A trying restaurant avails in the heart of Burlington ON. This place is what you should be going to Burlington for. The food here is exceptional, with a short menu full of classics and a slice of new life, I would recommend this place instantly. The service was excellent, presentation was great, and experience overall a 9/10. I rarely give my best to a dinner spot but this nailed it on many levels. 1 point deduction for music that was not loud but overwhelming.

This is my first visit to enjoy those fantastic dishes in this amazing restaurant. I can feel the passion and great effort of the chefs exerted into it. All the great chefs, knowledgeable servers, and nice crews are very professional, kind, and friendly. I have a wonderful experience from the tasting menu tonight with my dear husband. Cheers. ♥️

Incredible hidden gem in Burlington. The quality, presentation, taste of the dishes exceeded our expectations. But with the chef’s impressive resume it all makes sense. I’d say there’s nothing quite like this in Oakville, Burlington, or Hamilton. Absolutely recommend this for a great dinner out.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this hidden gem in Burlington, and I can’t recommend it enough. The restaurant’s atmosphere was cozy yet sophisticated with each aspect, from the menu to the plates and cutlery, having been well thought out. Each dish was unique, thoughtfully crafted and put together. We could not pick a favourite out of all of the dishes. The food was simply beyond good. The service was impeccable; our servers were quick, attentive, and genuinely personable. If you consider yourself a foodie, you can’t claim to have experienced the best of Burlington’s culinary scene without a visit here. No. 8 Restaurant is a must-visit!

Restaurant pedigree at it’s finest without the pretences! Elegant but cozy restaurant just off the beaten path in South Burlington. Owner, Chef/Team and Servers really know their stuff, and it shows. We tried most of the dishes on the menu, all outstanding, especially the Chicken Liver Toast and Tartar. Do not hesitate will not disappoint. Michelin Star worthy! 5/5

Beautiful atmosphere, great service and most importantly exceptional food. I most enjoyed the outstanding oysters like I have never had before. In fact, I had some more for dessert. The cod dish was a fantastic finish cooked to perfection. And everything in between was a pleasure. Great first experience and will definitely be back.

My husband and I had a last minute date last Saturday, and had the pleasure of dining at No.8. Since we did not have prior reservations we were seated at the bar, and what an amazing experience that was! We were lucky to have Brian behind the bar offering great company and definitely adding to our experience. We loved all of our food and drinks and cannot wait to go back. We might request bar seating again :) Thank you!

This is dining. With an attentive and highly professional servers backing the incredible talents of the kitchen staff and Chef, the overall experience puts other local restaurants to shame. Our dinner was fantastic and prepared with the utmost care to delight our visual senses and make our tastbuds dance. Dessert; words wont do any justice. We tried every one on the menu... there is no bad choice! Thank you again for a memorable evening, and well see you again No.8!

Ive finally found my 5-star dining experience! From the moment we arrived, my husband and I were treated to the high-end service thats been missing in the area. Gracious owner, exquisite steak, and a superb wine selection. The owners extensive expertise having operated 2 successful Oakville restos shines through in every detail. Looking forward to going back.

Food was excellent! Came here with family and all of our dishes were amazing. The kitchen staff started us all out with some complimentary Amuse Bouches which were super fresh and very appreciated. The Chitarra and Grilled Octopus were favourites. Highly recommend to anybody for a nice dinner out in Burlington.

No. 8 offers an exceptional dining experience with its incredible food and beautiful atmosphere. The elegant/modern décor sets a welcoming tone, while the dishes are both innovative and sumptuous. The French Toast, Octopus and Dry-Aged Duck were among the favorites of the night. Artur is known for his elegant hot spots and dynamic culinary concoctions...this venue is no different! I would highly recommend this lovely place.

Burlington has added a fine dining/avant-garde cuisine restaurant. It is located downtown Burlington just a couple blocks from Brant Street. It takes over from the previous Elevator Restaurant (which I never visited). The decor is contemporary with an open kitchen and pizza wood oven. The menu is unique and has many options. The Bone Marrow and Flat Bread were great appetizers and the Duck and Octopus were fantastic entrees. Not pictured, but the Parsnip Espuma with Confit Duck was incredible and really a dish I ve never seen before - very creative! Looking forward to going back!

I love the intimate atmosphere and open kitchen! The food is delicious, and the whole team is kind. They go above and beyond. Thank you!!

As we walked into the restaurant the Owner was receiving an order from a supplier. Rather than welcome us in he tried to be funny by asking me if I wanted to help unpack his order. Not a good first impression The bartender was most accommodating all evening. My one drink was underwhelming My friends ordered a cauliflower app-not my choice but what is cauliflower doing on a menu. If I want a vegan app I ll Go across the street to lettuce love. The tuna tartare was neither tartare nor ceviche. The tuna was not fresh. They tried to mask the flavour of the thick cut strips with a vinaigrette. Also not worth the money. I ordered Halibut which was good at best but laden in sauce. For $44 The atmosphere-there just isn t any. Disappointing overall

I recently had the pleasure of dining at No.8 Restaurant in Burlington, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I have a discerning palate and high expectations, and No.8 did not disappoint. The freshness of the ingredients was immediately apparent. The chawanmushi was delicate and flavourful, the octopus tender and succulent, and the gnocchetti de mare was a delightful surprise. The tartare with bone marrow was rich and indulgent, a true treat for the senses. The oysters were fresh and briny, and their take on French toast was both innovative and respectful of tradition. The staff at No.8 were fantastic, providing friendly and attentive service throughout the evening. Their passion for their work was evident, enhancing the overall dining experience. I had been a regular visitor to Elevator for a number of years, and I continue to be impressed with this new team and establishment. Chef Stephen and his team are not only friendly and fun, but they are also extremely talented. Their culinary skills are evident in every dish they prepare, and their dedication to providing an exceptional dining experience is commendable. In conclusion, No.8 Restaurant in Burlington is a must-visit for any food lover. The combination of fresh ingredients, innovative dishes, and a friendly, talented team makes for an unforgettable dining experience. I wholeheartedly give it a five-star rating and look forward to my next visit.

Came here for a dinner with my husband. Great ambiance, dim, intimate and exclusive vibe which we love. Started with oysters and champagne. Best oyster presentation I ve ever seen and the champagne was to die for. Food was great we tried a bit of everything. Dessert is always my favourite part and they did not disappoint. You can tell these were hand made with love on the spot, not like most restaurants that will prep and pull from the fridge. Service was 10/10

An incredible culinary experience! I brought my sister here for her birthday (on her glowing recommendation) and everything was exceptional. From the moment we were greeted until our departure (where we were kindly waved goodbye with smiles by all staff), it was wonderful. They definitely made her birthday celebration dinner feel special. To start, we were hoping for some sweet cocktails but none were on the menu, so our wonderful server created some delicious ones on the spot for us (by the way, the birthday cocktail he made needs to be added to the menu! Delish). We shared Oysters French Toast Gnocchi Bone marrow And, for dessert, the one with mango, white chocolate and crisp milk (freeze dried milk!) Flavours were a delight (we couldn t stop saying mmmmmmm! , literally), the textures were diverse and complimentary, and the presentation was on point. My favourite was the bone marrow dish and the freeze dried milk dessert. Top it all off with excellent service, and No. 8 is a perfect choice for when you want to treat yourself to an evening out. Looking forward to going back.

Foodies Had the absolute pleasure of eating last night at No. 8 on Pearl st. If you are a fan of Contemporary food. This is exactly what Burlington needs. If you miss Blacktree or Red Canoe this place is for you. Chef learned his Craft at Noma in Denmark and 11 Madison Park in New York both rank top 5 restaurants on the world. True Foodies will have found a place to call home right here in Burlington. The owner is hoping Burlington is ready for this type of dining. I assured him Burlington has some of the best Foodies around. If you love spectacular dishes with amazing presentation this is for you. Favorite dish of the evening... Bone Marrow layered with Tartare covered in Black Truffle... Yes, as good as is sounds.
