After a quick search for what was nearby my girlfriend and I decided on the Timeless Café. They were having their date night special after all. We drove into what seemed to be a country estate and were welcomed into a very cozy farm house. We were brought to a lightly tabled dinning room and were pleasantly surprised to hear live music, which was nice and light. The room was decorated by many pieces of art, which are for sale if anyone wished to purchase one, and the wooden beams and brick walls really gave it a good country feel.
We were seated at a small table and drink orders taken quickly. We were recommended the Pinot Grigio which was dry and tasteful. Some fresh bread was brought out that was accompanied peach and cheese and rosemary and lemon butters. They were interesting combinations which was a nice surprise.
Our salads were brought out, which were a mixed green with pecans, goat cheese, and a light fig balsamic vinaigrette. Everything blended nicely together and paired with the bread it was a nice opening to the meal.
Up next came the flatbread which was topped with barbecue chicken, red onion, beans, corn, cheddar cheese, and a marinara sauce. It was ok. All flavours flowed together nicely, except I thought the corn tasted as if it was from frozen bag. Now keep in mind it’s not really corn season, but with a menu that changes weekly why choose to have such cheap tasting ingredients. I could be completely wrong but to me frozen corn has a very distinct taste.
One of the featured menu items for the week was pork tenderloin, which we both ended up ordering. It was stuffed with pears and herbs, with a blueberry wine reduction, served on maple sweet mashed potatoes, with cauliflower, and brussels sprouts as sides. It was full of flavour with every bite, but the most surprising thing was that the sprouts were pan fried. The potatoes were nice and creamy with just the slightest hint of maple as promised. The pinot paired nicely with the tenderloin which mixed pleasantly with the stuffing.
For dessert we were able to split a chocolate truffle cake with cranberry sauce, topped with orange spiced whipped cream and garnished with toast coconut and salted almonds. When it was brought out it looked like a soufflé which was different from what I was expecting but still good. The cake was rich and light, and when paired with the cranberry sauce it carried a good tang.
All in all it was a pleasant dinning experience but there wasn’t anything that had any wow factor for me. The staff there was really good, the décor was great, and the food was a little more than ok. I’ll definitely be checking their website to see what their menus have that week just to see if something sounds interesting.

Wonderful. Worth the time to hunt down this small place on the edge of the country. Fresh ingredients and all local made. We had an early lunch but it looked like a great place to just drop in for a coffee and pastry.
It clearly has a loyal clientele that has grown by work of mouth and who that appreciate it enough to make the drive.

It’s like pure bliss and crystallized pleasure to visit here, be welcomed like a longtime friend, and eat homemade dishes.
The toast here was amazing. It sounds funny to rave about toast, but have you ever had thick toasted slices of freshly baked bread? I had forgotten what it was like to eat freshly baked bread. The crust was exquisite, crunchy, crispy, charred slightly on one side. The inside was soft, fluffy, nutty in flavor from the multigrains. It doesn’t look aesthetically pretty, but boy, does it ever taste good. You forget how good a bread crust can be after eating all that store bought bread for so long.
Was it a wood-​fired oven that they have here? I don’t know, probably not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
There is also a reclaimed wood and antique store in the barn next to the café. Great for exploring if you have a taste for beautiful old wood. Basically, an anti-​home depot.
