The North Restaurant presents an outstanding Portuguese fine dining experience with fantastic service and great ambiance. From the moment guests walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, enhanced by friendly and attentive staff who are informative without being intrusive. The food is amazing and crafted with care, featuring high-quality ingredients that burst with flavor. Highlights include the Lamb, venison with risotto, and fragcois with cheese polenta, all beautifully presented.
While the establishment has been around for 17 years, it faces some challenges with accessibility and ventilation that may need addressing. The restaurant could also use some updates to its slightly dated interior. However, the value remains incredible, especially with the elevated 7-course meat-forward tasting experience priced at just $100 per person. Desserts like crème brûlée, mini brownies, and banana cream pie offer a sweet finish, showcasing familiar flavors with an elegant twist.
Guests are encouraged to plan for at least two hours, as the dining experience is designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. The North is truly a hidden gem in downtown Barrie, perfect for date nights, special occasions, or memorable evenings with friends. It is a place where diners are eager to return for a full experience and discover something new with each visit.
