If you are looking for the right place to celebrate and eat a fantastic meal...take the drive to West Petpeswick. The combination of flavours was both surprising and very satisfying.

Once again, we had a fabulous dining experience at Lupin. Locally sourced, excellent food, lovingly, prepared by Chef Kim. We chose the five course chefs menu, and every course was a delight. Highly recommended.

Why did it take me so long to try this place?! What a hidden gem! We had the Chef’s Tasting menu and everything was well-timed, beautifully plated, and absolutely delicious! I love that so many of the ingredients are locally sourced, supporting small businesses in the region. I will definitely be back!

We were disappointed this time when given the menu as we had convinced a couple friends to join us based on the menu which was shown as starting Oct 20 on their web site. Two of our party of four had planned on having duck and another raviolli. After muc h going over the menu presented, our friends finally chose the halibut and we did the tasters menu. Our friends while liking the flavor, found the halibut a bit overcooked and neither my wife nor I again while liking some of the flavors would have the items from that menu again. We will try the restaurent again but not before we confirm what is shown on the web site menu is indeed what will be served
