We discovered Maja’s last summer and was eager to come back this year! Maja’s didn’t disappoint! My husband and little son got out of the car and immediately played a game of chess on the big outdoor board in the front yard while I ordered food at the front of the house. When they were done, they joined my mom and I in the idyllic back garden, full of flowers, vegetables, and fruit. There’s a little sink at the corner of the house for eco friendly hand washing before lunch, and clean well stocked bathrooms in the back. The friendly owners wore masks to serve us, leaving our food and drinks at a little table just a few steps away, as they did last year. The food was delicious, as usual. My son and I had the two meat options on the menu - a lovely ham and cheese quiche with soup, and two tender sausages with a wonderfully light and flavourful pasta salad. My vegetarian husband had so many options, and ended up with the cheese sandwich and soup. My mom had the garden pizza and side salad and loved it! I must admit that food is not necessarily what you come to Manitoulin Island for, but Maja’s is definitely one of the best restaurants around.

Maja and Guy were amazing hosts. We enjoyed the garden party this past Saturday. We contacted ahead and she was able to accommodate our dietary needs. The atmosphere in the garden was incredible. She explained the process involved in her recipes and the work involved in the garden. We can’t say enough.

Quite different and unexpected in a small town like Mindemoya. Different idea, very unique. Good food, friendly service, beautiful garden and backyard. Food is not everyday staples, different, freshly made and very tasty. All home made on the spot with a great twist, vegan mostly, which is not my cup of tea but Wild Garlic sausages did the trick for me.
Highly recommended. Places like this are needed everywhere.
