History
Since its inception in 2018, chef and operator Jeffrey Bovis has been at the helm of Wynona's culinary operations.
The choice of the name Wynona was inspired by its charming and feminine appeal.
The venue boasts an open-concept kitchen alongside a weekly rotating menu crafted entirely from scratch, emphasizing seasonal and locally sourced produce. Additionally, Wynona functions as both a wine bar and a community bistro, with a particular emphasis on natural, unfiltered wines.
Recognition
At the 2022 Michelin Guide event in Toronto, Wynona was awarded the Bib Gourmand distinction, an honor it successfully maintained through 2023 and 2024. This accolade recognizes establishments delivering "exceptionally good food at moderate prices." Among the dishes Michelin spotlighted was Wynona's lumache pasta featuring sausage crumble, sugar snap peas, and cheese.
In 2019, Toronto Life included Wynona in its list of the city’s top new restaurants.
