This past Sunday my beautiful family gathered to celebrate the confirmation of my little cousin, Julia. 😇
We were treated to a reception & dinner at the incredible Terra Restaurant in Thornhill, Ontario. I can say with confidence that it was one of the best fine dining experiences I've had in years! The food and service was absolutely outstanding, and that is putting it mildly... 25 people at the table and our glasses were always full, every single course and meal that hit the table was cooked to utter perfection and the atmosphere was perfect... I was beyond impressed!
Big thanks to Andrew, Dimitri and all the staff that took such good care of our family during this epic meal! Please pass along my sincere compliments to the chef and kitchen staff as well... it was my first time eating at Terra and I will definitely be back...
I'll be spreading the good word about your restaurant far and wide... Stay blessed and keep rising!
There are so few fine dinning experiences left where there is white linen on the tables and the staff are dressed in suites. Your chair is pulled out for you and your napkin is placed on your lap. The attentive staff is there to make your experience extra special and the food is top-notch. It's no surprise that every restaurant owned and operated by Substance Food Group takes the dining experience to the next level. If you haven't had a chance to eat here, set up a special night and go for it. And once you cross this off your bucket list add Francobollo and Sarpa.
Amazing staff and amazing food, would definitely recommend this to everyone:)
I loved the service, very friendly, they let me steal the little mini oyster tabasco bottles :0)
Food was excellent and the entire room we were in had a great vibe. Lots of happy people.
Expensive...... but worth every penny. I will visit again!
Spent New Years Eve with my kids at Terra. Excellent food great atmosphere lots of fun!!!!!! Staff, food, drinks, music and company 5 Stars !!!!!
The dinner was absolutely outstanding its a new menu. New chefs. New attitude. It was really the best dinner i ever had
The atmosphere and the charm was unique❤️
It has been few days and i still think anout my meal . Iam very very pleased cant wait to go back.
The best dinner every year on our anniversary. Never disappointed us. Keep up the great standard of fine dining. Just a little advice fix the chairs at the bar and the bar appolstery is worn out.
I enjoyed my birthday dinner especially with such a beautiful ambience and delicious food. The live music was a great way to end the evening.
Fantastic meal and great service. It was a perfect birthday celebration. Terra is always one of my faves. I've been dining there since they opened in 1995. 💕
Perfect dining venue for some fabulous food. Amazing old school service with attentive and engaged staff. The rack of Lamb was perfect as was the other dishes ..

Valentine's Day at Terra = 👌🏼 perfection. We loved the food, atmosphere, service, and the roses they gave to every single lady there. The rack of lamb is amazing and must be tried! We started with a Caesar salad and calamari, both amazing. I heard the oysters here are good as well and I wanna try them next time. The Salmon is also really good if you like turnip sauce. I definitely recommend this place.

Last month I had the pleasure of attending a menu tasting at Terra Restaurant! Located in the heart of Thornhill, Terra has developed a reputation as one of the best restaurants in the GTA – home of the best steaks in GTA. Luckily enough for me,I had the opportunity to celebrate their 20th anniversary last month whilst sampling a wide array of their speciality items.
The food is incredible at Terra! Especially the fresh oysters, steaks and Ostrich fan!
I went to Terra, which admittedly is a little out of town, and had a lovely evening in the romantic setting.
The wine is good and there is plenty to choose from (for all price ranges.)
The menu is edging on the pricey but the Oysters are reasonable at $2.50 each.
I had scallops and pork belly to start, which was delicious with excellent big, juicy scallops. I followed this up with the Ostrich fan for main which is served medium rare on a bed of mushroom risotto. I cannot recommend this dish more! SO GOOD. The meat was tender and so tasty, plus it was great to try something a little different.
For dessert I opted for the Dulce de Leche cheesecake, which was heavy but delicious. I would totally recommend sharing this with someone if you want a nice tasty dessert but don't feel you can manage anything too dense.
Overall a great experience with very friendly and helpful staff.
Their grilled chicken is one of the best in t dot. White meat is hard to perfect, they cook it near perfection. Pretty pricey, worth it once in awhile.

It's been 10 yrs since our family moved out of this area. We returned to this restaurant with a great experience. Food was delicious, service was professional, and atmosphere was lovely. The waiter was knowledgeable with the menu and quality, and did not hesitate to take back a dish that was not what we had expected. We also appreciated his honesty when we asked if we had ordered too much! Highly rated and will return.
Terra is still on point...fine dining at it's best.. In my opinion, you get what you pay for. Top quality service & food prepared professionally. Chef Perrin has directed his kitchen team to consistent standards for many decades, but when he is hands on, you can see & taste the perfection of his dishes.My last visit, I was very impressed with our dinner & was informed that the Chef was at the helm of the stoves & was executing the flawless appetizers & mains. They should advertise when he is actually cooking. All in all, it's always a great dining experience, some reviews are sent by low class diners that don't know much about fine dining.
Good and service are top notch. This is a hidden gem. Also pretty sure it's an Italian restaurant so I'm not sure why it's classified as Canadian
Excellent!. My family and I dined here tonight. I'd give it a 10/10. The portions were huge. The service was excellent. The hostess was a little slow but all of the servers were excellent. We shared all of the apps in a platter of calamari, scallops, tomato/buffalo mozzarella salad, grilled shrimps, and ahi tuna. I could have been done after that, we were so full. I had the duck! it was cooked to perfection. I tried my grandmother's lamb, also amazing. Everything had tons of flavor. The desserts were outstanding. Very rich! Look, the prices are high. Know that. But you get what you pay for! I will definitely be back. I recommend this restaurant for any special occasion.
Fantastic I always have such a great experience it's fine dining without having to go downtown, amazing food and service. I highly recommend
The food was delicious. Came here for my birthday with my friend. We ordered the seared ahi tuna and the seared foie gras as appetizers and for our main we had grilled bison tenderloin and the Australian rack of lamb. We didn't have any room for dessert so we missed out :( the food was delicious and service was wonderful.
True definition of great fine dining. I've been there twice and both experience were impeccable. We went for my husband's birthday the service was amazing dispite how busy they were. The food was absolutely delicious. If you want to impress someone, I highly recommend this place. Definitely get the shared appetizer (buffalo cheese, seared tuna.. delish!) I've ordered a medley of fish and it was superb. My husband had a steak and we were constantly sharing bites because both were so good. A speciality they have is the ostrich. Definitely worth trying as well. Service is respectable, classy and my definition of great fine dining.
Went with hubby a couple of weeks ago using my groupon. I thought the food, service and atmosphere all lived up to the fine dining experience i normally associate with high-end restaurants in more urban areas. I started with the arugula salad with pear, blue cheese and walnuts - a classic combo and it was done right. The main I chose was the lamb chops which were also delicious. I was really full after my meal and didn't have room for dessert, but the selection was good. When it came time to pay, I expected an eye roll or something for using a groupon, but they happily took the number down off my phone and politely told me that gratuity was included in the bill since I was using a groupon. That was fine by me, and actually, I appreciated that they took time to tell me this, because I might have not noticed and double-tipped if they didn't.
TERRA. A recent return to Terra was a wonderful evening. Highly recommended.
Terra has a cozy and fairly romantic atmosphere with super elegant chandeliers across the dining area. I am a real sucker for chandeliers. The last time I was here, they even had a live jazz band to spice up the dining experience. The staffs are friendly and responsive. A good selection of wines are available on their menu, and our server was knowledgeable in pairing our entrée with a good glass of wine that fit each of our taste. Although I was unprepared for how not casual the night turns out to be but the food helped bring us together along with some ironically carefree conversations. Originally I thought I’d go for
Thirty years in the making as the city sprawled to touch its doors. A chilly night and a senorita at my side we entered a bustling retreat with dim lighting and burst of laughter. We were met like royalty and escorted to a quiet table.
The service was crisp and the petite steaks with vintage wine delightful. What a beginning to an adventurous evening.
Best Italian I’ve had for a while!
Went on for birthday, staff was super friendly and welcoming.
- Ordered Half dozen of Oyster was very fresh and tasty.
-Grilled octopus was excellent and tasty. Goes well with the tomato flavor and Smokey touch
-Roasted chicken super crispy on the outside but super tender and juicy on the inside
Very Recommended
The food was incredible. My boyfriend and I both said the lamb and steak were the best we’ve ever eaten. The service was really wonderful the whole time. A great place to treat yourself!
The atmosphere is really classy and the food is to die for. This place is a bit pricey but definitely worth every penny.
Will definitely come back.
Excellent service, the food was great, the atmosphere was amazing. It is a lovely cozy restaurant. Very welcoming. The staff are both friendly and professional. There's a room in the back, that's great for small private events
Excellent service from start to finish. Appetizer of quail was delicious. The seafood pasta was cooked perfectly. Seafood was amazing. The desert was yummy.
We enjoyed our dinner very much. The bison special was delicious. Staff and patio table made the evening perfect
An excellent choice for a special occasion meal. Prices are high, be prepared. Food is delicious. Service is very good.
