SUSHI and TREE

Sushi is probably the most elegant meal you can have on a date night, which means Sushi and Tree will most likely be fully booked on weekends. So tell everyone in your ‘foodie friends’ group chat to meet you here, and get the Maki Medium Platter upgraded to include the Snow Dragon Maki. It serves up to four people and comes with fresh sushi, sashimi, gyoza, and a selection of vegetarian options for only $85 (or about $21 per person).
Kinja Sushi

Instead of spending your evening scrolling through endless restaurant reviews, grab some fresh dragon rolls from this cozy spot in downtown Barrie. We typically suggest ordering ahead, but weekday lunches are so relaxed here that you shouldn’t face much of a wait. If it’s your first visit, try both their signature dragon rolls and the salmon teriyaki bento with perfectly seasoned rice and save the generous portions for later—surprisingly they hold up well when reheated.
