Without a doubt the most unique restaurant, why I worked there for 3.5 yrs. A little pricier, but unforgettable fondue dining experience with bizarre 70's 'styling' & 20 types of meat. Book ahead.

The rec centre has local iceskating &hockey and curling games, but more importantly is the Fenland Loop walking trail directly opposite. A flat, short and pretty 30min walk to wander with a sandwich.
