Taste the difference fresh makes

Tasting Maple

Dominion Hotel

For hearty comfort, the Dominion Hotel’s maple pulled pork poutine stacks crispy fries with pub cheese, smoky pork, maple barbecue sauce, and crunchy onion straws.

Hook, Line & Sinker

Special Maple Entrees & Drinks, made with local maple syrup will be added to the menu on April 4th & 5th… Hook, Line & Sinker puts its own spin on the season with the “Maple Bourbon Fizz”, bright and bubbly with just enough sweetness, and perfectly paired with maple bacon-dusted wings.

Abbey Gardens

At Abbey Gardens Food Hub, baristas craft maple lattes while the kitchen serves a savoury maple bacon jam grilled cheese layered with rich cheddar and house-made jam on fresh ciabatta. Sweet or savoury, maple shines either way.

Haliburton Post House

For something refined, the Haliburton Post House features a maple-cured Quebec foie gras terrine balanced with poached rhubarb, sourdough, spruce tip, and elderflower.

Eagle Lake Country Market

Eagle Lake Country Market bakes maple apple blondies made with local Winterdance syrup, glazed, golden, and tasting like apple pie crossed with a tender snack cake.
