There's a reason people drive in from out of town for this one — the burgers come out loud with flavour, the wagyu sharing platter lands as a proper occasion, and the poutine and animal fries get talked about long after. Portions are genuinely big, so a child's plate often stretches to two, and food usually arrives fast, which matters when someone's patience is running out. Staff are friendly and know the menu well enough to steer you through it, and on busier nights when the kitchen slows they'll tell you and make it right. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all here, though the children's options lean burger-and-nuggets and pricing can climb. It's a cool, music-playing sort of room rather than a quiet one — worth booking, and worth arriving hungry.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
