McGill's is taking us to the Med for some warm weather!

Since spring, officially here, still feels like a ways off, I thought I would bring you some light at the end of the tunnel this week.  Who wishes they were here?  I'm ready to spend some time on that Albanian beach.  We can all dream, right?

McGill's is doing its best this week to bring us a taste of the Med.  This cuisine reminds me of leisurely evening dinners in the summer.  On the patio.  With a glass of wine.  Informal and relaxed.  Perfect.  Ok, it may still be too cold for the patio, but it's coming.  I love the nature of these dishes, so light and flavourful.  And I can assure you that the Bavarian mousse, pictured here, is just as light and dreamy as it looks.  Perfect ending to a great evening's dining at McGill's. 

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.
