A taste of the Med at McGill's

I don't know what happened to our weather, but we definitely aren't having Mediterranean temperatures.  But we do have our Mediterranean menu to offer you this week to make up for the temps.  We just need to use our imagination a little more.  And perhaps drink more wine.
Souvlaki
 
Lots of delicious choices for you this week.  The tabbouleh is back on the menu after a winter hiatus, which is always a wonderfully light way to start your meal.  The entire Med cuisine on offer is refreshing light and tasty.  It is one of the healthier diets out there.  We are fully licensed with an excellent range in wines, Garrison beer on tap and specialty coffees and cocktails. 

White Chocolate Bavarian Mousse

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.  Our patio is always open, although it may be a bit chilly just yet to enjoy dinner outside.  Stop by anytime and enjoy a drink and/or lunch on the patio.
