Marilynne Restaurant
The restaurant serves modern farm-focused Canadian comfort food. Think croquettes, fried chicken sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches, chili and French onion soup, plus coffee or local craft beer to wash it all down.
A Toronto chef is opening his own restaurant in a 130-year-old fire hall in Grey County after fleeing the city where he worked in restaurants for over a decade. He was once part of the management team at Food Dudes, and has also worked at Estia, County General and Antler. Bannon was born just a block away from the fire hall and grew up 15 minutes south, on a farm near Dundalk. His family has been farming in Grey County since the 1890s, and he spent his summers on family farms and has been working in kitchens since the age of 10.
