It's Cajun time!

Making its rare appearance only in months with a fifth week, the Cajun menu returns.  If you are looking to try something different, this is the week to visit McGill's.  Oysters, crab cakes, jambalaya, catfish . . . definitely not your everyday food.  The spiciness of this food is just perfect!  Come on in, the 'gators are friendly!

I hope you will be joining us this week.  I guarantee the food will be spectacular, the atmosphere cozy and intimate, making for a relaxed dining experience.  Or perhaps the weather will cooperate and you could enjoy your meal outside on the patio.  We are fully licensed with Garrison beer on tap, bottled beer and an excellent selection of wines.  Or try a cocktail.  Finish off your meal with an tasty specialty coffee. And remember you can enjoy this flavourful cuisine two nights this week - 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.
