MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Known for their time at Sumac & Salt, Chef Joel Gray and Hannah Harradine apply a heartfelt approach by welcoming diners into their own home in Grey County for a charming, intimate experience. Here, an interior kitchen and a barbecue are used to create a meal that spotlights excellent local products. Everything is lovingly presented by the team, with the chef offering explanations of many of the courses. Standouts include pieces of coal-roasted beets arranged with pickled pumpkin and dabs of creamy pumpkin seed purée. Trout brined with spruce tips is slow-smoked then quick-seared and presented with Ontario potatoes, fiddlehead ferns, and trout roe. Braised lamb neck stuffs a wild leek raviolo dressed with a preserved green tomato jus, giving a subtle hint of spice.
