    The door to the patio
    Tammy C.

    The Wild Tart is one of my favourite restaurants in Elora. The patio is so nice and they allow dogs on the patio. And the food is really tasty. I highly recommend doing the tea service. Also, all the staff are really lovely. I will definitely be back the next time I go to the Elora.

    Love the fact that they did a pop-up tent for Summer/Covid. Made for a nice atmosphere to sit out and eat. The staff was friendly and the food was prepared quite quickly. They had some unique options on their menu and overall despite the proportions in my opinion being a little small for the price, the taste was pretty good.

    (Late post) Spectacular cocktail and high tea food items! We visited in the end of August and sat on the patio - food was amazing... Possibily the most polished high tea I've had. Cocktail that came with the signature set was surprisingly delicious. Unfortunately we had to rush our meal to beat the swarm of 4-5 bees who kept coming back and sat on our desserts. Our server was apologetic and brought us napkins to cover our food (also offered the same to the other tables on the patio). It quickly became a weird meal where I could only see my girlfriend through the gap of the two tea sets because of the napkins draped over them.

    tea, service and desserts were good. Breakfast was a bit disappointing....$22 for 1 piece of avocado toast with a poached egg...no side salad or anything. I was still hungry after and one shouldn't be when you spend $22! We should have just ordered the high tea!

    Love Love Love the ambiance of this place! Clean & Friendly Staff with amazing brunch/light fayre and dessert menu! A must-go if you're visiting Elora for a, day trip or a weekend get-away! Make sure you make a reservation in advance before you plan your visit here! Most shops are opened until 5pm or 6pm here, but restaurants and cafes are usually opened a little later, but if you're from out of town, then I'd suggest dining here "after" you've done your scenic walks earlier throughout and enjoy a nice meal here as a reward! Their lemon meringue was amazing and their patio was very private, which we enjoyed a lot without a huge crowd!

    Classic (sweet) tea set

    My doctor told me about this place after I told her I'm going to Elora. So this has been on my 'favorite' as a reminder. Finally, the day come to try this place. It was lovely food,service, and place! We ordered ham with quail terrine and spice apple chutney, and classic (sweet) tea set. After waiting for (not sure how long), the attendant informed us that it will take bit longer because the chef is making new batch. We were not 'hangry', so we dont mind the waiting. Turn out they came back and gave us complementary gazpacho (husband love it and eat my portion too). How thoughtful! Then the food came. The ham sandwich is sooooo good. The melted cheese on top of the bread, the terrine sauce and ham, and the spice apple chutney on the side , all is well balanced. I put the chutney like a jam (put it little bit on the sandwich, then i savour it slowly and passionly). It also come with green leafies salad (which I didn't expect, but it's nice to eat well-balanced food anyway). The tea set came with 2 bread (and 3 different 'sauce' on side), 4 mini sandwich (cucumber, smoke salmon, egg, ham), 4 dessert. All is very delish!!! Soft, tender, light, fluffy....nothing too strong/overpowering/heavy. Dessert is a very nice ending! I wish i can order more dessert to take home, but worry that it will get ruined after 2hours drive home. The garden patio is lovely and I could imagine it is pretty at night. French music is also playing in background. Overall is a beautiful experience. Highly recommended! Make sure to make reservation to avoid the wait.

    Came to Elora and couldn't leave without trying some delicious high tea. We were not disappointed despite them running out of savoury bites by 4pm. They substituted it nicely with other savoury eats. We shared one signature tower for two people because we were restaurant hopping. Otherwise, we would have each gotten our own. But even then, we were a quite satisfied. We got the Niagara tea and it paired perfectly with our food. The Prosecco was strong and made us very bubbly. The service was great and eating in the patio is always lovely. The inside decor is just as nice. Would highly recommend to come here and I can't wait to come back!!!!!!

    Lunch (open faced sandwiches Salmon in the foreground, roast beef in the back)

    What a perfect lunch. From the greeting from James, our host, to the ambiance and finally the food (lunch; salmon gravlax open faced sandwich and roast beef open faced sandwich), it was a perfect lunch. Lots of tea and dessert options. Highly recommend

    Classic Afternoon Tea

    This place is the real deal. We heard about it through word of mouth, and ordered the Classic Afternoon Tea x2 (see picture). Ambience: 5/5 Beautiful interior - we loved the blue of the seats, and the artful furniture. The patio seating was also very excellent - the surrounding view reminded us of a villa in Italy (old stone walls, lots of trees, etc.) Food: 5/5 Wow. The pastries and cakes were simply on point - they were flavourful and rich, yet delicately done (everything felt complimentary, with no single taste overpowering) and simply beautifully constructed. My personal favourites were the Almond Financier, as well as the cheese scone with garlic butter. This place easily had one of the best pastries/cakes I've ever had at any high tea experience. Service: 5/5 Great service, polite and courteous. One of the owners was also serving food, and took some time to chat with us and tell us a bit about the history of the place. Overall, this is 100% a must-go if you enjoy pastries, cakes, and high tea. We will most definitely be returning to try out more of their menu.

    Finally got a chance to stop by the Wild Tart after seeing their amazing reviews. We bought the Lemon Meringue pie, Raspberry mousse cake, and passionfruit tartelette. The owner was exceptionally kind and went out of his way to give us a complimentary croissant. :) Each piece was spectacular in taste and I couldn't help but finish everything. Thank you for the great service and delightful treats. I will definitely be back again!

    Just one star off for the priciness, but otherwise really delicious, really pleasant environment,…read moreand a super helpful and friendly server. The French onion soup was really thick with cheese at the top, perhaps a bit too much so. The carrot salad was really pleasant to eat and felt healthy. The burger had a nice flavor and texture to it; the bun was a bit sweet, and the fries were tasty, but not super crisp though crisp enough, and a bit salty. The leek tartine was a bit monolithic, the leek being too oily and the bread a bit flat. It was overpriced by about $6 or $7 in my opinion. Wish there was as little more going for it. The crepes were decent; the nutella crepe was particularly sweet. For dessert, the roulé au chocolat was top notch, with a freshly whipped cream accompanying a sturdy and flavorful chocolate roll cake. Music was good too! All in all a good way to spend time eating and having a bite with friends and family prior to a show.

Our guy was on top of things, good descriptions and always there when we needed him. The food was yummy but not mind blowing. I loved that you could do half fries and half salad. The frite were soooo goooood and the garlic aioli was delightful. The rest was just good. I didn't think the "crispy" added a lot to the eggs benny but it was interesting to try. Nice place if you want to have a fancy little brunch before a play

    The board in front of the restaurant says "Biggest waterfront patio in Elora" which is correct…read more They have a 2-storey patio and also more tables in the garden area. The serving lady was very nice and helpful. I was so disappointed to hear that most of the menu items weren't available, but I was so excited to try homemade pizza and past in an Italian restaurant. We ordered "Sausage & Peppers Pasta", "Bucatini Bison Bolognese pasta", "Classic Canadian Pizza" and "Confit Garlic & Onion Pizza". Pizza dough tasted really good, but my pizza was burned and it was served with no explanations or apologies, which was a put off. Pastas tasted ok but nothing special. To be honest, I expected more of this place based on the marketing and reviews I read on Yelp.

It was a little chilly so the restaurant was considerate enough to have light blankets available for guests. The tables seemed big for the outdoor but they had room. The food for what I had was enjoyable. Mine was the Canadiana Pizza. Very tasty & a decent about of toppings as well. The loss of a 1/2 star was due to the not completely cooked pizza shell. Everything else worked quit well including our server "David". One of the better servers that I've had in quit a while. He was very friendly & attentive & earned his tip. This is an indoor do-over.

I would get the sea scallops over the Capelletti, but both were very good. My halibut was cooked perfectly. Next time I want to try that beetroot pavé, it sounds great. We also shared the baked Alaska, note that is not lit on fire for you. I wish they sold the spiced chocolate ice cream separately. I would absolutely buy a tub to take home. It was amazing. The waiter was very kind and there was a nice welcoming, non-stuffy feeling to the restaurant. I wish they advertised soda products, especially for people who don't drink alcohol. Even during the fancy dinner sometimes a good pop hits the spot.

As soon as we entered we were greeted and seated upstairs in a lovely quaint dining room. Our waiter Kyle came over and explained the menu options. We both ordered cocktails and decided to try the tasting menu. It was a great decision as we enjoyed everything that was placed in front of us. While everything was amazing, my favorite dish that evening was the salmon with the perfectly crispy skin and the pork loin/pork belly. The amazing service provided by Kyle, the ambiance, quality ingredients and amazing pairing of the ingredients made for an unforgettable meal and I can't wait to return to Quatrefoil. If you like French cooking, I highly suggest you give this establishment a try...and for amazing service, ask for Kyle.
