Apsley, is a small town in Ontario. Near the town are several cottaging lakes with thousands of three season and year round cottages and local residents. It’s a commonly held belief at least in Ontario, that a town is just a collection of buildings and businesses until it has a Chinese Food restaurant.
If that’s true then drive by...you will drive right by the Apsley Inn, a sixties-era motel with a restaurant on one end that advertises Homemade Juicy Burgers.
But you’re gonna park ‘cause you know the secret. You’ve already called and asked them for a dinner for say, four.
There is no menu. There was no arguing about who wanted what, and you didn’t have to choose between this but order that because your wife likes it. You have faith that the choice has been made for you and you will have a lovely dinner.
And it’s Indian food. Not Chinese.
And it IS lovely. Samosas, Roti, Naan, butter chicken, pecora, lentils, (always a vegetarian dish), fragrant rice. Dessert, too.
And the flavours are authentic, even, and balanced. Mild but the heat is gladly added to order.
The owner and his wife are courteous and prompt.
It’s a local secret. Order and pickup. Nice.
I picked up dinner for four tonight and as I was chatting with the proprietor I heard a snap-crunch near the grill. I took a peek around and saw the chef cut into a sizzlingly crisp Reuben.
How many soggy Reubens have you had to scarf down? Me too.
So a home made juicy burger becomes possible. You can eat-in, too.
Just south of the Ontario Town of Apsley.
