€™ Market Wednesday, then find us at Greenwood Park on Sunday.

Come shake hands with a farmer. Ask where your food was grown. Meet the people growing it. Pick up some fresh bread. Eat a pizza. Take home some vegetables.

Know your food. Know your farmers. Be part of the community. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฅ•๐ŸŒฑ

Someone planted the seed. Someone tended the soil. Someone harvested it.

Then we get to take all that good work and make dinner.

We know our farms, we cook with the harvest, and we make everything hand โ€” including the pasta.

Come join us for a 4 or 6 course tasting menu, with the menu presented upon arrival and guided entirely by what's growing and what looks good right now.

**September is almost full โ€” 5 days remain with availability.**
