Visitor Reviews

  • The Brigadoon Restaurant

    This delightful restaurant is set in rural Ontario in the quaint village of Oxford Mills near the nation's capital. It is an old inn which caters to those with a taste of Old England. The service is fantastic and the menu a true collection of English savoury dishes. Highly recommended. One of my favourites.Andrew, Ottawa - January 2013
