our philosophy

Vegetable-forward, flavour first

At Tenedor Wine Bar, nearly 70% of our menu is built around vegetables. Not as a side note, but as the soul of the experience.

Our cooking celebrates seasonality, texture, depth, and thoughtful simplicity. We work with local ingredients whenever possible and prepare most dishes from scratch daily.

We believe food can feel generous, comforting, elegant, and vibrant all at once.

Our approach to mindful dining includes:

small-batch preparation
seasonal vegetables
natural sweeteners like maple syrup and sugar cane
alternative flours
balanced ingredients
low-intervention wines

the experience

Small Dining Room. Personal Hospitality.

Tenedor is a cozy, chef-driven restaurant designed for slow evenings, conversation, and connection.

Our intimate dining room seats 10–12 guests, with a small seasonal patio for 8 guests during warmer months. We cook and serve our guests personally, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that feels closer to a European neighbourhood wine bar than a traditional restaurant.

Because we prepare most dishes fresh each day in limited quantities, reservations and reservation confirmations help us reduce waste and offer the best possible experience.
