In 1990 the Core Values of our parent company, The Neighbourhood Group, evolved into 3 key areas; 1. Local: Promote and serve ... locally sourced Ontario quality foods and beverages. That’s "The Taste of Ontario”! 2. Building Heritage: Respect and restore our local natural heritage in the building plans, construction and interior craftsmanship and design of all of our restaurants. 3. Sustainability: To work in an environmentally sustainable manner in all aspects of our operations with a focus and dedication to continually reducing our "carbon footprint”. Our goal is simple: to be the food service industry leader in sustainability. What does that exactly mean to you, our guest? Simply, Grille & Bar is a restaurant that serves the very best of locally crafted foods and beverages at everyday prices. We bring "The Taste of Ontario”, the highest quality of fresh products from Ontario farmers, breweries and wineries to our guests each and every day. Combined with a deep respect for local heritage and craftsmanship and an unwavering dedication for sustainability, Borealis represents the embodiment of our philosophy as it took form in the late sixties." - Bob Desautels, Founder The Neighbourhood Group of Companies Ltd.
