From July 28 to August 1, Benchmark will offer a special menu in celebration of Food Day Canada, alongside regular menu offerings.
Founded in 2003, Food Day Canada is a national celebration of Canadian cuisine and the people who grow, create, and enjoy it. The initiative encourages Canadians to support local farmers, fishers, chefs, researchers, and home cooks by shopping, dining, and cooking Canadian.

- Wellington County Beef Tartar
Pickled Foraged Mushroom, Black Garlic, Shiso, Lavash - East Coast Lobster Roll
