BACON will be closed on Saturday August 9thfor lunch. We will re-open at 5pm as normal for dinner. Sorry for any inconvenience that we may have caused.

the philosophy of BACON

There are two things in life worth leaving your front door for: one of them being good, wholesome food, and the other being good, decent company. We used to find both these things a bit closer to home. Friends and family, alongside neighbors and acquaintances, could buckle out kitchens with simple pleasures raised and grown from their own backyards. Each meal was a feast prepared with a knowledge and respect that could be savoured in every mouth full. That was when people still convened at meal times--when cooking and eating were communal efforts. Those times may be scarce nowadays, but we here at BACON believe good, wholesome food still require a helping hand from good, decent company. Here's to tipping our hat in appreciation to the finest friends and neighbors one could ask for.
