The is a hidden gem in Shelburne that everyone NEEDS to know about. The entire experience took us back to France. Food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and TOP NOTCH!!! Atmosphere is so down to earth and real, we loved it so much. We highly recommend Beyond the gate, it is worth the drive for sure.

I travel a lot for work by car in Ontario. I like to look for restaurants that aren’t part of a restaurant chain. I stumbled upon beyond the gate and I loved it. The restaurant is small six tables and a very comforting atmosphere. Nice music was playing while the smells from the kitchen took hold I was only stopping for lunch and had no reservation. The corn chowder was amazing and the queso fundido was perfect and very filling. I immediately sent messages to several friends who passed through occasionally. A dinner reservation is required to give the chef ample notice to prepare and have on hand fresh fruit. I can’t say enough good things about the lunch I just had..

Randomly picked a little town coming from Saugeen beach, stopped at this beautiful restaurant with my partner. Looks like family owned nice business. Food was delicious, tasted fresh and made with love literally :D. 100% recommended, for sure will stop by for the good food every time we pass by.

Took my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary and we had an amazing experience. Food is fabulous and locally sourced, Chef Freddy was kind enough to come out and meet us. Must experience the ambiance. Will return, thanks to everyone at Beyond the Gate

Truly excellent food and a very nice chef. My wife and I stopped here for a lunch break on our way to the Bruce Peninsula. It was recommended to us by a friend, but we were still surprised by how great everything tasted. Next time we go up, we will definitely stop here again.

This was an absolute gem of a restaurant. A friend recommended it as a stop for lunch en route to Georgian Bay. It was beyond all expectations! First of all, the owner and chef is full of wit, stories, and culinary gifts. The conversation was probably the best appetizer! As for the food, it rivaled and beat any restaurant in any international city. Fresh, surprising, and completely delicious! Thank you for a jovial afternoon pause. We look forward to visiting again and sampling the wines! (And a rematch on the trivia games!). Merci!

This is a great a cost effective family meal. Great selection and portion size. With the cost of everything going up this is a place where one can still enjoy a good meal out at a reasonable price.

We were passing through town on the way up to Meaford and decided to give it a try as the reviews are great-- so glad we had lunch here! Food was really, really good and the place is charming. He deserves all the accolades here. Excellent experience.
We had a lovely experience with Chef Fred. Very kind and personable. Food was fabulous. Most especially the butter tart crepe…it was divine.

Sooooo we’ve found our new favourite restaurant ❤️
@beyond_the_gate and Chef Fred is AMAZING! We got there early so we could linger and enjoy each course and my goodness is he gifted. All of the flavours are absolutely perfect and he sources his ingredients locally so when you go- you’re fully supporting Canadian and you’re going to love every morsel!
🍽️ Antipasto - Assorted Local Charcuterie (Cheese from Quebec) 🍽️ St Jacques - Scallops, Double Smoked Bacon, Peppers, Mushrooms and Garlic Butter Sauce* 🍽️ Shrimp Scampi - Bok Choy, Peppers, Tomatoes, Garlic Wine Buttery Sauce* 🍽️ Strawberry Crêpe with a hint of Herbes de Provence*
*Warning - you’ll want to lick your plate with every dish - Chef Fred is an incredibly talented Saucier
The restaurant is located in the beautiful @town_shelburne where you’ll also find @lebistrodupain new location, @museumofdufferin and a little further out is @k2milling and @sheldoncreekdairy so make a day of it and show these businesses your support❤️🇨🇦❤️

We were first time diners at Beyond the Gate. We enjoyed our appetizers of beet salad and flatbread. Scallops and Lamb were our mains. We finished by sharing a crème brûlée. It is a relaxed and friendly place with wonderful food. We noted other tables were returning customers. I had googled looking for a well reviewed restaurant within 45 minutes of our home. Beyond the Gate popped up. We were very happy to have discovered what others obviously already knew. Beyond the Garden Gate is beyond good….
