A Destination +MORE

8 minutes south of Barrie Ontario, (45 minutes north of Toronto on Hwy 27) in the old village of Thornton lies a historic 1854 Queen's Hotel, brought back to life! Picture a yoga wellness centre, and organic restaurant featuring rustic plank floors, mineral-infused walls, antique wood beams, and vintage trim fixtures. Unique and spectacular!

Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or just like a tasty, healthy meal, we've got the menu if you bring the appetite. Our fresh-cook kitchen does not own a microwave, or a fryer.. Because of this, your wait in the dining room may be longer than you are accustomed to. We are breaking the mold for restaurants, raising the bar, and are offering a unique relaxed experience. All organic, top quality, ethical, gluten-free ingredients, and attentive service taking into consideration your health issues. Our house staff are highly trained and if they do not know the answer to your question they have access to expert nutritionists to help educate and inspire you to find the healthiest alternatives on your special night out.

Our dining room is considered casual fine dining, so you can come dressed to the nines or in more casual attire. If you have a pleasant attitude, and an appetite, we look forward to serving you!

Whether you crunch down on a big boisterous salad, warm your soul with a bowl of hearty soup, or sample a savoury entrée, you're sure to feel like you've had a real home cooked meal, the way it was made ‘back in the day’.

And while you're taking care of your inner gastronome, you can also do a little inner work of a different sort, in our beautiful, peaceful yoga studio. Come for a yoga class, a day or overnight retreat. Attend a seminar from world-class nutrition experts. Detox in our infrared sauna room, enjoy a treatment with one of our wellness practitioners.
