Elmhirst’s Resort offers two on-site restaurants on Rice Lake, the upscale Hearthside Dining Room and the casual Wild Blue Yonder Pub and Patio, both serving fresh, locally sourced ingredients grown and raised right on the property.

Hearthside Dining Room
The Hearthside Dining Room is Elmhirst’s upscale dining experience; a farm-to-table restaurant serving seasonal menus built around fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including Elmhirst’s Own. Paired with Ontario VQA wines and sweeping views over Rice Lake, it’s the kind of dinner worth planning your trip around. In-house desserts by our pastry chef round out the experience.
Open Monday to Saturday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and Sunday for brunch and dinner. Reservations recommended.

Wild Blue Yonder Pub
Named in honour of Elmhirst’s aviation history, the Wild Blue Yonder Pub and Patio is the resort’s casual dining spot. Open daily from 11am to 8pm. Pull up a seat for local craft beer on draught, pub classics, Elmhirst’s Own menu items, and a kids menu, all in a relaxed atmosphere that’s equally good for a quick bite after check-in or a leisurely evening with the family.

Elmhirst's Own
Elmhirst’s Resort is a working farm as well as a destination, and the two are inseparable on your plate. Elmhirst’s Own is the name for ingredients raised, grown, and harvested right on the resort’s 240-acre property, including beef, duck, and turkey, seasonal vegetables from the kitchen garden, and house-harvested honey and maple syrup. When you dine here, you’re tasting what’s grown just steps away.
