Windermere's Café

Friday 27 January

After Holt's talk at the University of Western Ontario, Kelly Olson kindly took us out to a picturesque, parklike location and led us onto the terrace of the almost deserted, but still pleasant Windermere's Café.

For openers, we had crabcakes and pastrami-cured salmon (like a drier form of lox) on arugula, followed by a lovely bit of venison with a wild cherry sauce, and a slightly fatty slice of prime rib, each garnished with redskin potatoes and asparagus. We ended, by spliting the molten chocolate lava cake, and what more need be said? A very nice Inniskillen Pinot Noir and an experimental Naked Grape Cab. Sauv. So thank you, Kelly, for a lovely dinner and sparkling conversation!
