What an incredible restaurant located in the heart of Woodbridge! Essence Bistro checked all the boxes: delicious variety of food, elevated drink menu and scrumptious desserts in a beautiful atmosphere. Beka was incredibly kind and recommended excellent pairings for both the wine and food.

Amazing food, I loved the farm to table concept while still incorporating top worldly ingredients, as well as the wine pairings for each dish, along side the decadent desserts and one of a kind service and atmosphere.I keep bringing all my friends here to try each dish! I also heard they switch out the menus for each season which I am so looking forward to experiencing.5/5 stars all round. Highly recommend.
What a great place to enjoy amazing food, service and ambience.The best part is knowing that it’s “farm to table”.10/10

If you’re someone who eats with their eyes like myself let’s start with the presentation and serving ware, nothing like functional and elegant this place had both . Had brunch and it was awesome starting with the burrata , eggs completo , eggs+soldiers , French toast, and cheesecake it was a meal fit for any foodie. Service and staff was prompt and felt welcomed and looked after. Looking forward to experience the dinner menu .

Came here for my birthday brunch! It was such a nice vibe, the staff was super friendly and so accommodating. The food was so fresh and delicious, the plating and the ambience was just superb! I would definitely come back here again!Vegetarian options: Great selectionDietary restrictions: I was so amazed they had pretty much everything on their menu gluten free. With someone who has celiac it is hard to find great options and this place was it!

An absolute gastronomic delight! From the first bite to the last, every dish showcased culinary brilliance. The flavors were harmonious, and the presentation was artistry on a plate. Fresh, high-quality ingredients shone through in each dish. Must try’s I’d say is the mushroom risotto, toro tuna, lamb chops, oh and the cheesecake is like no other!!

A spectacular food experience in the heart of Woodbridge. The ambiance, design, service and inventiveness of their menu will keep you coming back. I especially appreciate their dedication to using only organic, locally sourced ingredients. On top of that, their selection of wines and specialty cocktails really elevate your dining experience. Must try’s: the tuna toro, the lamb chops, risotto, and specialty cheeses. It’s our go-to spot in Vaughan. No other place like it.
