Fais do-do! Welcome to Cajun week!


It's pure fun this week at McGill's as we bring you our Cajun cookin' once again.  Appearing only in months with a fifth week, this menu is eagerly anticipated when it comes around.  The food is scrumptious and it is just a fun atmosphere, an extra-special treat. 

I can recommend it all.  And if you are feeling particularly adventurous, how about giving frogs' legs a try.  They taste just like chicken, I promise you.  They aren't on the menu, but darlin' Chef Bond assures me he has some.  The main dishes are spiced perfectly.  So, if you are in the mood for something a bit hotter, a bit spicier, McGill's is where you need to be this week. 

I hope you will be joining us.  I guarantee the food will be spectacular, the atmosphere cozy and intimate, making for a relaxed dining experience.  And remember you can enjoy this flavourful cuisine three nights this week - Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  All our dishes are freshly prepared, but the wait is so worth it!  You don't want to miss your opportunity to try some Cajun cooking.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  You'll find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  We'd love to have you join us.

Here is what we have to offer you this week:

Chocolate Bread Pudding
Soft and creamy New Orleans bread pudding made with French baguette then kicked up with rich Cacao Barry dark chocolate and served with crème Chantilly.  A spicy meal calls for a smooth dessert and this is it!
