Let's have a rockin' Apple Blossom Festival Cajun-style!

Seriously, could the timing be any better for Apple Blossom weekend?  McGill's is THE spot to be this weekend.  Not only is it Cajun week, which is pretty exciting on its own, but McGill's will be set up roadside during the parade on Saturday serving you tasty treats and drinks.  Yes sirrr-eeeee, it's sure to be lots of fun this week at McGill's!  Come on in, the gators are friendly!

Making its rare appearance only in months with a fifth week, the Cajun menu is always a fun treat.  If you are looking to try something different, this is the week to do it.  Oysters, crab cakes, jambalaya . . . definitely not your everyday food.  So, no excuses.  I love the spiciness of this food.  It's just fun, fun, fun!  And we all need just a little more fun in our lives, right?

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.  The patio is open and the weather sounds perfect for alfresco dining.  And remember you can enjoy this flavourful cuisine three nights this week - Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5.00pm until close.  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:

Appetizer:

Crispy Louisiana Crab Cakes $15
Panko-breaded and served with mango salsa, spiced tomato glaze and a cilantro-avocado emulsion

Fresh Oysters:  Mix & Match 6 $21
