I haven’t been to Shelburne to dine since before the Lockdowns and boy do I regret it. My tastebuds will hold this grudge against me for a long time. Brunch was amazing. I had to try many dishes! I ordered the special appetizer as suggested by my lovely server, Jenna, the cheese terrine made with Oka and Raclette and drizzled with a reduced Balsamic. Light, luxurious and delicious. You can also tell how much the chef cares about the quality of everything he sets in front of each guest by how fresh and crisp his side salad is. The arugula was the freshest I’ve ever had and the dressing was beautiful. I asked if Chef Freddy had foie gras today. He did! The potatoes were transformed into delicate layers for the foie gras galette the foie was seared and underneath and the dish was drizzled with a port wine reduction. I cannot believe that Chef can prepare this on the fly for a hungry foodie! The Croque Monsieur was lovely too and the perfect sized serving. Gorgeous Bechamél, quality shaved ham and that beautiful bread and Swiss cheese! Again, the arugula was fresh and perfect. Chef’s crepes made him famous when he attended the Orangeville Farmer’s Market. so I had to order one. I chose the Chocolate Monkey crepe. C’est Bon!!! At the end of my incredible lunch, Chef brought over what he will be preparing for his guests tonight and I’m tempted to cancel our reservation for tonight at another great establishment! He showed me the highly graded Wagyu steak. Let you know if we devour a couple of these tonight!

We found this restaurant a little over a year ago on a whim during date night. We went and had the most amazing food we've both ever tasted we told all our friends and have since made a point to go back once a month at least for our date nights as it's worth the 25 mins drive for us. Everything about this place is fantastic from the food to the service it's top. Honestly I blame mom brain for not writing a review sooner but If you are in the area this is the place to eat no competition.Vegetarian options: Definitely some great vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions you tell Freddy (chef) and he prepares the dish you've ordered keeping those restrictions in mind.Parking: Street parking. Never hard to find a spotWheelchair accessibility: It's on the ground floor and no real step ups or step down.. only thing is it's a small apace so a larger wheelchair might have a harder time moving around but in the nice weather I believe they have a patio !
One of the best dinners I had in Canada, if not the best. A little gem found in Shelburne, ON. Every dish we tried was superb. Amaizing attention.I hope we can visit you again soon.

A hidden gem in Shelbourne! I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Beyond the Gate a few times already and it never disappoints. A truly elevated dining experience in a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere. The service is always very friendly and welcoming and you can tell the chef takes pride in every dish — using high quality, fresh ingredients paired with an impressive level of culinary skill. Can’t recommend this place enough!

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I’m a self admitted food snob and I have nothing but amazing things to say about this establishment. My family and I sat down and tried everything on the menu and can say front to back and back to front it’s absolutely phenomenal. Please come eat here I’m not even joking.

Amazing French cuisine in a tiny hideaway restaurant with just six tables. Great service, amazing wine list and fantastic food. Definitely worth going out of your way to visit.
The food was flavourful and the chef was a delight to interact with. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a cozy and intimate dining experience.
