Took my friend out for a Christmas Lunch and it was a great experience. We both ordered the specialty mulled wine but it was severely over spiced with cinnamon and allspice (I think) that it was undrinkable. I asked our server to just bring us a glass of wine which she did right away. The rest of our meal was fabulous so we were both happy that we had a great glass of wine to compliment it. The mulled wine was removed from our bill which was very nice of the server. All in all, it was a great afternoon and a wonderful way to spend time with a good friend!

Delight in a menu that changes in tandem with the seasons to offer dishes ever inspired by freshness and locality. Drawing inspiration from the indigenous bounty of local fare, the essence of the Elora Mill Hotel & Spa's food philosophy is heightened by an uncompromising aesthetic and exceptional service. Our Kitchen Counter experience is deserving of anticipation, one that breaks down barriers and puts the creative process on full display. Dining at the Elora Mill Hotel & Spa is anything but ordinary.
