It's been a good few weeks or so since my last blog post and I'm not sorry but that's because I actually took some time off for a slight digital detox from both my day job and blogging. But I will say that it's no surprise that during this time that my foodie partner-in-crime and I ventured to Prince Edward County (once again of course) for a day trip for lunch to visit Picton's newest dining experience - The Marans Dinebar.
Originally from Hamilton, Ontario, Chef Guerin Sykes previously helped revamp the kitchens at Waupoos Winery before taking the leap and opening up his own venture. Featuring Middle Eastern with Asian inspired cuisine, this new spot by Chef Guerin and his wife Jessica puts the emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and all things County including their drink menu. Located right between the Regent Theatre and Picton Library on Main Street in Picton, you wouldn't believe it, but it doesn't have a full commercial kitchen! With only a few induction burners and other equipment, Chef Guerin creates flavourful dishes with such freshness and efficiency, might I add. As comes with small spaces, also comes creative thinking, being wise in how you cook and operate, which means the menu rotates and keeps you guessing every few months.
Scroll down to have a peek at some of the dishes we enjoyed:
DEVILED EGGS
Vibrant, savoury pickled eggs, whipped filling with salted caviar.
MUSHROOM GNOCCHI
Puffy gnocchi in a savoury, creamy sauce with mushrooms and caramelized onions.
LEMON CURD CRÈME BRULÉE
This one is pretty self-explanatory.
The decor was right up my alley of farmhouse chic with cute accents all around.
Chef Guerin and his wife Jessica!
Where: 222 Picton Main, St Picton, Ontario
