  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
The Springwood can be summed up effectively as a neighborhood restaurant, whose values, regarding the menu, focus greatly on locally sourced ingredients, hyper-seasonality, regenerative farming practices and minimizing waste.

The restaurant is the brainchild of local entrepreneurs Matthew Simpson (Chef) and Jasmine Lee (General Manager). Partners in business and in life since 2007.

To further their knowledge of the Hospitality industry they made their way to Downtown Toronto, where they were able to hone their crafts working in upscale and well-known restaurants for nine years. The end goal was always assured though, that they would come back to the town that gave them their start and help bring a special space to the place that they grew up.

As you make your way inside, you will be met with warm wood, lush plant life and funky art deco accents. We want this space to feel as though you are stepping into our home and we welcome you all to Come Over for Dinner.

    Delicious. Well worth it. Everything was the best I've ever tasted but the lamb ragu was something special. We did the 95pp tasting menu and premium wine pairings as it was a special date. Don't regret one second. Sara was amazing. In fact all of the staff were. We will 100% be back.

    Have lived in Durham for just over a year and this instantly became our go-to spot. We've been 4 times, with 4 different menus, having some of the best meals we've ever had. Incredibly friendly and helpful service, too.

    The experience from beginning to end was flawless. Excellent, knowledgeable and detailed service with joy and passion. We had a late night reservation and chose the 5 course meal. We never felt rushed. The food presentation and quality was 12/10. An experience worth every dollar spent.
