Way back in 1991, when I was fresh out of University, I biked that summer across Canada on my mtn bike (n.b. don't ride a mtn bike across Canada -- totally wrong geometry -- painful). I was just now looking back over the route and remembered this wonderful little cafe at which I stopped for lunch one particulaly hot August day. After countless miles of the surprisingly tough hills (Hwy17 is tougher than the Rockies IMO), it was a such a wonderful surprise to stumble upon this little sanctuary of great food, service and ambiance. I was so happy to see that it's still in existence after so long! Do yourself a favour by stopping in during your own adventures across Northern Ontario! You won't regret it. My son and girlfriend are moving from Halifax and driving to Vancouver to new jobs, and I am making sure they stop in in a few weeks time!

My wife and I had lunch and dinner at this cafe on September 5th, 2024. The food was excellent. The chicken and Mediterranean Salad was one of the best meals I've ever had. It's a charming little restaurant with 5-star food and service.

While this is literally the only restaurant in town, it lacks for nothing. Our server (Michelle?) was wonderful! The food is very good, and the portions are enormous. We easily could have split our meal and still left full. The Spanakopita was very good.
Great view from the small patio! We’d definitely go back!

Really sweet service, I had the baked trout, it was delicious! My brother had the chicken sandwich and said it was very good, as well. The garden is cute and the indoor seating is awesome! We had to wait a while for out food but that just means it was made fresh and we did not mind.

We stopped here on a trip from Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie. A quint little place with fresh fish (caught daily). I had the fish and chips. Friendly service.

This place... Excellent!

My family stopped in for lunch while traveling to our next stop along the lake. There was room across the street for the whole rig to park, which was nice.

Super cozy and very friendly service. We sat out front on the patio and overlooked the lake while eating. The menus include a bit of history about the town, which was a nice touch.

Great food and reasonable prices/selection. This is definitely a place we'd come back to if we're in the area again. Thanks for a great experience!

Unexpected gem just off Hwy. 17 in Rossport. Not the usual deep-fried highway fare, just fabulous and thoughtfully prepared “real” food (protein, starch and veg.). I plan to return and highly recommend to all.
