Painters Hall Bistro - Barrie, Ontario

Amazing local cuisine (except the kangaroo, am wondering where the local kangaroo farm is LOL) served in an intimate dining setting. Very accommodating staff, well prepared dishes, with good portion sizes. Definitely will come again next time we're in town!

Went there for hubby's birthday and Barrielicious. Food was amazing, great service. Happy to have discovered this little gem. Will sure go back

2nd time returning to this restaurant. Unassuming front entrance but food is top-notch! Their prix-fixe menu had a great selection and their charcuterie board and curry mussels were amazing. The mains were also very delicious though I believe a little too greasy. Waitress was busy and service was a little ... slower but food is definitely worth coming. Read more

This place is easily one of Barrie’s best restaurants hands down and although the environment is fantatasic, you can always take some to go. This is exactly what I did last Friday night. After a long work week my friend and I really didn’t feel like cooking and we certainly ... didn’t feel like going out. Stopping in on the way home and grabbing an artisan pasta dish for her and their renown beef short rib for me ensured we didn’t have to compromise. I would highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation. If you’ve been, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, you owe it to yourself to go. Read more

Wonderful experience. Looking forward to going back. Cozy place with a great atmosphere. Original brick walls inside, antique wood flooring, etc. Had the soup of the day - squash with chipotle - delicious! Main was the braised beef short rib with risotto. Incredibly tender and perfectly flavourful. Our server recommended a ... glass of Shiraz which was perfect. Had some nice conversation with our server during our visit as well - he made it extra-special! Read more
