About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Good for groups

Elmhirst’s Resort is an all season, cottage resort and conference facility. It offers a spa, excellent dining and a host of activities for the whole family. Our collection of cottages is nestled on the pretty shore of Rice Lake. It is managed by a fifth generation of Elmhirst family and continues to offer the very best of the Kawarthas — much of it grown here, raised here or sourced from our very own 240-acre property.

This property is the cornerstone of the Elmhirst’s Resort experience, and we’re committed to preserving it. Toward that end, we pride ourselves on environmental sustainability. In every aspect of our operation, we strive to use resources respectfully, and are always looking for new ways to ensure the land’s continued majesty.

Sitting by the window, looking out at Rice Lake is perfect for ambiance appreciation. Michelle our server was very friendly and helpful and the food as always was excellent although too plentiful. I’m having seconds tonight at home. You do not leave hungry. A bit of a drive perhaps for some, but worth it.
