Being at the cottage is about more than just the location. It’s a state of mind. It’s a feeling of sanctuary or even escape. It’s about good food, good drinks and good company. It’s where we’re focused on the present and not on the worries of the day. t
When you can’t be at the cottage, it’s good to know you can find that feeling somewhere else. “You can still enjoy the feeling of the cottage in the GTA, Niagara, London, Hamilton, or even our first location opening out of province in West Kelowna, B.C.,” says Morgan Baronet of Turtle Jack’s. And, of course, there’s a location in the heart of cottage country, in Port Carling.
Turtle Jack’s takes the best of cottage life and serves it up in the form of premium, high-quality dishes. “Our food is fresh and never frozen. We offer a variety of dishes that range from comforting classics to more refined flavours – from chicken wings to Prime Angus ribeye steaks.”
Besides good food, the cottage experience also includes a relaxing atmosphere paired with friendly and inviting service. “Our servers go through intensive training in preparation for a level of exceptional service. We provide cottage hospitality that makes you feel like you’re among family,” says Morgan.
“We have staff that have been with us for 30 years. I think that’s a positive sign. If people like their jobs enough to stay for that long, it’s reflective of our family-oriented philosophy, both as a workplace and as a place to come and leave the outside world behind.”
Delicious food and excellent service are crucial to a restaurant’s success, but Turtle Jack’s elevates quality to a higher level. “We have very high standards when it comes to the selection of our food. Our Atlantic salmon is sustainably sourced, our pork is raised without antibiotics or hormones, and our chicken selection puts quality, food safety, and sustainability first.”
“We also do our best to take special diets into consideration. We offer many gluten-free and vegetarian dishes.”
With 20 locations available, Turtle Jack’s offers a splash of the cottage lifestyle when you’re missing it the most.
