Upon driving up to The Granite, you can see it's located right on the river with a deck facing it, and it looks to be an older converted house. We were all digging the 70's/ 80's era rock tunes throughout our meal and helped give the experience a nostalgic ambience. I ordered a unique mocktail with a hosemade raspberry and basil syrup- it was so good and different than anything I'd tasted before. For my entree, I had the Ginger Sesame Pasta. WOW! This was such a delicious dish! Everything about it was delicious. The peppers and onions were grilled to perfection, and the chicken was tender and juicy having just been fried on a golden batter. All this layered onto some Cantonese Style Noodles- it was the dish I didn't know I needed! Our meal at The Granite was hearty and delicious! It kept us going for the long drive back to Toronto. Next time I'm in Bancroft, I'll definitely be back to have this dish and drink again. They were so good!

Bancroft Brewery Pub - A Hidden Gem Worth Stopping For!…read more We stumbled on the Bancroft Brewery Pub on our way to Barrie, Ontario, looking for a quick lunch--and wow, did this place exceed all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm, rustic atmosphere. They have a beautiful patio, which would be perfect on a sunny day, and our waitress was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and super helpful. I ordered the Iron Man Burger, and it was hands-down one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Juicy, perfectly cooked, loaded with toppings, and a very generous portion--it left me full and satisfied. The sauce was so delicious that I wished I had a whole jar of it to dip my fries into too! My wife went with the Fish and Chips, and they were equally impressive: crispy, light batter, tender fish inside, and also a very generous portion. She was all smiles and cleaned her plate without hesitation. On top of that, the service was fast, and everything came out piping hot. Whether you're just passing through or looking for a new favorite spot, Bancroft Brewery Pub is a must-visit. Amazing food, big portions, great service, and a cozy, welcoming vibe. Two thumbs up, five stars--we'll definitely be back!

So, looking for another option we droves to Maynooth and found Sun Run. It was very busy! There was seating indoors as well as outdoors. With it being a rather chilly morning, we got lucky and snagged one of the tables as another party was leaving. You place your order at the counter and they'll bring it out to you. They have many baked goods like homemade Pop Tarts, Cupcakes and Honey Crullers. But they also have breakfast and lunch sandwich options. The 3 others in my party got breakfast sandwiches, and I got a sandwich from the lunchtime menu. I opted for the grilled cheese. I'm so glad it did- it was great! The bread was baked in house and you could really taste the quality. Then where was 2 types of cheddar with thinly sliced apples ham and some honey. It was delicious and wasn't too greasy or decadent. Everyone else at my table raved about their sandwiches too, including my sister-in-law who got the buckwheat gluten-free option and loved it so much, she made an inquiry as to if she could buy some of the bread to take home. While they don't sell the loaves, it says a lot that she was moved enough to even ask. Overall a great experience here. Sun Run saved the morning- there's a total lack of breakfast restaurants open on Sunday in these parts, so we were really happy to not only get a meal, but impressed by how delicious it was!

Price of pizza was reasonable, but to our absolute surprise the cost of the salad was $50. Yes, $50. Hard to believe. It was delicious, but they should really warn people of that cost when ordering. We never thought to ask, as we never in our wildest dreams thought it would cost that much. We called the next day to inquire why our bill was so high- we were sure there must have been an error. But no, it was correct.
