Sundays is a Michelin Green-starred restaurant located in the Toronto, Ontario suburb of Uxbridge.
History
The restaurant was opened in April 2025 by husband-and-wife couple Ben Denham and Ashley Lloyd. Denham and Lloyd previously owned Michelin-recognized Toronto restaurant White Lily Diner, selling it in fall 2024.[1]
The couple had moved to Uxbridge during the COVID-19 pandemic, and had opened a 10-acre organic farm, White Lily Farms, where they sourced multiple ingredients for their then-restaurant.[1]
Concept
Denham, who serves as the head chef at Sundays, called the restaurant's cuisine "an evolution of White Lily Diner's [menu]" - serving some dishes from their past restaurant with a more refined take. The business is focused on sourcing locally - including from the owner's farm - for their food and drink, including serving beers from a local brewery in Uxbridge.[1][2]
Recognition
The restaurant was awarded a Michelin Green Star and Bib Gourmand designations by the Michelin Guide at the 2025 ceremony for the Toronto and region.[3][4] A Green Star is awarded to restaurants that undertake significant sustainability efforts in its cooking, while a Bib Gourmand recognition is awarded to restaurants who offer "exceptionally good food at moderate prices."[5][6] Michelin highlighted the restaurant's efforts in prominently featuring vegetables, as well as singling out a "particularly satisfying fried pork cutlet".[7]
