§ 01How dinner works

A chef’s menu, by reservation.

Dinner is a chef’s menu of Canadiana favourites that changes with the season, in the lodge’s own dining room. Here is how an evening goes.

Reserve

All dining is by reservation

Tables are limited, so every dinner is booked ahead. Cabin guests and the public are both welcome, and we hold a table for cabin guests on each night of their stay.

Choose

You choose from the kitchen’s list, from first plate to last

From smoke to sizzle, the kitchen cooks hearty Canadian classics, and the menu changes with the season. A salad comes to the table to share, and there is a vegetarian entrée every night.

Included

A drink and the gratuity, no cheque at the end

In 2026 the chef’s menu included a drink (wine, beer or soft drink) and all gratuities. We confirm 2027 prices when reservations open.

Looked after

Tell us about allergies when you reserve

Gluten-free and vegetarian guests are well looked after, and with about a day’s notice the kitchen can do more, like dedicated fryer oil and gluten-free buns. We are not a peanut or tree nut free kitchen.

Dogs

Welcome on the patio

They can’t come into the dining room.

§ 02The room

A 1949 lodge, in the trees.

We serve dinner in the lodge’s historic dining room: wooden tables, a timber roof overhead and big windows onto the trees. When an evening is warm, the patio is just outside the door.

Some evenings have live music too. See what live music looks like at the lodge.

§ 03Breakfast for guests

Breakfast is included, dinner is a short walk.

A hot breakfast buffet comes with every stay, 8 to 10 each morning. For dinner, a table is held for you each night of your stay. For something more casual, lodge guests also have a cabin-service menu of pub food before and after dinner service.
