We were recently visiting in Uxbridge, Ontario , Canada .went into a delightful, new trendy restaurant.
Uxbridge is a small country type town set in the lovely rolling hills north of Lake Ontario. Just a beautiful charming area with beautiful farmlands and scenery in all directions.
While we were there we went into a delightful, new, trendy restaurant with our son called the Urban Pantry. This restaurant would have fit easily into any of the large cities of North America and it obviously was doing well as it was well frequented by local people. Maybe a sign of changing times in the area as we noticed many retired people are now choosing this part of Ontario for retirement.
We had just come in from a long day travelling by airplane through a very crowded Toronto airport and then out into the traffic of a busy rush hour of crowded street and traffic jams so the restaurant was so lovely to visit,-quiet and uncrowded with good service and food.
We decide to have appetisers and above in the photo you can see a specialty of the pantry " a Charcuterie Board" For 3 of us we ordered 2 and there was so much food we didn't even finish it all!
On a large section of each tree trunk shaped board, we found 2 or 3 different kinds of local meats, 3 or 4 specialty cheeses, various sweet and sour pickles and preserves, eggs and crostini bread. The tubes that look like spaghetti are actually pickled long beans. Add to that a good glass of wine and our vacation had really started,
I would really recommend giving "the Urban Pantry" a visit if you are in Uxbridge, The food is good , the atmosphere very pleasant and the service attentive and just right.
