The restaurant is owned by husband-and-wife duo Jeremy and Cassie Austin.[2] Jeremy serves as the head chef, while Cassie acts as the general manager.[2] The business first opened amid indoor dining restrictions in Ontario during the COVID-19 pandemic, operating as a 12-seat pop-up restaurant at an outdoor harvest table.[2] The business's name, The Pine, originates from the pop-up location surrounded by pine forest.[2] The Pine offers a 17 course tasting menu and wine pairing.[2] It sources most of its ingredients from local producers across Simcoe Region and Central Ontario.[2] Although Jeremy Austin is not of Chinese origin, his culinary techniques and the restaurant's dishes are influenced by his years of experience working in China and Hong Kong.[1] RecognitionThe restaurant received a Michelin star in the 2024 edition of the Toronto and Region Michelin Guide.[1] Canada's 100 Best Restaurants Ranking
