    I went to North Grenville/Kemptville for a daytrip, and I really enjoyed the takeout I got from the crusty baker! I chose a sandwich, soup, and a couple of baked goods. I was most impressed with the baked goods; the butter tart was indulgent, and the scone had great flavour. I would prefer baked goods instead of the savoury food; I found the sandwich could have had more volume of toppings, and the soup was a small portion for $6.50. However, service was very friendly and helpful! I will return for baked goods when I am back.

    Had stopped in for lunch and had the soup and sammich du jour. the sammich was a pickled roasted red pepper with baby spinach and brie cheese with some sicy salami and tomato on some great crusty italian bread. Very tasty. Some might find the salami slightly spicy. The soup du jour was so good. A home made chicken and leek soup. Great flavor! $16 before tip with a baguette of rosemary and sea salt. Definitely will be back.

    I fully concur that the breads are fabulous. I have done the soup and sandwich lunch numerous times and enjoyed the creativity of the menu that changes daily. I have also loved the crepes whether morning or afternoon- regular or savoury- as a main or dessert. So far a seat has been available whenever I have visited though at times space seemed at a premium. Breads amongst the best I have tasted. Even better is a soup you rate as topnotch and then return again for a 10.

    Pheasant and apple soup and pulled pork half sandwich!! Yummmy!!

    Perfect antidote to the crappy food you are exposed to on the typical 401 journey between Toronto and Ottawa.

    I have waited to try this gem out for a long time and we finally made it out to Richmond on Sunday…read more The Richmond Village Bakeshop is only open Thursday to Sunday as they use the other days to buy ingredients and prep for the most delightful experience you're going to have. First off, the cafe / bakery is located in the quaint and cosy town of Richmond in Ottawa inside a historic hospital that has been converted to the bakeshop and owners home. As you enter, you're greeted by the most kind staff who make you feel welcome right away (bonus is that they are very kid friendly as well) We ordered the brunch special which was a raisin French toast, home fried, bacon and sausage along with tea and a butter tart. While the food here shares names with things you think you may see elsewhere, there is no comparison. It's next level. They baked the bread for the French toast in house and everything is meticulously prepared with real attention to detail. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed while the food quality is that of a fancy restaurant. On the way out, the owner gave out son a baked apple fritter that was so delicious. I give this place 5 solid stars for service, food and atmosphere! My only regret is not taking more photos - I will try to get some on my next visit which I assure you, there will be plenty of. Side note: we got a loaf of cheese bread on the way out and it was soooooooo good!

    Looks like I'm first up, so I better make it count! So…read morehere's a brief history, I like sticky buns and I cannot lie, the other brothers can't deny, that Packenham had the best in the space, till the recipe ended up in Carleton place. Plagiarized raps out of the way, here's my review... We heard that CP general store had amazing sticky buns and were further intrigued when rumours circulated that they had the recipe from the OG Packenham General store. We made two attempts to drive the CP to get them but the staff who was there said that they didn't have them at the time we went. I called on a Saturday morning and asked if they could put some aside.... Not only did she put some aside, she was kind enough to remember us and put a bow and ribbon on this really nice gift box for my son. We got a few other things as well, they had cheese sticks, a couple of seltzer type drinks and the butter tarts. Lemme first talk about the butter tarts - they are unlike any other butter tart and I don't think I can get them from anywhere else now - they were so delicious and although sweet, the pack of 6 disappeared over two days. Now for the sticky buns: holy shit so good, you gotta get them! That's all I gotta say - just gooey and delectable! The staff - five star! The entrance is a shared entrance with a gift and antique store so overall a really nice experience. The Carleton Place General Store gets 5 stars from me.

    This now turns out to be my favourite, out of the 2 (YES, two!) Chinese restaurants located in the…read moresmall town of Prescott - which has roughly 5,000 people. Both have run similar models since the 3+ years we have lived here, and probably since COVID started in 2020: this model being take out only. By offering this model, they have managed to keep both locations in business, and the citizens of Prescott sane. I have heard that both were operated by... brothers? Cousins? Not sure, but they were related. I used to like the other restaurant better, until recently, when both opened for dine-in as well as continued take out; I had ordered a dish at the other place that I had liked better than here (however, to be fair, I cannot know recall what that dish was! Time to sample and compare again.) On the other hand, I have also heard that both locations have recently changed hands, so we shall see what the future holds. We recently had cause to dine in at this restaurant, and they were accommodating for our group of 11 or 12 people. Service was pleasant, if a bit flustered; one waitress was serving all the guests in the restaurant. Once the other diners were taken care of, and her attention was focused on us, things went more smoothly. The food was good, and the service was attentive from this point forward. There were even a few bits of the meal packaged to take-home (so I guess Chinese take out never really goes out of style!) I loved the decor here; we were in the 2nd dining room, where our chatter would not interfere with the other guests. The space is nicely decorated. There's even an old fireplace in this room. I look forward to going backnto dine in.

    Just went there again this week. Excellent food and portions are great. Lots of variety but I have…read moresome dishes that I love so I haven't tried everything. Never had a bad meal. New renovation looks amazing. Expect there will be many dine-ins once again. New owners are friendly and welcoming.
