Living outside a major city when one is used to travelling is taxing at best.
I have eaten fine meals in the film district of Paris France to other spots around the world.
What can I say other than this place reminds me of France in a rural part of the world.
Freshly prepared ingredients just as in Paris. I have to get to the place early because just like in Paris.. there is only so much of one item to go around and when it is gone it is gone.
The Chef if a Cordon Bleu French trained chef from Paris and I have to say again being in the middle of nowhere this is exceptional... no I think shocking in a very good way..
I have celebrated birthdays, anniversary's etc. It is my place to take those to impress.
The meals are prepared exquisitely, ingredients are brought in daily and I could find no fault in the execution from the chef. The Garlic loaf is to die for.
I know the place becomes very busy when they put on their food festivals Wild Game Night etc. because if I have not gone..... I cannot get a table... which the number of tables are not that many and allows them to truly cater to their guests.
Ask for a reservation and ask for a fireplace table, my favourite and they have a nice crackling fire on a cold winter night which around here starts early in the season.
The chef regularly comes out to greet her guests and she regularly will ask me how I enjoyed my meal and I love to tell her just how she reminds me of Paris.
Talking with her you can tell she truly loves what she does.
When in rural country Ontario one needs to sample this place.... I only hope she never decides to retire...
I know no other place similar unless I go to Toronto which is 100's of miles away and still she would be one of the better ones there because I have eaten at most there as well.
Bravo to this place. Keep up the good work.
