Gëzuar Vitin e Ri! Happy New Year!

A special greeting for my Albanian friends, you know who you are. :)
 
On that note, it's Mediterranean week at McGill's and we'd like to invite you to join us and try this fantastic cuisine.  This food is so flavourful but at the same time makes you feel good about yourself.  Remember the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest.  Why not make this week the week you try something new.  What about the sea bream?  This is a wonderful mild-tasting white fish, some would even say the best of any white meat fish.  That's what I'm having.  All of the appetizers are perfect and, as I haven't as yet tried the pistachio ice cream, that's what I'll be finishing up with.  Pictured below is our White Chocolate Bavarian Mousse.  It is just as heavenly as it looks!photo

Slow down this week and enjoy a sampling of European cuisine.  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:

Dolmades - Short-grain rice and fresh herbs wrapped in tender grape leaves and simmered gently in a flavourful chicken broth.  Served with tzatziki

Chicken Marrakesh - Sweet bell peppers and garbanzo beans with an earthy Moroccan spice blend served with a fresh grilled chicken breast.  Served over saffron and toasted almond couscous and finished with Greek yogurt
