About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Consistently outstanding food, service. It’s our go to for all special occasions. It’s a hidden (well maybe not so hidden anymore) gem in Whitby. Rivals any top tier TO restaurant. Such a creative chef - I still think about the food days later!

    We celebrated our seven-year anniversary at Springwood, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The food was absolutely incredible, and every aspect of the evening felt thoughtful and elevated. It’s so special to have a local restaurant delivering this level of culinary excellence and hospitality. One of our favourite parts of the experience was the open-concept kitchen. Being able to watch the team in action made us feel connected to the entire experience and gave us an even greater appreciation for the care and attention that went into every dish. Springwood made our anniversary feel incredibly special, and we left feeling so grateful to have spent such an important evening there. An unforgettable dining experience, and one we will absolutely be returning for. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable night!
