#FOOD: BOCADO OPENS IN PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY DECEMBER 15, 2025

Bocado, the acclaimed culinary destination from Prince Edward County, is expanding to Georgian Bay, opening its doors to the public on Monday, December 15th, 2025. This new location brings Bocado’s signature seasonal and Spanish-inspired cuisine to Collingwood, offering a vibrant, intimate dining experience for locals, weekenders, and visitors exploring the region.

The Georgian Bay location is the result of a partnership between Executive Chef Stuart Cameron and INK Entertainment, with interior design by award-winning designers Nivek Remas. Drawing inspiration from Spanish Hacienda architecture, the space blends natural textures, inviting tones, and rustic-modern charm to create a relaxed, celebratory atmosphere perfect for après-ski, après-hike, or an evening out with friends and family.

“We were drawn to Collingwood not only for its breathtaking natural beauty and four-season appeal, but also for its thriving and welcoming culinary community,” says Stuart Cameron. “The town has a sophisticated palate and a strong commitment to supporting local ingredients and talent. We are honoured to join this community and contribute to its growing reputation as a destination for exceptional dining experiences.”

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Stuart Cameron brings over 30 years of international hospitality experience, having shaped culinary programs for acclaimed restaurants such as Mira, Patria, Story’s Events, and Byblos across Toronto, Miami, and Dubai. His vision for Bocado merges the simplicity and freshness of traditional Spanish cuisine with imaginative, contemporary twists.

“Bocado has always been about creating a space where every dish tells a story,” says Stuart Cameron, Partner and Executive Chef. “Opening in Collingwood allows us to bring the flavours of Prince Edward County to Georgian Bay, offering guests a vibrant, intimate dining experience that celebrates seasonal ingredients and Spanish-inspired cooking.”

The menu at Bocado Collingwood features a thoughtful selection of shareable plates, house-made favourites, and regionally inspired interpretations of classic Spanish dishes, all crafted with seasonal ingredients sourced from trusted local producers. A curated wine program highlights Spanish varietals alongside notable Ontario wines, complemented by a creative cocktail list influenced by Mediterranean flavours.
