Welcome to Our New Brasserie: A Taste of Elegance in Penetan

We are thrilled to introduce our transformed brasserie—once a cozy café, now a vibrant, upscale dining destination in the heart of Penetanguishene, Ontario. 

Our transition from a coffee shop to an oyster bar was a natural progression, driven by our passion for creating a welcoming space where friends, families, and food enthusiasts can gather to enjoy exquisite dishes crafted with locally sourced ingredients.


A Culinary Journey Awaits

At our brasserie, we offer a diverse selection of wines, cocktails, and mocktails to complement our chef-created menu. Our culinary offerings include a tantalizing array of tapas and an impressive oyster bar featuring the freshest East Coast oysters. Whether you're stopping by for a loaded Caesar, or indulging in a full dining experience, each visit promises to be memorable.


Our Passion for Hospitality

Hospitality is the cornerstone of our business. We take immense pride in delivering exceptional customer service, ensuring every guest feels at home. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, our brasserie is the perfect setting for creating lasting memories.


Our Journey as Entrepreneurs

As a husband-and-wife team, we have a deep-rooted passion for entrepreneurship, having previously revolutionized the local barbershop scene. Our first venture, a full-service barbershop, introduced traditional haircuts and hot towel shaves to our town, offering a nostalgic yet modern grooming experience. We’ve trained over 31 barbers, inspiring many to launch their own successful businesses. Our dedication to old-fashioned service extends beyond the barbershop, as we also produce our own aftershave brand.


An Asset to Penetanguishene

Our brasserie is more than just a dining venue; it's a valuable asset to our community. With a growing number of five-star reviews, we've quickly become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors. Special thanks go to our amazing team: Evan, Chef Hamish, Chef Keegan, Kyle, Laura, Phil, Stephanie, and Jaylene, whose dedication and talent make it all possible.


We look forward to hosting you soon at our unique oyster bar and cocktail lounge, where every visit is a celebration of fine food, fine wine, and fine company. Come experience the difference for yourself, and let us make your next gathering truly special. Everyone is welcome!
