Americano tasted more like coffee than espresso but still tasty. Much quicker and healthier than a chip truck easy on and off from the main road. Service was super friendly. Casual / window ordering walk-up vibe. Amazing looking drinks and ice cream too. Sorry no photos we ate it up quick! Great place to stop.

We came here for lunch takeout during our trip in the area. It was a really decent cafe with great…read morevalue for money. All the food here was with good portions and decent flavour, at a much cheaper price than many ones in GTA in this market. We got ham and cheese sandwich (tasty according to other people in the group), baby size strawberry ice cream (note that their single scoop is equivalent to five small scoops elsewhere) and Greek salad. They put decent amount of cheese which blended well with the creamy sauce for the salad. The takeout box was fully packed with salad which even made it hard to open! I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for simple lunch options.

A family run Inn and Restaurant…read more Everyone feels welcome, more like a guest of the family than a patron of the business. Mr. & Mrs. Paramjit Singh are a welcome addition to the North Kawartha Community. They never fail to smile, each and every customer feels as though they have the Singhs' full attention. Their customer instincts are well honed, if you can't decide they'll be more than happy to help narrow it down with you. Beverage refills are quick and steady. If Poppa Singh is in the kitchen, you can usually pour your own coffee, or get hot water for your tea. They have a pick-up menu of east Indian foods that is remarkable. It is prepared, cooked, and served with the customer in mind. It takes time so order a day in advance, or call early to see if they can fit you in. I'd suggest the former, Mrs. Singh is a very busy lady. Atmosphere: Uncle Pars' sun-room. Family warm and friendly. Staff: Warm, friendly, efficient, wonderful, more like extended family. Prices: Average for the regular menu, very reasonable for the pick-up menu. Tip: Well, these are very hardworking people (7 days/week), and they like what they do. Food: The Canadian/American menu is average fare, but it's fresh, prepared for you, not pre-prepared for the next guy who orders it. So it takes the time to cook, that you would at home in the kitchen. Still reasonable prep time. When you get it, it is home cooking at its' finest. The pick-up menu is always fantastic! East Indian food prepared by a wonderful east Indian lady. Whatever combination you choose, you will be happy with. Once you've set a spell at the Apsley Inn & Restaurant, you be back now, you hear? A shame to drive by and not say 'hello'.

We were drawn into Woody's by all the "flair" that surrounded the little place - wood animal…read morestatues abound! Menu prices were a bit on the high side especially since posted prices did not include taxes! We ordered 3 regular burgers (no cheese or bacon), a large poutine, large fries and 3 drinks and our tab was close to $50! I had to veto the ice cream dessert! The burgers definitely tasted home made - a bit on the drier side but they were generous with the toppings so that made up for it. There's a nice outdoor seating area to eat in. Staff are very friendly and offered things like extra napkins and paper plates to divide up our meal. They let us use the indoor bathroom for our little guy instead of the dark and scary outhouse! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area for a meal you don't have to cook yourself!

More like a chip truck out back of the tourist curio shop…read more Meats are usually reminiscent of the stuff at the bottom of the freezer, so a little dry. Atmosphere: Roadside chip-truck. Picnic tables to eat outside, if the weather is good. Alongside Eels' Creek in North Kawartha, village of Apsley across the creek. Staff: Friendly, in a city-folk way. Food: Chip-truck fare a la carte. Salad, burgers, hot-dogs, chicken-on-a-bun, fries, poutine, canned soft-drinks. Be prepared to wait, check out the tourist curio shop. Fries are inconsistent; either overcooked or kept under a heat lamp too long. Prices: Very high for this area, don't forget to add 13%HST to whatever you order. Bacon burger, fries, and soft-drink $21.00 after taxes. Tip: Plastic cup for your spare change, at these prices thy want your change? Facilities: Portable chemical toilet with hand sanitizer, mmm good! Suppose you could wash-up in Eels' Creek.

One of the nicer…read morerestaurants in the cottage area to go to with friendly service, hot food easy to drive to and find. Nothing much to see in area, other stores were closed. Called to make a dinner reservation at 2pm on a random Tuesday, the mature lady sounded really stressed trying to "squeeze in" our reservation for 4 +high chair for baby and asked us to arrive earlier, so we came early before 5. They apparently are always full every night, so you need to make reservations sooner than later. Wasn't a great first impression along with an odd looking website. But when we arrived after a hard down pour we came to a third full restaurant inside at 4:30pm! It was mainly seniors and my family but it looked way better than their website and the waitresses were very sweet. All tables had reserved signs (so she wasn't kidding earlier) and service was fast at that time. Food came very fast, fresh and hot so my MIL had nothing to complain about! Didn't have room to try dessert but after hearing coffee wasn't fresh ground drip but the syrup machine kind we grabbed the bill. Menu is a bit all over the place, can't go wrong with their sandwiches burgers and fish & chips. Would go back to chill on patio next time

How long must one wait for a cheeseburger, fries, and a refill?…read moreAt the Swiss Bear, about 90 minutes. Was given a coffee when seated, never refilled until our meal came, then never refilled again. They asked if we would like dessert, not at 90 minutes per order thank-you! Atmosphere: Cramped table spacing. Too close. Portions: Average. Prices: On the high side for the service. Tip: I didn't give one other than frequent refills and faster service. Staff: Distant and impersonal. Food: Nothing out of the ordinary, could've, should have been served hot. Swiss by name but not by example.
