Review Rating: 5 Stars!

When Dave Paterson and I stopped for lunch at the new restaurant “Savvy” in London Ontario, I was immediately impressed with the warm welcome, at the time we did not realize that our escort “Dave” was also the co-owner.

Savvy has only been open for 11 weeks, and co-owners Dave and Chef Michelle have certainly turned what was once an old pub into a wonderful dining experience. Mr. Paterson ordered the house salad and butternut squash soup, while I had the butternut squash soup and Monte Cristo sandwich. Our beverage of choice was coffee.

For coffee snubs like me- savvy is worth the visit to grab a great cup of coffee- their large mugs are great to hold and the full bodied flavour of the beverage put an immediate smile on both our lips. Finally- a restaurant that pays attention to all the details!

The salad was fresh, crisp and tasty, served with choice of dressings- Paterson choose the house- the sandwich was thick in calorie sin melted Swiss cheese, stuffed with turkey and ham and fried lightly golden brown- but for both Dave and I however- the best part of the meal was the soup.

The butternut squash soup was one of the best I have ever tasted!

Savvy offers both lunch and dinner menus and a full wine list. Apps are priced between 8 and 12 $- and dinner entrees run between 17 and 36 $- very reasonable priced for the quality of food prepared by the chef.

This restaurant would appeal to the 30 + crowd- the staff, food, serve and atmosphere here are a delight- I know I will be back- and I highly recommend “savvy” if ever you are in the city of London!
