Mrs Mitchell’s Restaurant

Good service, each of our dishes was made perfectly. Wasn’t terribly busy when we went but it was late. Great floor plan — not overly crowded seating or over heated.
We went with 4 adults and had three courses each.

I don’t even know where to begin!
First, definitely worth the 1hr drive in the pouring rain to get there. The restaurant used to be a schoolhouse in the 1800s and is beautiful on the inside and outside. Inside in a massive fireplace, wooden flooring, wooden beams in the ceiling and the most beautiful and seasonal decorations. For fall it was filled with pumpkins and gourds, candles and horns of plenty. So so gorgeous. The atmosphere alone is unreal.
The menu is small but has really great quality items. Vegetarians beware, there are no veggie options. Steak, duck, lamb, chicken, fish — it’s all there. Every entrée comes with vegetables, salad, potato and spoon bread (cornbread). Gluten free is possible, with very minor limits. I couldn’t have the fresh bread as usual, nor could I have the coconut crusted halibut. I had steak instead so no regrets. The food was cooked to perfection with high quality ingredients. So, so good! Unfortunately I couldn’t have dessert because they all contained gluten except for sorbet (boring!!) but they have a pumpkin cream whipped pie that made me wish more than ever that I could eat gluten!
Even the bathrooms in this restaurant are nice with lotions to test that come from their shop across the way «granny taught us how».
Once a month they have a jazz night with a prix fixe menu — $ 55 dollars for dinner and a show.
I could go on and on about how wonderful this place is, but you should just go experience it yourself. Have a house martini — they are amazing!

A family business whose daughter has proudly carried on the culinary tradition in a warm country setting with comfort food as rich as that tradition. A bourgonion meatloaf, filet stuffed with lobster, a delicious savoury crêpe and a flavourful turkey burger only to be accompanied by lattes and desserts of Carrot cake and a molten chocolate with vanilla bean ice cream. Ambience and fresh country cooking, an ongoing family tradition for us and you and yours.

Five star all the way! What a beautiful and rustic experience. This historic school house has been converted into a fine dining restaurant. The ambiance is superb, feast your eyes while tantalizing your pallet. We were there the family and I on Mother’s Day this year. We enjoyed a wonderful brunch. My wife and I started with the smoked wild mushroom soup, and while we savouring our soup, our daughter tried some and to our surprise she wanted a bowl of her own. (she typically cannot stand mushrooms)

My wife and I went here for valentine’s day for the first time. The atmosphere and service was fantastic.
I didn’t care much for my Veal Saltimbocca but my wife loved her entry. I think it had more to do with my taste than the chef and meat. I’ve never had veal done that way and it just wasn’t for me. I would definitely go back and try another dish.

A hidden treasure… I’ve been going for 20 years. The afternoon tea is good with the scones, homemade strawberry jam. I have brought many friends here over the years…

Heaven on Earth in the middle of nowhere? This place is like a Mystical Gift to Foodies Everywhere! Not only is it the best food within 20 miles it’s also a place where wishes become reality, if you believe in that sort of thing. It’s not just a restaurant it’s a time capsule of perfection. Heidi is Amazing and the legend of Mrs. Mitchell’s has been preserved better than anything you have previously encountered.
I LOVE this place!!!

Seventeen years I’ve been dining here. Never disappointed. Being a Chef myself, I know pride and passion resides here.

During our tour of the area near Hockley Road, we came across this small restaurant on Violet Hill.
I believe they are co-​owed with the small gift shop across from them (Granny Taught Us How).
I love cute, unique places with character, and this is definitely one of them. It’s inside an old School House, everything inside is wooden, and the place is decorated with twine, birds, old style knick knacks.
It takes you into another world, and I like that kind of experience.
We came around 3pm, and they serve Afternoon Tea from 2−4pm (they also have Brunch, Lunch and Dinner — check the website). It all looked very reasonably priced, and I would want to come back and try.
Afternoon tea for $ 6.50 a person, you get a pot of tea, and a basket of sweet potato muffins and hot biscuits, piping hot, with Strawberry preserves, whipped cream, and whipped butter.
I couldn’t help but go off my diet and eat it all, and it was worth it!
(except for the fact my boyfriend pointed out that the point of tea, is to take your time and munch, while chatting, not scarfing everything down like I did).
The place is small, fits about 50 people maybe. Seems also like a nice venue to rent out for a small special event.
At the back they have a nice garden with some sculptures and photo opportunity.
It’s really romantic, and would love to have dinner here sometime. It’s a perfect place to stop by and have something different after a hike.
