REVIEW
The
location is charming in itself, sitting comfortably on an Island, with the only
access by a ferry. It gorgeously stands among greenery in a nineteenth century
rectory converted into a chic café and patio. Thankfully I had a reservation,
as it is difficult to find a place in the patio under the pine trees
overlooking the Lake more so on a warm sunny afternoon. It is like being as
near as you can get to a tropical paradise, balmy breezes at the patio make for
a perfect setting. With an endless expanse of blue sky within reach, the restaurant
takes its external tropical landscaping and warm interiors to the next level.
The design seems to be inspired by the collision of rustic simplicity and
glamour. Needless to add for people around being here seemed reason enough;
soaking in the grandeur of an elegant era while enjoying a selection of viands
below reproach.
Really
intoxicating food! The menu touches on several cuisines including Turkish,
Italian, Greek, Spanish and even Japanese. Moroccan chickpeas are delightful
and paella
though not quite a complex as that in Valencia is nonetheless very good eating
with lots of seafood, meat and vegetables in grainy rice. Other specialities
include the Ontario Chipotle Bison Burger and pulled pork Panini. Good
cheeseboard and tantalising desserts ranging from luscious fruits to tiramisu and New York style cheesecake.
Most unpretentious, Rectory café has for long been a favourite for those who
want good, wholesome food. The restaurant attracts a discerning crowd from all
walks of life.
