Harrison's Fall Foods
Sharing Our Top
Comfort Eats!

While some are sighing, others are
excited to welcome the fall feels.
Cool days mean chunky knits,
steaming cups of tea, and comfort food!

Did you know that Harrison
is a culinary hotbed?

Choose from quaint cafés
to upscale bistros with bold flavours
to warm the heart and belly!

Warmed Caesar Salad with a Poached Egg

Harrison Corner Café

Harrison Corner Café is launching
its seasonal menu where everything is
made from scratch. Come in for a
warmed Caesar Salad topped with
a perfectly poached egg or mushroom
risotto with truffle oil and goat cheese.

Mushroom Risotto with Goat Cheese and Truffle Oil

Rib Steak Burger with a Side Salad

Muddy Waters Café

This quaint café is known for its
farm-to-table philosophy.
How about sinking your teeth into a
juicy rib steak burger, made from
locally-raised Black Angus Cattle,
and topped with gooey melted cheese
and all the fixins'!

Schnitzel Bratwurst

Black Forest Restaurant

Mmmm...potatoes, sausage & gravy?
Experience authentic German cuisine
with fried potatoes, house-made
peppercorn gravy, & Schnitzel Bratwurst.
If it's raining, not to worry as Black Forest
has a covered and heated patio where
you can still enjoy the lake views.

Calamari Dinner

Milos Greek Taverna

From Germany to Greece, how about
the calamari paired with rice pilaf, pita
bread, and tzatziki? Owned by the same
family as Black Forest, Milos features
another beautiful patio.

Butter Chicken

Royal King Indian Restaurant

Meet the 'newest kid on the block'
having just opened a few weeks
ago. Fragrant and aromatic spices
infuse these dishes. Highly recommend
the Butter Chicken, cooked in a creamy
butter tomato sauce.

Yes, we said butter!

Double loaded Bacon Cheeseburger

Old Settler Pub

Harrison's neighbourhood pub with its
signature fireplace. Double the
deliciousness with two layers of beef,
bacon, cheese, & loaded toppings!

Pho Tai with Eye Round Steak & Vegetables

Phở Hồ Vietnamese Noodle

Soup.Is.Love. Choose your favourite
and pair a shrimp salad roll.
Truth is you'll have a hard time
choosing just one bite.

Shrimp Salad Rolls and Peanut Sauce
