Birdsong

“Each succeeding generation accepts less and less of the real thing because it has no way of understanding what has been lost” – Michael Frome

Sustenance. Identity. Art.

While it is all of those things, our cooking centres on the belief that food is a conduit of values, wisdom and tradition.

Knowing our context in place and time informs the ways we cook – preserving the wisdom of the past, while allowing room for growth as our understanding of the world evolves.

Our menu focuses on ingredients in the most whole form that we can find them in. This typically means produce that is in season, which in turn means they are at their best and most flavorful. Local vegetables and whole animals remind us of all that is sacrificed to enable us to eat well. We respect and carry the weight of that responsibility as we do what we do.

We cook to celebrate our sources of nourishment, our history, our craft, and most importantly, the people around us. We hope you leave Birdsong feeling a little more connected, lighter (in spirit) and more satisfied and fulfilled than when you walked in, just as we do.
