Four Noteworthy Additions to Our Culinary Scene<br />

IRONWORKS kitchen<br />

monday–saturday 9am–11pm<br />

sunday 9am–9pm<br />

Downtown Woodstock’s newest addition<br />

is the recently opened 160-seat Ironworks<br />

kitchen.<br />

The name<br />

is a nod<br />

to Wood<br />

stock Iron<br />

Works, established in 1842 by Homer Pratt<br />

Brown, who became town mayor in 1861.<br />

Lunch and dinner menus feature elevated<br />

comfort food. Signature items include the<br />

“Homer Brown Burger” and the “Ironworks<br />

Salad,” as well as plenty of nods to today,<br />

including short ribs, rainbow trout, lamb<br />

shanks, chipotle mac’n cheese, and steak and<br />

frites. The Kids Menu includes a charcuterie<br />

board! There is even dessert poutine.<br />

Bocconcini<br />

1140 Southdale Road West, London<br />

monday–thursday 11:30am–9pm<br />

friday 11:30am–10pm<br />

saturday 4pm–10pm / sunday 4m–8pm<br />

We’re crazy for the<br />

delectable gnocchi<br />

at Radu Rotariu’s<br />

Italian-inspired<br />

Bocconcini at<br />

Southdale and<br />

Boler Road in Byron. Chef Brian Honsinger’s<br />

pillowy potato dumplings with braised beef,<br />

cabernet and wild mushrooms are authentic<br />

and classic Italian cuisine. Try the ovenroasted<br />

Tuscan-inspired chicken. There is a<br />

wood-fired oven for fresh bread and pizza. The<br />

manicotti is outstanding and the silky, housemade<br />

tiramisu otherworldly.
