Port Dalhousie is home to the world's greatest frozen yogurt, bars that allow underage drinking and a fabulous new restaurant called Treadwell. We had the most delicious meal a few nights ago. J enjoyed a smoked trout appetizer that was complete with cavier and a quail's egg and I had a savoury carmelized onion tart topped with pecans. Our main courses were equally delicious...beef short rib and pickeral. Both included chanterelle mushrooms on the side. For dessert, it was a Canadian-focused cheese plate and a fresh raspberry tart.
The most important part of Treadwell was the farm to cuisine theory. Most, if not all, of the menu items were designed around a local element. For example, the pickeral was from Lake Erie, the raspberries were from Whitty Farms and the beef was from Cumbrae Farms.
The wine list is compiled of mostly Niagara wines. It's an extensive and awesome list. We talked to the Sommelier/Owner and decided to order wine by the glass so that we could properly complement the meal. Wines at our table included a Thirteenth Street Brut, Charles Baker @ Stratus Reisling, 2005 Daniel Lenko Merlot, Mountain Road Winery Chardonnay and two very special glass of Daniel Lenko Late Harvest Vidal.
If you're ever in the area, be sure to make a reservation. You'll be guarenteed a wonderful meal with fantastic wines and view of the water.
