Collingwood

About the restaurant

It all started in the late 1800’s.. a young Gustav Johann Garbe got on a boat from Bremen, Germany to New York, destined for the North West Territories of Canada. Gustav stood up and stood out, always with family, friends and community at the forefront of his mind. His drive, passion and core values have directed four generations of self made entrepreneurs to where we find ourselves today.

John Garbe, in the name of his great grandfather, has assembled a team of exceptional professionals. The menu has been carefully developed, relying on local farmers and community for unsurpassed cuisine. The service experience is firmly rooted in family and friends. This is Gustav.

Overall a very good meal and experience! I felt like the steak could have used more of a sear to develop a crust but the internal cook was on point

Our family Christmas dinner was execellent. Family members choose the turkey and prime rib Christmas specials which included an appetizer and a dessert. All of the dishes were very tasty. The prime rib was extremely tender and flavourful. Our server Alex was very friendly and very efficient.throughout the entire meal......a special thank you to him. The restaurant is located in the Living Water Resort Collingwood so we had easy access. Very nicely decorated. Would highly recommend.
