Terra Cotta Inn

What a wonderful place to have dinner. They have a dinning room upstairs and a pub downstairs. We had the lamb covered with pistachios with veggies as well as the Greek salad. The salad had a very tasty dressing and the lamb was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth with flavours of fresh rosemary and pistachio.
The owner was very friendly and accommodating. He has a beautiful «backyard» as he so called it!
Amazing place!

I’ve only eaten at the pub (basement). This is a cozy little gem along the Credit river. My wife and I have been struggling to find decent family friendly restaurants in the Georgetown area after moving from Toronto. This is one of the best restaurants.

Absolutely lovely! If you have an important event coming up, I highly recommend it — the photo shoot will be superb ;) Also — be sure to try the steak (if you’re not a vegetarian, of course)

How is this classified as an Italian pub??? No way! This is a great ‘international’ and classy restaurant that sits along the credit river… Seriously the meal plus this absolutely stunning setting are so worth it! To me, it’s one of those special occasion restaurants!

Our friends swear by this place, they have been there numerous times over the years.
No disappointment. The pace is relaxed, with good and efficient, but not overbearing service. The food was superb and not very expensive to boot.
Highly recommended for one and all. We saw families with children and all seemed to have a good time.
You should probably make a reservation or call ahead, they often cater to weddings and other large parties, we were told.

food and service completely satisfactory;
how it is though, that a golf course will keep you off with out a collared t-​shirt, or if wearing cargo shorts, but a middle-​aged man wearing a muscle shirt and camoflage cargo shorts was admitted entrance to this restaurant is beyond me
restaurants need to take responsibility for managing their premises

I first went to Terra Cotta Inn after a rigorous 4 hour hike at Terra Cotta conservation nearby. Maybe it was because I was so hungry after my first real hike in Ontario. Maybe it was the feeling that I had earned the right to eat as many calories as I wanted. Or maybe Terra Cotta Inn is just that awesome.
There is a formal dining room upstairs, a patio outdoors and a casual pub-​like room downstairs. Each has their own menu. The first two times, I went to the pub. After a hike, you want a cool, basement atmosphere with little fanfare, cool air conditioning and a laidback but efficient server. A tiny bar with a nautical theme I think, at the corner, tables around the room, the specials written on chalkboards hanging on the wall. There’s a speakeasy vibe with the basement windows that stream sunlight in with overpowering the room.
The food here is consistently good, and the offerings are actually a step above your typical pubfare. There are the usual burgers and nachos of course, but there is also calf liver, curried shrimp and vegetables, a variety of pasta dishes (particularly sea food options). What I like best is the atmosphere. Every time we’ve been here, the server was quick to take our orders, relatively quick to bring our food, and timed it just right to come and ask us if we needed anything else. But there was no one rushing us, no feeling of impatience — it feels like the sort of pub that your neighbourhood (in a small town) would just drop by, and sit in. Which fits the flavour of Terra Cotta as a whole, this village in Halton Hills.
Terra Cotta Inn is about 35 minutes north of Mississauga, and yet it feels like a world away. There’s a sleepy quality in the surroundings, as though the people who live here are from an era long ago. Who go to bed at 8 pm. Wake up at dawn. All know each other. It’s not true of course, but it makes me feel like I’m down the street from Anne of Green Gables. Maybe that’s why I keep coming back.
(I blogged about this place on my regular blog
and just got to update Unilocal today. In between that posting, I’ve been back a number of times over this past summer — and yes, it’s still consistently good!)
