Feliz Navidad!!!

Hola, México!  No guesses where we are off to this week.  I've already been chatting with my friend and we are all set to enjoy a Mexican fiesta again this month.  Maybe with a margarita?  Or sangria?  Hmmm, decisions, decisions!

We are offering you four appetizers this week so that is a tough choice initially.  The mains are all wonderful too, so flavourful!  The desserts, well, the desserts are just plain awesome, so I'm really no help.  However, this time, I think I'll try the empanadas and the chicken mole and finish it off with the churros.  Chef Bond does a fantastic job with these dishes!  If you haven't visited McGill's yet, why not drop by this week and see why we are becoming the spot in New Minas to dine.  

McGill's is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  Chef Bond (aka Daniel Craig) and his team in the kitchen are busy preparing for Christmas parties as well so reservations are strongly encouraged in the lead-up to Christmas.  Always freshly prepared, our cuisine will have you coming back for more and eagerly anticipating Mexican week each time it rolls around.  Enjoy 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. We'd love to have you join us.

Come and enjoy yourself!  ¡Pásatelo bien!
