.ch3rieberry*.: Treadwell's Farm to Table Cuisine *.

Started off CB & PB's long weekend trip at Niagara on the Lake :) [more to come! :D]

As part of PBB's #monthlyanniversary surprise celebrations, we joined up a group of friends at Niagara on the Lake to try out the highly rated restaurant - Treadwell's Farm to Table Cuisine.

Had an amazing time here because of the excellent service and really fresh foods (veggies winning over meat/seafood!).

This place was definitely a great choice as part of our long weekend road trip :D

DRINKS:

Chardonnay
("Cuvee Dix Neuvieme", Pearl Morissette 2011)

Great pairing with the main dishes that we've ordered.

PAN SEARED EAST COAST SCALLOPS (5/5)

(with Caramelized Cauliflower, "Pingue's" Guanciale, Caper Vinaigrette)

This was excellent. The outer layer of the scallops was crispy while the middle remains it's freshness - great start to our meal!

CRISPY SKIN NORTH ATLANTIC MACKEREL FILET (4.5/5)

(Potato and Chive Salad, Poached Free Range Egg)

I wanted to grab something on the lighter end and decided on the mackerel filet. This was very fresh! Loved it. The poached egg yolk is used as a sauce for the filet - everything was light and healthy. The veggies were so fresh (definitely a farm to table item haha) - I think it did win over the mackerel!

HOUSEMADE PASTA WITH "CUMBRAE FARMS" PORK BOLOGNESE (3/5)

(Spring Mushrooms, Lemon Gremolata)

Plus points for making this a non-fatty pasta - but I guess due to the lightness of the meal, it was lacking a bit of flavour for me. I'd prefer if they added more of a cream-base sauce for the bolognese.

DESSERTS:

Crème brûlée (3.5/5)

It was a little mushy for my liking. The top layer (sugar coating) was delicious though!

Panna Cotta (5/5)

This was one of my favourites! The panna cotta wasn't too sweet, the blueberries and raspberries (which was more on the sour-y side) worked so well with the dish. It was an excellent end to our meal - definitely satisfied :)
