Port Hope, Ontario
- What a gift to have stumbled upon your little piece of paradise. It
could not have been a more perfect retreat from hectic city life. Food
for the soul was plentiful while hiking through the Almaguin
Highlands, sitting by the lakes and reclining in your Muskoka chairs
watching the sun set. Food for the stomach - well, that was just as
memorable. I have never enjoyed breakfast as much in my life - for the
interesting and generous company as much as the divine freshly made
meals. Thank you for a restorative and rejuvenating four days. I will
be back.

Meals to nourish the body and delight the palate
Cooking is a passion and a joy at Fern Glen Inn, as you´ll discover for yourself. Meals are prepared from scratch with the best, freshest ingredients available, locally sourced where possible. The style is classic comfort food, unpretentious but with some inspired, contemporary touches.
Local Ingredients
We proudly showcase local and regional ingredients whenever possible. In season we make use of wild raspberries, blueberries and blackberries from our property; as well as rhubarb, asparagus and herbs from our garden. For much of the year, our eggs come from our own little flock of chickens! Many of the breakfast meats we serve are made with locally raised beef and pork. The maple syrup for your pancakes or waffles is tapped, boiled and bottled right here in Muskoka/Almaguin.
Breakfast
Guests gather around the antique harvest table every morning for a wholesome-yet-indulgent breakfast. You´ll start your day off with fresh fruit, home baked goods and a hot entrée that may be savoury one day and sweet the next.
Sample Savoury Breakfast »
Fruit Course: chunks of fresh pineapple, strawberries and kiwi drizzled with vanilla bean syrup
Hot entree: omelet of red peppers, mushrooms and feta served with sauteed potatoes and homemade multi-grain toast
On the sideboard: fresh-from-the-oven raspberry muffins; homemade lowfat granola; selection of cereals and yogurt
Sample Sweet Breakfast »
Fruit Course: roasted pears with pomegranate seeds and vanilla yogurt
Hot entree: oatmeal blueberry pancakes topped with mixed berry compote and toasted almonds served with thick-sliced back bacon
On the sideboard: light and flaky from-scratch cheddar scones; homemade lowfat granola; selection of cereals and yogurt
Snacks and Other Meals
There are two mini-fridges for guests to share, so feel free to bring snacks and beverages. Packed lunches, chili suppers, country dinners and fine dinners are available with advance notice.
