Last Friday on our tour of the lakes region we went to a familiar restaurant we had visited last year in Bracebridge. This is the Old Station today. Well you can see why they call it what they do as you can see the twin columns which used to be the posts where the pumps were in this gas station of the 1920's.

 

 

 

And the way it looked almost 100 years ago.

 

 

 

 

Inside we had a wonderful lunch with some really great service ... pubish atmosphere and great sandwiches. Here's the tasters with a nice glass of Malbec to celebrate ... Friday.

 

 

 

 

In front of me is their special of the day. It was a shaved prime rib on ciabatta bread (fresh and warm). It is with mozzarella, red onions, tomato, lettuce, and a warm rosemary beef cream sauce ... wow.

 

Soup is a cream of cauliflower and cheese. Jo-Anne is enjoying a "perfect" pulled pork BBQ sandwich on a sort of pita bread (the same warm and fresh) accompanied by the same soup and some coleslaw.

 

 

 

In the center of the place is this huge tree trunk, almost bearish looking, from a stump on the property hit by lightening some 25 years ago ... cool.
