Welcome to the Med!

This week we're heating things up and taking you to a warm and sunny climate in the Mediterranean.  Did you know that following a Mediterranean diet may prolong your life and enable you to enjoy a high quality of life?  It's a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and olive oil, AND red wine.  I'm going with the red wine being a major contributing factor to that enjoyment. ;-) 

The time to start enjoying this healthy lifestyle is this week!  We are offering you some fabulous dishes from the Med and we would like to invite you to join us on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  Fine dining in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are located at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  And remember, our cuisine is always freshly prepared.

Here is what we have to offer you this week:
