This place was quite unbelievable. What a hidden Gem in the middle of creemore. One of the best meals I've had since doing a Michelin star tour of Paris! James is a gastronomic genius. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and I highly recommend you go as soon as possible.

While looking for a new dining experience I heard about this place. Not wanting to spoil any of the mystery that this place seemed to have I didn’t read reviews or anything else about it. After my experience I have now read some of the other reviews and they are all amazing because this place is wonderful. I wish The Pine all the best and am sure they will be around for as long as they wish. Thank you for an incredible meal.

This place is incredible, all there is to say. Don’t want to share what dishes I had or how it’s presented, as you should really experience it as the chef intended. Go in blind and let the evening unfold. The international wine pairing was absolutely spot on. The service couldn’t have possibly been better and it was arguably the best tasting menu I’ve ever had. It is 100% worth the trip and I’m floored this only got a single star, it’s easily comparable to two stars or higher. Definitely better than the one stars I’ve had in Toronto.
Absolutely phenomenal job all around, chef & team. Will come back again, this time with our wives!

This dining experience was simply put, incredible. Came in very excited given it's reputation and recent recognition, The Pine delivered across the board with it's creative and cohesive 15 course tasting menu, impeccable wine pairings and service. Could not recommend this more to anyone. Looking forward to visiting again.

One of the best eating experiences I've ever had. It was like watching a well choreographed dance. Highly recommend it.

Simply incredible experience. Watching the dinner service is like a ballet with multiple staff serving a table in unison (so much so that it does have a bit of "The Menu" vibe). The food was delicious and very well paced. My only criticism would be the portion sizes are smaller and I left hungry at the end of dinner service but keep in mind I do have a very fast metabolism. Overall a fantastic experience and I look forward to coming back in a few months I'll just make sure to not arrive as hungry.
Great experience! Delicious food with Chinese flavours and a very nice vibe paired with excellent service. Loved that there weren't too many tables, which allowed for a more intimate experience and attentive service. One of our better dining experiences in Canada.

Impressive Michelin 1*, falsely judged by the ‘ 2024, 100 Best Canada Restaurant list ‘!
My recently immigrated ex-chowhounder friend of 2+decades aka ‘HKtraveler’ and I both regarded ourselves as discerning and passionate foodies. Occasionally in the past, we made plans together, sometimes with the inputs of other fellow foodie friends, to concoct culinary excursions outside the narrow confines of our home-cities. Whenever possible, we met up in destination restaurants that offer exceptional cuisine, worth a detour or special journey. I count myself blessed to have participated in such unforgettable gastronomic adventures.
Realizing another chowmeet is long overdue, we decided to organize our own ‘ Mini-meet ‘ by picking a previously untried venue that we hope is deserving and laudable enough for such a gathering. Our intimate chowmeet choice?!..... An adventurous drive, after dark, out into ‘ unfamiliar hinterland territory ‘ and trying out a newly crowned Michelin star establishment - “The Pine in Creemore”! Of course, we do not expect our chosen Michelin 1* to provide us with an exemplary package and savoir-faire experience typical of a 2* or 3*, that was normally our preferred past choices. But, with fingers crossed for a positive gastronomic outcome ( which we relied mostly on feedback from trusted food bloggers and the acument of Michelin inspectors ) plus an adventuresome drive into the ‘wilderness’, we hope to transform this periodic culinary gathering from a routine dining experience into an enchanting culinary expedition!
For their culinary creation, the friendly, skilled and talented chefs deployed to the fullest, their entire arsenal of experiences and knowledge they have honed and garnered during their training all over China and the Orient. The result, some amazingly clever and artful twists on certain traditional Chinese dishes. Transforming and morphing them into both visually appealing and palate pleasing bites. Some standout taste-bombs, wth intriguing sauces that bursted with exquisite and well harmonized flavor. Wonderful and sensory wowing!
With a whopping 15 courses to cover, I have decided to just high-light a few of my favorites of the night. I’ll take the short cut by posting the menu and let photos of all the dishes and your imagination do the talking instead!
Some chosen favorites of the evening include: - Savory Chinese Tea Leaf deviled egg topped with Caviar - Dainty and ultra-crispy Pumpkin cake - ‘Char-Siu‘ diver scallops….the morsel plump and sweet - Ocean trout, perfectly ‘ barely ‘ cooked - Roasted and charred, Oyster sauce based marinade Ontario Lamb rib eye. …..etc Enjoy the visual culinary journey and have fun!
BTW, despite the near perfect execution of the dishes, there was one disappointing miss....The duck egg yolk component of the Hong Kong French Toast dessert was way overly salty.
Lastly, the extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional service by our servers was impeccable!

An unbelievable dining experience and the best meal I have ever had! Was totally blown away. I love how the dining space is small and intimate, there were only 15 diners. We had 16 epic courses and did the local wine pairings. I was equally blown away with the local wines as I was the food. Prince Edward county had never been on my radar before and it now is. Fabulous job finding local wines that you can't find in the LCBO.
I have never been a huge fan of foie gras but completely had my mind changed by the foie gras ice cream on crostini course. It's something that makes so much sense but I would never have thought of.
The red rock crab salad really hit home for us. We fish for red rock crab on the west coast off Bamfield every summer and have always felt it was an underrated crab. Dungeness, king and snow crab always seem to steal the spotlight. So thank you for bringing the red rock crab to people's attention.
The chefs ability to execute something so flawlessly and his continued creativity and passion really shines through. I'm blown away that he has a new born at home! It's clear that he has an amazing team with him.
Loved the different choices of cutlery for each course. No detail was left unnoticed. Touching the tables after the meal was very special. We forgot to go out back and look at the garden!
Easily one of the best restaurants in Canada.
I can't wait to come back and try more creations!
Thank you to all the staff from the bottom of our hearts!

I recently dined at The Pine in Creemore, and it was outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was delicious, and every dish was beautifully presented. The service was excellent—our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making sure we had a great experience. The Pine perfectly combines great food, service, and ambiance. I highly recommend it!
