Bruce Wine Bar is a Thornbury wine bar and kitchen with chef-owner Shaun Edmonstone, operator/co-owner Nicole Paara, wood-fired pizzas, seasonal Ontario-leaning plates, a sommelier-shaped wine program, and current midweek prix fixe and drink features.

Pom Pom is a Thornbury-born scoop shop from Rheanna Kish and Andrea Greyerbiehl, built around dairy, plant-based and nut-free ice cream under an ice-cream-for-everyone idea.

The Corner Cafe & Grill is Thornbury’s small-town meeting-and-eating room: a historic corner building, homemade pub comfort, Monday Wing Day, and a calendar that turns Friday/Saturday nights and alternating Tuesdays into music, open-mic, and trivia territory.
