We recently found this restaurant in Kitchener . It prides itself on serving locally grown , organic fare . It offers great service and menu options , the ambience is quite nice . It appears rustic/historical. It is originally an old school and has been converted to a wonderful local establishment. Try it out .

Great food at decent price. This is not a cheap place to eat but the quality is well above average and the prices are very good for the food you get. Well worth a stop.

My husband and I decided to give this restaurant a try after we have heard nothing but good things about it over the past few years. We were also intrigued by the local food theme. Upon arrival we were greeted by the hostess and seated very quickly. Our server came over to let us know about the “specials” menu and... More

Not only is the food fantastic, they also have the best waiter in town, Luigi!! Saturday night so many patrons had requested Luigi, his area was full. To my delight we had the most pleasurable service from the talented; professional and absolutely delightful waitress Sylvia!! Luigi did have a moment to welcome us.... we keep coming back for the great... More

We enjoyed the atmosphere-very cute, food was tastey, portion sizes were fair to the price which was great! only thing neither of us liked on our plates was the coleslaw. and my only complaint was the waitress was kind of akward.I love the fact that its local ingredients and that the menu changes all the time so we want to...

Took my husband for the first time last week. Many friends had recommended it. Not so much the best. He had the Vension and Harvest Ale Stew. Yikes - the skin was forming on top before it even hit the table. It was like a bowl of gravy from a packet, with a few hidden bits of venison swimming beneath.... More

Having enjoyed eating at their Guelph location, I was again pleased to find the food in Kitchener equally as good. And the added bonus was the wonderful setting and attentive staff. Highly recommend.

During a business trip to Ontario my husband and I met some folks at Borealis. We were greeted at the front by very helpful host/hostess and then quickly seated upstairs. Our server Anna was an absolute delight from the start. She took time to converse with us, go over menu options, and talk with me about our son to be... More

Borealis remains great despite price increases. Service was very helpful, food was fantastic. Enjoy that they know where everything comes from and is prepared fresh.

This was our second visit. Previous family dinner was lovely. This time, the food was nice; however, the "apple poached salmon" was a bit bland...needed fresh cracked pepper and a bit of zing. Burgers were good. Difficulty came when at the outset the server caught a bad angle and dumped a white wine spritzer all over me. Having two sons... More
