Don your apron and get cooking!
Burlington has several restaurants and retailers that offer cooking classes and demonstrations by award winning chefs from our city.  This is a great way to enjoy an informative and delicious culinary experience.  Please note that most of these culinary experiences require advance registration.

Burlington is the hometown of Murray Lloyd who hosts ‘Qscene’ which airs on the A Channel. ‘Qscene’ showcases BBQ cooking and is filmed at different restaurants in Burlington.

Burlington also is proud to have Chris Haworth, Executive Chef of Spencer’s at the Waterfront. Chris has worked his way through some of the finest kitchens of London, England including Marco Pierre Whites Quo Vadis and L’Escargot restaurants.  He is a chef who cooks with a conscience and draws influence from the terroir and flavours of Ontario. Chris most recently appeared alongside his good friend Curtis Stone on the Oprah Winfrey show and Iron Chef America against Bobby Flay

Restaurants Abound
From casual fine dining to intimate bistros Burlington satisfies every taste and is quickly becoming known as a dining destination with the variety and unique offerings of larger metropolitan cities combined with the accessibility and service of a small town.
