About Us
FART Café embarked on a remarkable journey, fueled by an unwavering determination to share a passion and creativity with the world and with the beloved communities in Whitby, Ontario, and its surrounding areas.
Our mission: To offer a tantalizing blend of delicious cuisine infused with fun and artistic flair. With every puzzle piece meticulously placed, finally a leap was taken to realize the dream of opening “The Food and Art Café,” affectionately known as “The FART Café,” in 2018. The vision extended beyond merely satisfying appetites; it was aimed to nourish minds and spirits in a holistic manner.
At The FART Café, the goal was to inspire and support dreamers and free spirits, much like ourselves, encouraging us to embrace unique ideas and conquer the world with boundless inspiration. Fueled by the joy of witnessing dreams come true, we invite patrons to find their happy place and live their passions to the fullest.
For the Bajaj family, the journey began casually, but Rashi’s lifelong passion for food and cooking soon ignited a desire to share that passion with others through unparalleled customer experiences.
What started as a hobby evolved into an obsession, with each dish becoming a canvas for tickling taste buds and igniting culinary creativity.
Consulting with my soulmate Naval Bajaj, whose extensive experience in retail and the food industry proved invaluable, we set out to make our dream a reality. Our search led us to the East end of town, where we discovered the Food and Art Café—a serendipitous match that felt destined.
Returning to our roots and neighborhood, we found ourselves surrounded by familiarity and excitement. With the support of our family—a financial analyst and CPA—and our enthusiastic and beloved children, we embarked on this thrilling journey.
Our FART Family brings a diverse array of skills and experiences to the table. Armed with backgrounds in food service, finance, management, and customer service, we share a common goal: to provide a memorable experience fueled by our passion for food and artistry.
Our aim is clear: to tantalize taste buds and transcend expectations. From savory delights to sweet indulgences, we aim to create lasting memories and expand horizons.
As we look to the future, our commitment remains steadfast. We plan to introduce summer desserts, adding a touch of sweetness to Whitby’s downtown evenings—a space where all are welcome to chill and mingle.
To the Whitby community and our beloved patrons, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your continued support inspires us to elevate your dining experiences and bring joy to your day, one delicious dish at a time.
