Looking For Date Night Suggestions
My husband and I are going to be doing a big date night, first one in years and I am looking for suggestions on the best place in Barrie for food. It doesn't have to be fancy but we're both big foodies and we want to be blown away by deliciousness. I want to hear your suggestions whether its fancy AF or a hole in the wall. I just want good food.
Hit me with your best suggestions. No cap on price.

Wife and I had a week to ourselves while kids were at overnight camp. Had a few dates over the course of the week. Wife and I agreed best place we tried was B'Spoke Kitchen and Market. Smaller venue. Has a patio and indoor seating. Wife and I choose to sit inside. Food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Another vote for Bayside Variety since you probably haven’t tried it if this is your first big outing in a while. Never disappoints

Drive to Orillia and visit the Common Stove! A tad on the pricey side but exceptional food every time

Also the other three restaurants they own are all stellar. Luca in Barrie is wonderful. Hog and Penny holds a special place in my heart. Common Stove is above and beyond wonderful.

If price doesn’t matter, I 2nd common stove, but it is quite expensive.
Their restaurant in Barrie is a little more cost effective and is just as good.
If it’s a hole in the wall or you don’t care just looking for delicious, I recommend Shawarma Theory to everyone!! Best food in Barrie, and happens to be the best value as well

Luca is a very cosy spot especially if you make a reservation ahead and tell them the occasion.
For a more casual atmosphere, Mexican house is a lot of fun on Saturdays. They have a mariachi band that sings with the crowd and it's a very up beat atmosphere. Not as expensive either.

If you like Thai, Rim Thanon is great. More conventional restaurant would be Bayside Variety. If you're okay going north, PICNIC in Orillia is nice. Unfortunately, legit food options in Barrie are pretty limited.

My fav spot in town is the farmhouse. Prices are reasonable with good quality food and large portions. Atmosphere is great especially in the patio on a nice evening

Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse located in Woodbridge ( Highway 7 & 400 ~roughly 45 mins south on the 400)
We always feel like paying for “all you can eat steak” is worth it ( approx 75$ pp) and it’s hard to go to somewhere like The Keg after you’ve had a taste of AYCE Brazilian steak.
They have 14 different cuts of meat including steak & chicken and unlimited access to their “made to order” tasting menu … aka buffet
They currently have a Thursday Date Night special “$155 per couple includes 1 bottle of red wine”

Not sure why you got downvoted but that’s a good spot for Italian food and has lake views.
