This month Chef of Merit welcomes Jason Stoner of “The Beacher Café.”
The Beacher Café is located in Toronto Ontario has been around since the mid 80’s- it is one of the favourites in the area, if you are there in the summer months, you will be able to tell that very quickly, by the line ups.
Along with the regular fare of burgers and pizzas you will find full service breakfasts, week end brunches, and wonderful entrees from seafood to pasta.
What impressed me was their variety of foods for such niche clients as vegetarians, offering an amazing Pita Zucchini Bianca, fruit plate, and other menu items for the vegetarian or the health conscious, and being a vegetarian, I was not disappointed with the selections or the taste!
Chef Jason Toner, joined The Beacher in 2008, before that Jason was the Executive Chef at the Bungalow Café, also in Toronto. Watching the many faces, it was easy to tell that the customers where enjoying the food, and that many of them were regulars.
Peter Martineau, owner, calls The Beacher, The Landmark Beach restaurant, as they have been there now for over 25 years, it does not take you long to discover why people keep coming back, not only does Jason do a great job with the food, but the restaurant itself is very laid back and comfortable, often with great Jazz music to accompany your meal.
I highly recommend The Beacher Café the next time you are in Toronto!
5 STARS!!
