Gardens Gate Restaurant
The Garden's Gate
A farmhouse restaurant opened in 1991 that uses vegetables and edible flowers from its own garden.
Located beside Highway 542 in Tehkummah on the island's southeast side, this converted old farmhouse is surrounded by gardens. Opened in 1991, it focuses on farm-to-table cooking: vegetables and edible flowers grown on site are used both in dishes and as garnish. Soups, pasta and desserts are made by hand, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Past menus have included local salmon belly with rice noodles. No alcohol is served. Some longtime regulars come every summer, while others say quality has slipped and prices have risen since a change in ownership. Expect about CAD 35–55 per person. Hours vary, so call 705-859-1422 ahead.
