The word ‘Miijidaa’ is from the Ojibway language that loosely translates to “let’s eat”. It's a celebration of our roots, foods, wine + brews; a chance to showcase cuisines that influenced our culinary landscape and to show off our northern bounty.

There are many influences in what has come to define "Canadian" cuisine starting with the First Nations, followed by the influences of the French, English, Vikings, Portuguese and more. Our menu is a modern take on our northern gastronomic history with each cuisine and tradition inspiring the tapestry of our culinary landscape that we hope to celebrate on our menu.

    Food was just alright. Nothing exceptional. I found the carrots in beef cheeks main, and the Brussel sprouts in the app overly sweet. Not balanced. Far too sweet. Sweetness, acidity, and umami flavours need to Be more balanced.

    It was VERY cold in the restaurant and I had to wear my jacekt or else I would have froze! I may not be able to go back until the summer when I can eat outside!

    Hi Paula, Due to the extreme cold the past few days, we had an issue with our heating system today which meant that it had trouble holding temperature. Apologies for that not being properly communicated with you by our service staff. Repairs were made early this afternoon and our heat is back up and running at it's correct capacity. It's nice and warm once again. Katie Shewen General Manager

    The menu has a wide and interesting selection of local foods, and a wine selection. The server was good humored and attentive. An added bonus is that you can get to the Book Shelf bookstore from within the restaurant.
