We've got sun and sand . . . in the Med!

I can see myself here, can you?  Doesn't it look so inviting and serene!  We are off to warmer climes this week (although Monday and Tuesday would take some beating for this time of year). 

You have the opportunity to try some wonderful healthy cuisine this week in the form of our Mediterranean menu.  I'll let you in on a secret though--one of my favourite things about this particular menu rotation is the leftovers the following week.  They make a spectacular lunch dish.  Now I know you're all going to book your tables this week so I don't get leftovers next week, aren't you?  Maybe I should have kept it a secret.  Chef Daniel Craig (aka Bond) has perfected these dishes, although this week he has been busy with his newest movie release.

Slow things down this week and enjoy a sampling of European cuisine.  This food makes you feel good.  And McGill's has an excellent setting for a relaxing, tranquil dining experience.  As always, this menu is offered 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 and well worth the wait.

Here is what we have to offer you this week:
