Paradise Farms Prime Beef Bistro

Good spot for a weekend lunch. Usually not very busy. You can also order coffee/​tea. Not a bad spot to do some work or study on weekends.

I used to love this place before when they had good service but today i came here
The server didn’t ask if i want breakfast or lunch just assumed i want lunch and brought me the menu. Then didn’t ask how i want my steak or my eggs or even my potatoes!!! Just assumed!!! Now i have beef bacon ! And raw steak sitting on my table that I didn’t even touch !!! And they don’t take any responsibility
Worst costumer service ever

Went here because the other place I wanted to eat lunch was closed today for some reason. (Punked)
Starving. Hubby ordered the spaghetti bolognese (wasn’t available), 2^nd punk. He opted for the pasta of the day.
I ordered the Philly steak sandwich (sold out, 3^rd punk) it was 12:45pm and they weren’t even busy!
Service was decent and food came out at a reasonable time since they were I busy. I’ll try them again but I have no desire really.

I visited this place during a slow Wednesday for Lunch, being my first time I really didn’t know what to expect. As I entered I was promptly greeting by the hostess and shown to my table. A short time after my server came and explained the processes of how they acquire they’re meats (The owner of the restaurant also owns a farm). This very long story could’ve been shorted by simply saying our meats is Organic and locally grown.
For my appetizer I had the «featured» Jalapeño Poppers which were okay but slightly disappointed as they tastes like the ones you can buy frozen at a grocery store. The only redeeming part was they were filled with Cream Cheese and not Cheese Sauce like some are.
For my main I ordered the Château Burger. Generally speaking it is a very good burger, the beef patty was made from Kobe Beef and had a very nice texture to it. Having said that, as per my liking I found the burger to be a bit bland and would ask for a hot sauce to give it a kick. As my side I had the Onion Rings which were very good as they are made in-​house, but next time is stick with the fries.
My meal was finished off with a Coffee and Cheese Cake (Godiva Chocolate I think). Both were very good and can’t really say more than that.
All in all I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to try a new spot for your beef fix.
P.S they also have a selection of other dishes and you’re able to purchase a selection of cuts from the in-​store butcher.

Excellent lunch meal. Steak in the sandwich was tender. Love that beef. Large portion. Attentive service. I will be back.

Organic, GMO/​Antibiotic free meat at a decent price… And the quality is second-​to-​none. The burgers are fantastically portioned, and they’ve got amazing cheesecake for desert (amazing as well).
The staff are lovely, and they make great lattes!

Saturday night. Parking was a little scarce. They dress their waitstaff up nicely, but they aren’t very proficient. They start by trying to take an appetizer order while we are being seated. I asked for a minute. 10 minutes later…
staff very slow.
Watched another table seated and served an appetizer that we have ordered before us.
Pointed it out to the waiter… who seemed indifferent about it.
Slow slow slow!
Oh please… let the food be good.
The Food:
The steak came rare instead of medium rare. The food was tasty, but again marred by the staff not remembering I ordered wine with dinner. No 90 second check, food for one of the five of us came 8 minutes after everyone else’s food, without apology or explanation.
One of the other staff tried bussing our table… very uncoordinated. We feared for plates dropping.
Really bad service. Waiter kept calling me friend. Very disappointed.

Our culturally diverse and international small group of 4 decided to try out Paradise Farms based on Unilocal reviews I read — and not the fact that two in our party actually lived three blocks away and have never tried it.
The P’Farms was great. The burgers were of generous portion, great variety, and quick and prompt service — not to mention prices around $ 13 for most selections (almost forgot I was in Canada, let alone Toronto).
One member of our clan exclaimed «This menu is much more eclectic than I expected, «which I don’t know what that meant, but her tone of voice was pleased. As the American in the group, I was happy that the tables were of the same height in both the dining area AND the bar, you leg dangling high-​top haters know what I mean.

Came second time to this place to have breakfast they refused to serve us breakfast both times saying that only lunch menu is available. Although we came 11:40am and were given a breakfast menu. By the time the server came to take an order it was 11:55, she refuse to take a order from breakfast menu and suggested to order from lunch menu that had mostly meat dishes that I did not feel eating for my breakfast .
Very disappointed, will not return.

When I used to live in the area, I would go there super early in the morning with my laptop to have breakfast and work done. Very pleasant and quiet.
Also, they have absolutely the best burgers, best fries and best mayo!!! Thinking about them make me hungry!

Great KOBE BEEF burger !
Not cheap, but worth trying!

OH EM GEE! This was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Hands down! Game over! Read some awesome reviews and was in the area, so figured I’d check it out!
A corner spot in a bunch of condos with a larger space than I thought, this was a nice spot to get some food! Wasn’t busy at all when we went on a Monday night, so got a table right away!
I already knew what I wanted before I arrived, so got our order in right away. Decided I’d go for the all-​famous Château Burger (Kobe Burger), and let me tell you, it was AMAZING! A huge patty, all dressed up with your choice of sauce. I went for the Basil Pesto, which was great, but may go for the Dijon Mustard next time. A little messy to eat, but came on a beautiful ciabatta bun, with tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and bell peppers. Definitely one of the best burgers I’ve ever had!
Pretty good service as the place was pretty much empty, but quick staff overall. Just needed to ask for more water at one point…
Nothing better than a gourmet burger made from Kobe Beef. If you’re a fan of good beef and good burgers, this is definitely one of the best places to go! Check it out!

Went back for the steak (Chateaubriand). The steak was done a bit towards medium well or well (I ordered medium). The server offered to redo a steak, but I declined.
Went there with 5 other people. Someone everyone thought the steak/​burgers weren’t as great as last time. I wonder if it’s the cook that night who screwed everything up.
The server (Chris) is an awesome guy.
Conclusion: First time I had steak, and it wasn’t that good. I’m reluctant to try again…
⁷⁄₁₀ for quality. ⁸⁄₁₀ for value. 9.5÷10 for service. ⁸⁄₁₀ overall (not an average).

Was recommended this place by a friend who enjoys his quality meat. Surprised I had not heard of this place sooner, given how close it is to where I live. Despite being near a major intersection, the storefront feels somewhat hidden away.
ATMOSPHERE:
The place is much larger than it appears from outside, and actually has several adjoined rooms leading to a small bar in the backroom. Not sure whether this place is going for an upscale kind of vibe, or a more casual atmosphere — either way, the prices are definitely upscale.
FOOD:
Unfortunately, the flagship «Kobe burger» was sold-​out. The «Stuffed Burger» was a more than adequate replacement however. With two patties of Angus beef, stuffed with peppers, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, and a list of other complimentary toppings (in this case, lettuce, tomato, and aioli sauce), this burger definitely was a feast for the taste buds.
The Buttermilk Battered Onion Rings were not quite what they were hyped up to be. They were much blander and thinner then expected, and only came with a few rings — this was disappointing given that this costed an additional $ 6 on top of the burger price.
SERVICE:
The server/​bartender was really engaging and attentive to our needs. He took the time to chat with us, answer questions about the backstory of the bistro and its owner, and even hunted down a sports channel for us as we sat by the bar.
SUMMARY:
While the prices could definitely lower, the quality/​taste of the meat and the strong service means that I will definitely be back here — still have to try that Kobe burger!

Wow things have changes since my last review — from just a coffee/​dessert place to a full fledged restaurant and bar.
The latest updates are:
This is now a sit-​down with wait-​service restaurant. Paradise has really fancified this place (proper table cloths and cutler to boot). There is a bar and if you feel like ordering bottles of wine, you can actually choose from either a Barolo or a Chateuneuf-​du-​Pape!
At times, I do miss the grab-​and-​go-​sit-​yourself-​down as it was a great place to grab a quick bite.
The meat store is now beside the restaurant and lots of fresh cuts to choose from. The head butcher mentioned that if you don’t see a particular cut, there is no problem for you to make a special order.
Service is amazing! Food is still great! And now serving breakfast and lunch.

Have been driving by this place for a long time and finally had the opportunity to eat here Saturday night.
The set up is, you place your order and find your own seating type of place and retrieve your food when ready.
The steak dinner on the menu caught my attention right away. I was a little hesitant about it because most of the reviews suggested a sandwich instead. Told my friend to get sandwich but both of us decided on the samething.
8oz with salad (choice of ceasar, greek or house) and fries for $ 17.95. Steak was cooked very well. Seasoning was good too. Salad was very fresh and the fries were a little boring. No dinner roll :(
The price was a bit expensive for an 8oz steak but, the quantity of the meat and freshness of salad compensated for the price in a way.
I don’t think I’m wrong to say that most people would rather spend $ 17.95 (on a steak dinner) in a restaurant setting instead.
Will I come back… yes. I need to try one of their sandwiches. It might change my rating for them, so stay tuned for my update on this place.

A nice change from the typical fast food chain type of restaurants. The restaurant was very spacious and has a patio as well.
The service is very friendly and they explain anything you might not be familiar with. The best part is the free toppings you can add onto your sandwiches and burgers such as sautéed mushrooms, jalapeño peppers, guacamole, onions, lettuce, tomato, different sauces like ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, etc. There is additional cost for cheese though.
The items on the menu is individual and is pricier than the typical burger but its more gourmet style. Expect to pay at least 7 – 12 $ for a burger. They also have poutine, onion rings to order on the side as well.
Ordering style is you have to order, they give you a buzzer and then you have to wait until your food is ready.
The good:
Free lemon water
Clean bathrooms
Customizing option
Friendly service
Free parking at the back
The food is fresh!
The not so good:
Can be pricey
Don’t recommend the veggie burger
Overall, I would give this a try! The beef has no additives and preservatives.

I really wanted to like this place after reading the back story about how this place came to fruition but sadly, it’s not to be.
I will start by saying the place is generally clean, has a neat order system where after you place your order, you are given a disc that vibrates and lights up when your meal is ready. Also, the poutine is quite delicious.
Where this place lacks could be solely on personal preference, how the meat is cooked. I prefer a medium-​rare to medium cooked patty and on a flat-​top grill. I found the burger dry and overcooked and probably done on a grill. Since they also raise and source the meat, they should stand by the quality of their product and not need to overcook it unless the customer requests it.
In the end, the burger patty was quite bland and served on a cibatta bun when I think it would have been better served on an actual hamburger bun. I guess since I’m paying $ 10 for my burger, might as well make it seem gourmet.
I did have the Highland burger and do like a good Kobe burger so there is the chance that I will be back to give it a try. I just won’t be in a rush to do it.

I went here for the infamous Kobe beef burgers.
It’s much better value than the W Burger Bar that’s for sure. Unfortunately, the last time I went there the burgers were a bit too well done so it was hard to distinguish between the highland vs the kobe beef burgers. I recall the last time I went there the difference was noticeable.
Personally I prefer the highland burgers because I do like the tougher meaty feeling compared to the kobe which is a bit more tender. However, they are both good in my opinion.
The desserts are also quite good. I had the mango thingy the last time I was there.
I think the only sticking point for me is the price when the desserts get involved. However, if you don’t get them, it feels wrong especially since they’re tiny little delicious things. They’re not overtly sweet either since I don’t have a strong sweet tooth, but I still like good desserts.
They also have this kobe burger plate which I have NEVER tried. It’s always out of stock when I go there. I think I’ll call them up before I go next time to make sure it is there before I commit to going.

All these posters of pasture and logos about locally raised in Caledon, Ontario, 100% Angus Beef with no added growth hormones caught my eyes when I stepped inside Shane Baghai Paradise Farms Café.
Of course when the cashier asked what I want, I ordered then 6oz Angus Burger ($ 6.95) with a side of Homemade Buttermilk battered Onion Rings ($ 3.50).
I almost finished half of my Root beer before my order is ready. I do understand that it is cook when order, so don’t come here and expect a quick lunch.
Free Toppings are quite unique with my favourite being Sauteed Fresh Mushroom, House Salsa, Paradise House Guacamole, Caramelized Glazed Onion, extra Jalapeño pepper and I made myself a Mexican burger!
My burger was cooked medium with pink inside without asking, maybe it is standard. so if you like your cooked to well done, please make sure you requested that. I personally find it is not too bad, but the patty is a little bland, a little mushy… and I was a little disappointed.
The onion ring I definitely won’t order that again… for the price I paid I got 4 rings… and they weren’t hot anymore by the time I am eating them because my burger took so long to be cooked!
The set up of the café though is really nice. There are huge windows to look at on the busy traffic on Sheppard Avenue. The patio has both shaded and sunny area too… but can be quite dusty from the exhaust systems from all the cars driving along Sheppard.
Free Parking at the back of the café, great if you are driving.
