Need to Know … from Vacay.ca Deputy Editor Rod Charles: “It's always a pleasure to eat at Langdon Hall, which consistently delivers outstanding food. When you visit, be sure and take a tour of the garden, where you can see with your own eyes how this restaurant has taken the field-to-table movement to heart.”
Fine-dining aficionado Howard Levitt says: “Jason Bangerter has elevated the already high quality of this restaurant's offerings to mingle scintillating flavours with classical French presentation. The closest to Michelin-star food and service, after Victor Barry's Splendido, that this country has to offer.”
Terroir Symposium Director Arlene Stein says: “Terroir-driven cuisine that tells a story of the place and property, and does so with exceptional service.”
Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance Executive Director Rebecca LeHeup says: “Always an exceptional experience. Under chef Bangerter's helm the focus on fresh, local and sustainable is evident. Service and ambience take top marks.”
