Black Birch Restaurant

Love this quaint cottage style restaurant with amazing food. Homemade, gluten free options. Definitely worth the visit especially after a long hike right across the street

We often see this restaurant after coming off the Bruce Trail. We decided to give it a try as the reviews were mostly positive. We had tried to get a menu on-line without much success and we found out why. The menu changes daily due to market availability and the chef’s “inspiration”, so that’s kind of cool. The atmosphere is really different, kind of eclectic, but we quite enjoyed it. Let’s just say there’s your typical corporate restaurant sterility, and then there’s this place. I’ll call it quiet and cozy. I had the mussels (three sauce choices!) and fries with a salad to start. My wife had the salmon with rice and vegetables. Both were very good,I went with the traditional Provençal sauce, and the fries were really something. Good size portions and great price point. I should mention the home made ice tea is well worth trying. If you sit in the rear of the restaurant you can gaze out on to a nice natural setting with birds flitting about. Parking lot is tight but they are right off Hockley Valley Road so we’re limited for extra space. Overall a great restaurant to check out, even if you only go once it is a nice dining experience. Us, we’ll be back.

I want so badly to give this place 5 stars. Amazing staff, such a cute place. It's intimate, romantic at night, I am sure more cosy during the day. The waitresses were so lovely. The food however was terrible. We had lamb and chicken and it was boiled meat, vegetables not cooked right. Our appetizer had something off-putting in it and our soup was good but very grainy . The dessert was dry. The coffee and drinks were good they have a great selection. I see so many good reviews and was very shocked by our experience perhaps it was just not a good night for them. We will try again because we did otherwise like the place.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was really inviting. The lighting was perfect – not too bright and not too dim, and the music wasn't too loud either. When it comes to food, this place definitely didn't disappoint. I tried their signature dish and it was the best thing I've ever had! The flavors and textures were on point. And the portion size was perfect – not too much and not too little. But what really made the experience special was the service. The staff were all so friendly and attentive. They made sure everything was perfect and even gave us some recommendations when we were struggling to decide what to order. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The food, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. And I haven't even mentioned the price yet – it's really affordable! So, go check it out and let me know what you think!

We had an amazing date night at this gem of a restaurant. There was live music on the Saturday night that created a great atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and generous and the food was fantastic! They said they change their menu based on what is available from the local farms nearby. We will be back next time we are in the area! Highly recommend.

Randomly stopped here after a hike at mono cliffs provincial park and I'm so glad we did! Amazing, elevated dining in the middle of nowhere. Cute and cozy patio. The waitress/hostess was amazing, super friendly and made our stay even more enjoyable. A hidden gem

Cozy little place with a with a wonderful staff and seating. Diverse menu with. 3 course tasting menu. Chicken and vegetable soup smelled amazing and tasted even better. The lamb shank was so tender and fall off the bone. Dessert cakes were amazing. So much flavour. Not sure if it's made in house but either way, it was great. Will definitely go back.

It’s a local restaurant in Hockley valley. Nice lady to serve. Salmon wasn’t well cooked and chicken doesn’t have taste of pesto. Steak and pasta are good. Price is reasonable. Clean location and cozy, interesting interior design.
