Loved the elevated flavors! We arrived at the beginning of lunch and by the time we wrapped up,…read morethis place was packed! Upon driving up to The Granite, you can see it's located right on the river with a deck facing it, and it looks to be an older converted house. We were all digging the 70's/ 80's era rock tunes throughout our meal and helped give the experience a nostalgic ambience. I ordered a unique mocktail with a hosemade raspberry and basil syrup- it was so good and different than anything I'd tasted before. For my entree, I had the Ginger Sesame Pasta. WOW! This was such a delicious dish! Everything about it was delicious. The peppers and onions were grilled to perfection, and the chicken was tender and juicy having just been fried on a golden batter. All this layered onto some Cantonese Style Noodles- it was the dish I didn't know I needed! Our meal at The Granite was hearty and delicious! It kept us going for the long drive back to Toronto. Next time I'm in Bancroft, I'll definitely be back to have this dish and drink again. They were so good!

My friend and I just finished hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park, and needed to make our way to…read moreour cottage in Bancroft. This place was recommended by our hosts, and it was one of the few places that was open late in town so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant looks to be in a converted house and it was very busy. We didn't have a reservation but luckily there was a no show so we ended up taking their slot. I ended up ordering the sausage trio. Because it was so busy it took a while for our food to arrive, but it was worth the wait. Portion wise it was quite large and the presentation nice. In addition to the variety of sausages, there was also mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts, and some sauerkraut. The tastes of all the elements blended nicely together and I found everything to be quite delicious. The house made spicy mustard sauce was a nice touch and kicked things up a notch. I would come back again if I ever made my way back to Bancroft

Price of pizza was reasonable, but to our absolute surprise the cost of the salad was $50. Yes, $50. Hard to believe. It was delicious, but they should really warn people of that cost when ordering. We never thought to ask, as we never in our wildest dreams thought it would cost that much. We called the next day to inquire why our bill was so high- we were sure there must have been an error. But no, it was correct.

Was looking forward to having a big piece of Halibut but was informed that the pieces were small and very expensive. As such I tried the Haddock but was quite disappointed in the portion size, mostly all batter. Also tried the clam strips which were dismal, pre made out of a bag and such a small portion. Fries were ok, nothing special and the coleslaw wasn't too my taste as well, very finely grated and such a small portion. So not a very good value, $17.00 for the Haddock and $12.00 for the clam strips. Probably the best option locally, but doesn't compare to many other fish and chip places around.

Quesadilla - tasty filling and again big portion. They have decent hot sauces for the table but you can ask for their homemade hot sauce. Overall a good experience.

The staff are friendly, the food is delicious and fresh and the locals seem to love it too! Came here on a Monday around noon. It was a little tricky to find since Google maps instructed us to the parking lot on the hill behind the cafe, but it wasn't hard to correct the mistake. The restaurant is by the water, close to a playground for kids and had some nice outdoor seating options. I ordered the sun-dried tomato panini sandwich (I recommend adding some protein like chicken or bacon to it) and my partner ordered the chicken pesto panini sandwich (which I loved!). The homemade slaw was a nice compliment to the grilled sandwiches (their slaw is on the sweeter side). Not pictured are the drinks & sweet treats we very much enjoyed: -creamy chai latte -white hot chocolate (5 stars!) -chocolate chip cookie (drool) -nanaimo bar (I believe they are gluten free? Please double check, and it will last me for days - it's on the more decadent side) Overall, I'm one very happy customer and can't wait to return on my next Algonquin trip!
