When this Junction spot opened last June, it was the quintessential neighbourhood hang: unpretentious farm-to-table food, a quaintly shabby room and hoodie-wearing servers geeked up on Ontario ingredients. Since then, Farmhouse has ramped up its ambitions to a point where it now transcends the “good, for the Junction” qualifier. The owner, Darcy MacDonell, who used to manage the megawatt Mink Mile bistro La Société, recently hired chef Alexander Molitz. Together, they’re stoking nostalgic cravings, yet still creating a sense of occasion that justifies dropping $100 on dinner. For mushroom soup, the server pours an earthy broth from a silver teapot over charred rosemary that smells like pine needles on a campfire. Pork belly is like Sunday ham dinner with an edge: two candy-skinned pieces with cubes of smoked honey-crisp apple and celery root, and a pile of buttery carrots baked in ash for an alluring hint of ember. And if you visit on a weekend, you’re in for a spectacle: three-foot-long wood slabs parade out of the kitchen, carrying mammoth stacks of côte de beouf that elicit caveman jokes at first, then food orgasms as you bite into the sublimely pink meat, then wistful flashbacks the next day.

Some of the Best Food in all of Toronto! by Kate Compton from The Junction on 2013-04-16

Overall Rating: 10.0 (out of 10)

Farmnhouse Tavern is a true gem in the Junction and I'm absolutely spoiled to have them in my backyard. Brunch or dinner is always stellar and as a chef myself, obsessed with optimal food quality, seasonal and local ingredients, Farmhouse Tavern tops my list by satisfying every criteria when I'm looking for a delicious and satisfying plate of food! Simply great.

Hungry by Mary from Toronto, On on 2012-09-23

Went for brunch this weekend. First disappointment = no tea. None.
Second disappointment = our server forgot to up sell so we ended up having pancakes/ french toast with no breakfast meat. Third disappointment = we all left hungry.
The food was delicious but there was not nearly enough. And I'm sorry but any farm I've been to, people drink tea as well as coffee.
