Found this restaurant through a Google search of best restaurants in Stratford. Decided to try it…read morebc there was Lake Erie perch on the menu. Met there with two of my cousins. We all ordered the perch. It was decent but not great, not sure if it was the batter or the way it was cooked or what ever, but it just was not among the best perch I've ever had. Came w fries that were huge and tasty. The service was very good. The restaurant was very busy. It's a cute diner. I will try it again next time I'm in Stratford bc there were a lot of interesting items on the menu.

The man at the counter, I believe an owner, laughed in my face when I asked if they still carried it. "Laughing - what? Never heard of any such thing!" still laughing. Okay, apparently I'm an idiot for asking for a southern Ontario produced produce available at their competition down Hwy 8. Never again.

Great little ice cream parlour located in Shakespeare!…read more HG Moo's offer hand scooped 40 flavours of Kawartha Dairy ice cream and 16 flavours of Chapman', Legendairy, Shaw's, Coconut Bliss ice cream including no sugar added, dairy free, and nut free flavours. They serve cones, cups, waffle cones, sundaes, floats, milkshakes, floats. They offer an Eggo Waffle Sundae and Brownie Sundae here! A single scoop waffle cone is only $5 tax included. The cozy old fashioned ice cream shop is decorated with classic antiques including lots Coca-Cola memorabilia, Disney stuff, and miscellaneous trinkets. Justin Bieber who grew up in Stratford less than 10 minutes from this shop, has visited here and his framed picture is hanging up on the wall. There is limited seating inside and a few picnic tables outside in front of the building. I stopped in on a very hot summer day for a Coffee Milkshake. I ordered a Small Coffee Milkshake ($6) which is made with real coffee and blended with any flavour of ice cream (I chose Butterscotch Ripple). The coffee shake was very thick, rich, sweet and refreshing! This just what I needed, a cold dessert drink with caffeine too!

They're a VERY cute ice cream spot right by the water in downtown Stratford offering a variety of treats like the aforementioned soft serve with a few different dip choices (peanut butter, chocolate, oreo, blue raspberry, cotton candy, butterscotch, etc etc). They also have vegan options and froyo, floats, sundaes, flurries, sorbets, and more! Pretty much anything you could want when it comes to frozen treats. My cousin and I were playing safe so we both went with a soft serve twist. Mine was doused in a ton of sprinkles and she went with the crushed oreos. They were delightful! We took our down to the water and walked along the path watching the swans and giant ducks and you can't beat that kind of ambiance!

Brch & Wyn is a Stratford, well Ontario for that matter, gem! I LOVE this cozy place. The stone and…read morewood beams give it a fairytale-esque ambiance. The size is perfect for any event, both intimate and spacious. There is a good mix of smaller tables and larger ones that accommodate parties of any size. There is even a cute area in the back with living-space styled seating that offers a very homey feel. The restaurant is so clean, you literally feel like you could eat off the floor. I first visited to attend a Drag Brunch for Crystal Quartz. I've since returned for more of the same, plus a very special Valentine's Day Event that included a five-course dinner and belly-dance show. One of the things that makes this place so wonderful is the inclusion and safe space for both patrons and performers. The owner is so kind and just a wonderful human being. He will welcome you and make you feel like family, along with the rest of his amazing staff. I've never had better service or more wonderful gluten-free food! Unlike other restaurants, there is always something I can eat and it's not just a steak or salad. In fact. the five-course dinner had something for those who cannot eat gluten at every course and it felt like something special, something you can't just get anywhere. There are so many places I go and get cocktails and they either baby down the size, scrimp on the alcohol and overfill the ice. The do not do that here. The cocktails are well worth the price. Excellent mimosas at brunch too! My favourite item for brunch is the GF bfast sandwich. Absolutely delicious! You also get a choice of tots or salad, so if you're feeling more on the healthy side or hungover side, you're covered, lol. I felt like royalty at the 5-course dinner; the food was so elevated and very much fit with the Mediterranean theme of the belly dance event. The first course was bread, olives and pickled (I believe it was onion, could have been beet) and they had two different GF breads for me! Also came with walnut spread and tzatziki sauce, sooooo good! There was a brown butter carrot soup I couldn't get enough of and fried hallumi cheese with pomegranate and honey dukkah, so indulgent. The main was beef kofta on an aromatic salad, absolutely delicious! Dessert for me was ice cream with fresh fruit and choco sauce. The entire dinner was just beautiful. And they had a special love potion drink they were making with gin, but my wonderful server did tequila for me on request. The table was gorgeous with a little candle. I felt very pampered, as I always do at this spot. The price was right too, especially on Valentine's Day and for 5 courses. The belly dance event was so wonderful too! There was a male dancer who works with Crystal Q and he handed out roses during his dance. As a 50-something woman who hasn't gotten flowers in over a decade, it was a touch that made even me tear up a little. All three dancers were so talented, and the show was breathtaking. But all the events at this wonderful venue are always something special. If you see an event booked here on Insta, get your tickets! The performers won't disappoint, the staff is second to none, and the food is an experience. I can't wait to visit again and cannot recommend Brch & Wyn enough!
