Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Manchester

Another wonderful meal at 80 Thoreau! I had the celery root soup & pumpkin risotto, and my husband had the steak frites. Outstanding service from Casey with a perfect wine selection guided by Andrew.

Enjoyable evening. Would definitely go again. Food and service were great.

Had a delightful vegan tasting menu. Enjoyed it tremendously.

Awesome experience. Nick is a fantastic chef and prepared amazing “takes” on Canadian Classics”, the theme for the evening. Everything came out at a perfect pace with Nick explaining what was before us on our plates. Extra care was taken so everyone had what they needed. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the evening was, except that by the third course we weee already planning to return for another evening of fine food and good times!

Local Eatery has been and continues to be a well kept secret. Not sure why because it’s far and away one of the best restaurants in the Lakes Region. Everything is prepared and presented with expert care. There is a focus on local ingredients. The menu is always interesting and deviates in a positive way from standard fare. As an example, I ordered a Five Spice Duck Breast and my wife had a Shrimp Gnocchi dish. Both were delicious. Our craft cocktail and mocktail were perfect and our server was friendly and pretty. Five stars! Looking forward to going back.
