Host Your Perfect Event at Blackshop

Planning milestone celebrations for yourself or others can bring about a lot of stress. From coming up with a theme, to identifying the guest list, even down to understanding allergies, timelines, and activities. The role of the planner can be stressful, and when you consider where these life events will be hosted, the stress can double with the idea of preparing a home or backyard to host 50 to 100 people. So let’s consider skipping some of that stress and hosting your event somewhere that takes the stress off.

At Blackshop Restaurant, we specialize in creating memorable events tailored to your needs. Whether it’s a corporate function, wedding reception, or intimate celebration, our experienced team is dedicated to making your event exceptional. From the space to host the event, along with the parking to accommodate every single guest, we will leave the best impression to all your guests.

Customizable Menus

We know there are many diets we need to accommodate at every event. From a business meeting to a baby shower, there will always be some common allergies such as gluten and dairy, or lifestyle choices such as vegan and vegetarian to accommodate for. As a fine dining restaurant 7 days a week, leave the menu execution to us, and we will ensure each guest is taken care of.

We offer a range of customizable menus featuring our renowned European-inspired cuisine. Choose from appetizers like Seared Scallops and Beef Tartare, to main courses like Ontario Beef Tenderloin and Wild Pacific Halibut. Our private dining spaces can accommodate various group sizes, ensuring a comfortable and elegant setting for any occasion.

    1. Private space for up to 3 hours

    2. Floor plan customizations that suit your event’s vision

The Blackshop Difference

  • Ask us about minimum spends and menu options based on your date and group size
  • True fine dining, in house: European inspired cuisine, executed by a professional kitchen team every day.

  • Multiple event rooms: options for intimate private dinners up to larger celebrations.

  • Seamless hosting support: layout planning, service flow, and timing support built in

  • Built for presentations and speeches: screens, sound, mic, and WiFi ready to go

While many restaurants can only offer a single open dining room and a bar area, The Blackshop offers a variety of options to book a semi private or private space. For smaller functions with a lower guest count or a desire to incorporate a presentation into their visit with us, we offer our smaller event space. With a door to close off the remainder of the restaurant this is a common space rented by business guests to host confidential sessions.

For those looking to celebrate a wedding or just gather for a good time and not in need of a roundtable discussion with their guests, we offer an even larger space that can host up to 100 guests comfortably.
