"At ME & JULIO we understand that to recover and live well your clients need to be eating quality, freshly-prepared meals. Not the mass-produced, institutional fare that gives most facility dining halls a bad rap.

That’s why, instead of cutting corners, we cook everything from scratch using fresh ingredients – right down to the tomato sauce! We've been running the on-site kitchen at Bellwood Health Services in Toronto for 4+ years. Here we've seen first-hand the impact that quality food has on the experiences of clients receiving treatment.

Mealtimes become a highlight for clients and staff alike. They come out of their rooms and connect over comforting dishes made with love and care."

"ME & JULIO are simply the BEST cooks I’ve ever worked with. The food is perfect but what’s more important is the heart and soul behind the work. Every meal, every bite this team prepares is carefully thought out, perfectly spiced, perfectly portioned and perfectly tasteful and delicious!

Kim and her team have been a huge game changer at Bellwood Health Services where she has fed our clients and staff for a few years now. The food ME & JULIO prepares is not only nutritious and well-balanced but absolutely and consistently beyond delicious. Their expansive repertoire of both go-to comfort foods and avant-garde, trendy selections appeal to the wide and varied palates of our clientele and staff. 

Many of the people we take care of have never been loved, nurtured or well fed. When people come for treatment to Bellwood for their mental health and addiction problems, they’re often in poor health, feel hopeless and are sad. Treatment is about building strength, finding hope and learning to love yourself. The food ME & JULIO feeds our clients is a HUGE part of their recovery.

The food they eat is an important part of rebuilding their health, gaining confidence, and comforting their soul. ME & JULIO’s staff is compassionate, kind and very respectful. They are critical partners in the success of our work at Bellwood and are important team members. We love ME & JULIO and couldn’t do this without them."

The food was amazing I truly believe Julio will be on the world stage. Everything from booking our incredible evening to the delivery was nothing short of exceptional.
