Dining with a Difference: Grab a Bite and Watch the Planes at BFC

BFC restaurant
Written by Patti Foley

Caledon offers some very cool experiences. Whether you love hiking or cycling the trails, visiting unique shops, touring farms and markets, or cruising the local roads taking sensational scenery, you’ll find it all here.

Regardless of the adventure, your body, just like your vehicle, will eventually let you know it needs to fuel up. So how about if your hearty breakfast or lazy lunch could also be a cool experience in itself?

Nestled on the grounds of the Brampton-Caledon Airport, at 13691 McLaughlin Road just south of King Street, is one of Caledon’s best kept secrets. The BFC restaurant and café is fully licensed, has seating for 80 plus an outside patio, and offers you a view of the airport. If the winds are right, you can watch small aircraft taking off and landing while you dine.

The atmosphere is friendly, and the food is reminiscent of home cooking, flavourful with generous portions. If you are an Eggs Benedict fan, you’ll be thrilled to be able to choose from several creative versions. You can enjoy breakfast up until 3:00 pm.

Fill your tummy with comfort-food favourites like grilled cheese, pea meal bacon on a bun, chicken Clubhouse and pulled pork sandwiches. You’ll also find a fittingly named MacPilot or a 747 Hot Chicken Sandwich. Burger lovers will not be disappointed; check out the Supersonic burger.

You’ll find a Veggie Burger and a Grilled Veggie wrap. And there are salad choices for lighter appetites.

You may even decide to round out the experience by visiting the Great War Flying Museum or having a look at the Pilot’s Shop.

This is one stop-over you really should add to your next trip!

Current hours of operation are Monday to Sunday from 8:00am until 3:00pm. There is oodles of free parking. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. If you wish you can call ahead 905-838-1400
