Our excursion today was simple but delightful. On our way home from the airport, our driver Mr. Gaskell, told us about a new market/restaurant in Milton. This old town is inland along highway 8. We drive right through Milton on the way to the cottage and we have friends who live there but we had never seen the new place even though it opened a year ago. Mr. G. gave us directions which I paid no attention to. I knew Milton was a small place which we would easily find. But I was wrong and we were forced to stop a passing walker for directions. Our goal was lunch. Again Mr. G. said they had simple but good food, and that the place was small.
When we finally found the little place it was about a quarter mile off the highway. The parking lot was empty but of course it was late for lunch. The little house is made of stone and is cute. Inside, the owners have made it very attractive, with a ceramic tiled floor and cute sayings hanging on the wall. And board and batten siding on the lower side of the walls. The place smelled like food and welcoming. Ken ate fried clams and onion rings while Dave and Irene ordered fish and chips. I ate a chicken burger made with a curry sauce. I ordered it because curry in Nova Scotia is not common. The service was excellent, friendly and efficient. We ate everything on our plates.
When we left, we bought a whole pie to take home for dinner. We have desserts from the catering only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and as Pat and Mal were going to arrive we wanted a special dessert. We four were happy campers. The little place was charming. We will go again.
