Friday Night Dinners on Hiatus

Hey Folks,

With the imminent arrival of summer, we find that we're extremely busy with catering and just keeping up with the demands of a busy cafe. So, we're suspending Friday night dinners for the time being.

However, the cafe is always available in the evenings for private licensed catered events. So, please give us a call and we can tailor a menu to your party's needs. The Bank is a beautiful spot to hold a meeting, a festive gathering or a plain old night of fun. We can accomodate parties between 10 and 25 people.

See you at The Bank.

New Years Eve at the Bank cafe

 

We are now accepting reservations for our first-ever New Year's Eve Banquet at the bank Cafe.  

We'll be serving a sumptuous Mediterranean-inspired five-course meal,  featuring the finest local ingredients.

Seating from 7:30 p.m. with serving of the first course around 8:00.

After dinner,  we invite our guests to stay and enjoy the ambience and some holiday cheer or,  if you prefer,  you can be home and cozy in front of a raging fire (or the Yule log cable station) in time to toast the new year.   The café offers a small but good selection of wines and beers,  focused on strong local vintages and brews. If you prefer,  you can bring your own wine for a small corkage fee.

Menu  

A Selection of Scrumptious Hors d'Ouevres to Whet the Appetite,

Roasted Pumpkin & Ricotta Cannelloni  in a Light Sage Butter Sauce,  

Frisée & Arugula Salad with Grapefruit-CitrusVinaigrette and Pan-Fried Lake Nipissing Pickerel,  

Involtini with Organic & Wild Mushroom Ragu (thinly-sliced stuffed Angus Beef braised in a light red-wine and tomato sauce),  served with roasted herbed potatoes & carmelized vegetables,  

Blue Cheese & Pear Salad with Toasted Black Walnuts,  

Grand-Marnier Chocolate Mousse & Strawberry Champagne Cake,  

Coffee or Tea

 

The cost will be $60 per person,  excluding beverages 

 A vegetarian option (eggplant involtini) is available. Just let us know in advance. And,  we'll try to accommodate as many food intolerances as we can.

For our out of town friends,  we've checked and there's still lots of room available in Creemore's lovely Bed & Breakfast establishments. So,  why not save the aggravation of the big city on New Year's Eve and have an intimate small-town experience instead.

If you'd like to stay in town,  we can help with arrangements.

Seating is limited,  so reserve early to guarantee we have room for you. 705 520-2233 

Or leave us a message on the Bite Me! Line (705 730-0515).

If you can't join us New Year's Eve,  drop by New Year's day for brunch. (Surely, everyone will have tired of  Boxing Day sales by then.

 

In any event, have a happy New Year and enjoy the end of this year and this holiday season.

 

Cheers
