Terra is part of the Substance Food Group‘s family of restaurants, which also includes Sarpa in Oak Ridges, Rusty’s at Blue in Blue Mountain, and Francobollo in North York.

Doting cinephiles who have an appetite for food stories beyond the one-dimensional ‘foodporn’ we’re bombarded with daily, will undoubtedly lap up “Devour- The Food Film Festival” this November.
