This hidden gem is definitely worth the stop! Quaint and eclectic decor surround you as you dine on delicious, fresh, local... cuisine. I had a yummy trout sandwich and hubby had the bacon cheeseburger, which was juicy and tender. Be sure to try one oftheir house made botanical sodas! Read more
The food is really good, but what it got me was the mouse cheese cake the best one I tried in canada so far.
We ate at Garden Gate Wed evening. It's a lovely quaint setting with an an amazing garden. Really nice sparkling waters made... from syrups that used many things in that same garden. The salad was so fresh because, again, herbs from the garden made it!Loved the trout and fresh veggies as well. Finally we had two amazing desserts - vanilla creme brule and a light no-bakecheesecake (I am typically not a fan of cheesecake) Great service on top of it all. It's a gem for sure!! Read more
Extremely fresh and farm to table operation. Can't go wrong with the steak. The deserts are amazing so defintely save space for... it. Read more
Family run restaurant with a lot of character and fantastic food. I had the chicken piccata which while it had subtle flavours,... the sweetness, the cheese and the greens really worked well with the chicken. The outdoor area is also quite beautiful so Iwould recommend eating outside to enjoy the place even more. Read more
Sweetest little spot. Tasty food. Friendly owners. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Plus a cute market/shop with local and... artisan items. But a name like Garden's Gate means I must make mention of the incredible garden. You can sit in it while youeat or wait for your food. Bees and butterflies love this place and so do I. Read more
Location: Garden?s Gate isn?t located in one of the island?s towns. It?s a 20 minute drive south-east from the town of Mindemoya... on Hwy 542. From the ferry at South Baymouth you can take Hwy 6 and be at Garden?s Gate in just over 10 minutes. From LittleCurrent, you can be at Garden?s Gate in just over 35 minutes via Hwy 6 south. Food: This is a first rate restaurant thatfocuses on fresh, local ingredients and genuinely caring preparation. Our first foray was a quick drop-in after checking outthe Dark Sky Preserve. We were greeted warmly by Sheina, and after a brief chat we decided that looking at the menu inanticipation of the next day?s meal wasn?t enough. We ordered the appetizer charcuterie plate as a ?tester? and sat in thegarden to enjoy our food. It was a fabulous afternoon snack. Too often we?ve ordered charcuterie plates that offer greatingredients, but in quantities that barely feed a small child. Kevin?s plate combines the best of both worlds: high qualityingredients (the blue cheese in particular was superb) and enough food for two people to dig in for some very contentednoshing. The next day we were very excited to return for dinner. We ordered two appetizers: Grilled Chicken Satay; and, LocalAsparagus & Prosciutto Rolls. Both were outstanding, though if we had to choose between them we?d give the win to the chickensatay. The house made satay sauce was something special, and the chicken was cooked to juicy perfection. We each ordered thePan Seared Rainbow Trout for our main course, and it was mouth wateringly delicious. The fish was lightly spiced, allowing theclean, fresh taste of the trout to take centre stage. As important, it was cooked perfectly. We savoured each and every bite -so, so good. We would definitely order this dish again. For dessert we chose a Lemon Cheesecake with Seasonal Berry Coulis, andthe House-made Ice Cream Sandwich. The Lemon Cheesecake was the runaway winner of this contest. The cheesecake itself was light Read more
A wonderful restaurant to have a delicious dinner. The locally sourced lake trout was amazing! Beautiful gardens!
