Surprisingly good…read more Not many places are open Sunday evening in the area and this is clearly the best available. That being said it's not really settling as it's solid on its own. Calamari had an Indian twist with tandoori whole wheat flour & soya roasted sesame seed sauce was surprisingly good. It's rings only which is a shame since tentacles are better. Also shows that these are previously frozen. Butter Chicken with steamed rice & wilted spinach, served with pickled vegetables & garlic naan was excellent and authentic. The chefs are Indian and we were told this was their personal recipe from home. Risotto Button & shiitake mushrooms with fresh parmesan is apparently a dish that has been on since they started and it was definitely good. Slow Roasted Lamb Shank with red pepper jelly, mustard seed, roasted vegetables & red-skin smashed potatoes was surprisingly a touch sweet and one of the best lamb shanks I've had. Overall great meal. Ambiance is casual.

Don't choose between the ones with cream cheese and the standard fruit varieties, just get both. The butter tarts. Dear HEAVENS the butter tarts. Were they ever incredible. We have two gorgeous pies awaiting a visit to friends tomorrow and more treats for breakfast tomorrow. This is a destination bakery worth traveling for if you are in the Lake of Bays area. You won't find anything fresher with more variety and more delightful than this one. Just don't be impatient: you and everyone else will need loads of time to pick it all out!

This location is the newer of the two locations, and accommodates larger parties than the original Dwight location. Locals and tourists come here for the great selection of bread, sticky buns, cookies, and other baked goods. They also have a great selection of beverages including coffees and teas. We stopped at this Huntsville location on the way home from Algonquin Park as the Dwight location didn't have the pie I wanted. It turns out their apple pie is hugely popular as it was sold out at this store too. Staff were friendly and helpful, and suggested calling ahead or pre-ordering the apple pie as options in the future. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

And they only have a bit of organic guar gum to keep the ice cream all silky smooth. Many other ice creams including Kawartha have carageenan in them which is not good for us at all. After speaking with the lovely owner who is a chef (all ice cream made ON PREMISES) we learned that a few shops carry this ice cream (2 places in Scarborough ON and also The Royal York hotel). After an absolutely terrible and underwhelming and laughably overpriced lunch at Local this was a great reward.

Belly was located across the street from our Air Bnb during our weekend stay in Huntsville. And…read moreeach night we looked covetously over at Belly as we pulled into our driveway, arriving too late from dinner to get there before they closed. It was a priority of mine to finally visit Belly our last evening but then the time started slipping away from us. We thought all was lost after it turned 8, but then we serendipitously looked over our brochure for Belly again and noticed that on Saturdays they closed at 9. We hustled over, only to have the doors close on us at 8:59. The manager told my daughter she'd already started putting covers on the ice cream. And then I begged and said it was our last night and she responded that she couldn't say no. So of course we each got lots of samples. Kidding! The Kiddie scoops followed the usual trend in Ontario of ridiculously large scoops of ice cream. At Kawartha Dairy where we ate the day before, a Kiddie was like a large where we live in the San Francisco Bay Area. This time the Kiddie was more like the size of a Medium. (A Medium at an artisan creamery in the Bay Area is $8.50 American compared to this Kiddie $3.50 Canadian.) The two Kiddie scoops were a bargain and easily fed the four of us. My daughter earlier had pored over the Belly brochure we had at our Air Bnb, and requested the Blueberry Lavender. Even though it wasn't in the case, the manager had a container just behind her! (Unfortunately they didn't also have the Sticky Toffee Pudding Flavor I also saw in the brochure.) My son got the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry, which was more like strawberry with some chocolate chips than what I'd imagined by the name. Maybe there's a better way to make it actually taste like it sounds? These are all minor quibbles. The ice cream was excellent and both were better than the flavors we got at Kawartha Dairy. The blueberry lavender was really good and my favorite of the two. I'm sometimes skeptical of floral notes in food but this worked. The strawberry in the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry was easily better than Kawartha's strawberry. This one had real strawberry flavor and actual strawberry pieces in it. I felt like the chocolate taste didn't come through in the chips, which often happens with chocolate chips in ice cream. My daughter (absorber of the Belly brochure) filled us in on the founding of the store while we ate. She said that the name came from a mom who had a big pregnancy belly while carrying twins. As a fellow twin mom I relate. If this was 14 years ago I'd come here to eat for three. Best tastes of Huntsville trip 1) Farmer's Daughter (pierogies) 2) Farmer's Daughter (berry scone) 3) BELLY (blueberry lavender ice cream) 4) Allora (papardelle with short ribs) 5) Farmer's Daughter (lentil wrap) 6) Farmer's Daughter (mac and cheese) 7) Farmer's Daughter (chocolate chip cookie) 8) Farmer's Daughter (iced chocolate chai) 9) BELLY (chocolate covered strawberry ice cream) 10) Farmer's Daughter (bean avocado edamame salad)

And we hadn't been bothered by mosquitos yet in Muskoka (apparently it had been "too hot"), so we'd been rather cavalier with the mosquito spray. Cue "Lord of the Valkyries" from "Apocalypse Now" with the entrance of the mosquitos. The mosquitos particularly seemed to be fond of the picante pizza. That's when they made their first appearance - I'm guessing it was because of the honey on the pizza - and they dissipated somewhat when the food was gone. Some candles would have been nice to help with our mosquito naivete but the restaurant didn't have any. We got a seasonal special of Niagara-on-the-Lakes peach caprese. They had me at peach, caprese, AND Niagara-on-the-Lakes (one of my favorite places). The dish consisted of peaches, bocconcini (small fresh mozzarella balls), cucumbers, and peach gazpacho. It was good but small and honestly I thought it would be better. We were told the aforementioned picante pizza (salami, fior di latte mozzarella, honey) was the most popular. The salami was cut too big so some bites were all salami and some bites were no salami. It was good but I'd get a different pizza in the future. There's a similar pizza ("the sweet and heat" at State of Mind) in Palo Alto near where I live that works a little better that's topped with bacon, jalapenos, and honey. The husband and daughter liked their margherita pizza. My favorite dish was the pappardelle with short rib ragu. Short ribs always make everything better. The server was really nice and volunteered some places to visit in Muskoka.
