Urban Pantry Restaurant
A Sophisticated Farm-to-Table Dining Experience in Downtown Uxbridge BY LESLEY WILKINS PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF URBAN PANTRY RESTAURANT
With an aesthetic and menu to rival any downtown Toronto establishment, Urban Pantry Restaurant is a hub for sophisticated dining nestled in the heart of historic Uxbridge.
F
or over 10 years the sparkling urban décor and stylish outdoor dining area has provided families and couples with an ideal backdrop for connecting over contemporary Canadian farm-to-table cuisine served with a generous helping of Greek hospitality.
Throughout the challenges of covid lockdowns and seating restrictions this beloved dining hotspot has found innovative ways to continue serving their dedicated customers. From comforting family-style meals ready for pickup to well spaced seating on their newly expanded patio, Urban Pantry owner Niki Filntissis has met each challenge head on and her devoted clientele has backed her every step of the way. “It was unbelievable,” says Filntissis, “when Ontario went into lockdown and the restaurant doors closed, Uxbridge not only embraced the new pick-up model, many of our clients actually made a point of ordering every week specifically to ensure that the restaurant survived lockdown.
