The cuisine at Blackfriars combines precise technique and skill with quality, hand-selected ingredients. The restaurant supports and depends on indie farmers, sustainable fisheries, local artisans and craftspeople for seasonally changing offerings. Owner Emanuela Frongia and chef Bryan Lavery ensure that the cooking and hospitality celebrate the farm-to-table experience with food, drink, and authentic flavours grown in southwestern Ontario.

The Scene
This heritage building neighbourhood bistro is central to one of London’s oldest communities, just west of London’s downtown core, drawing guests from all over the city and beyond. The bistro’s namesake, Blackfriars Bridge (two blocks east), is a stunning, recently refurbished 19th-century wrought iron marvel. In addition to a bright yet intimate dining room, there is a new patio at the side of the building for alfresco dining.
