Located in downtown Burlington with beautiful patio views of the lake sits an eclectic restaurant, jazz bistro and brewery in one. Pepperwood Bistro is known for its cozy, relaxed environment and ambient lighting (no matter what time of the day you're visiting). A popular haunt for brunch, in part due to the incredible jazz sounds by Michael McGuire, Pepperwood has a delightful menu diverse enough to satisfy any taste.



You can't go to Pepperwood's without trying one of their on-premise brewed beers. They have six house brands to choose from, Pale Ale, Dry Hopped Best Bitter, Cream Ale, Red Ale, Monkey Brown, and a Framboise. And, each month their brewer, Paul Dickey, creates one special keg of beer - a treat to look forward to. To get on the brewer's mailing list - for full details on their monthly features - email brewer@pepperwood.on.ca.

This weekend we made our way up to Pepperwoods for our weekly brunch. Michael had the BISTRO BREAKFAST - $10 (top left) and I had the divine CARDAMOM CALVADOES FRENCH TOAST - $12 (top right). Now heed this warning, if you don't like sweet then stay away from the French Toast. Made from 4 triangles of bread pudding which have been dipped in eggs and fried and a side of whipped cream and berries & bananas, it's not only one of the most delicious breakfasts I've had, but guaranteed to clog at least one artery. The Bistro Breakfast is a pretty standard breakfast of eggs, bacon, farmer's fresh sausage, oven roasted tomatoes and home fries...but my husband loves it.

Upcoming Events
The Pepperwood Bistro and Brewery will be celebrating its 14th annual Beer Festival on February 24th, 2008 from 2:30 till 5:00 p.m. The cost is $30 per person, and tickets will be available in advance. Located at 1455 Lakeshore Road in Burlington Ontario, the Pepperwood is one of a handful of brew pubs in the province. This event has been a favourite of both the participants and the breweries over the years. The chef pulls out all the stops and puts on a great spread to enjoy as you sample beer from many of Ontario’s premier micro breweries. Of course the Pepperwood offers its own products for sampling as well as offering a selection not normally on tap. I intend to bring back the Chipotle beer again this year as well as a cask of something special. Last years breweries included Better Bitters, Black Oak, Brick, Creemore, Denison’s, Great Lakes, King, Labatt-Stella, Lakeport, McAuslan, Mill Street, Niagara, Pepperwood, Taps, and Trafalgar.
