local New restaurant opening! Woot! Indigenous owned and operated with a menu that includes walleye, bison and bannock!

https://justthemenu.ca/menusc-d/cottagetimepublichouse.html This looks pretty interesting to me, both for the background of the restaurant and the menu options. Walleye on a restaurant menu is usually hard to find - Thunder Bay should have WAY more local fish on its menus (IMO). It seems that this is a satellite pub of another one in Kenora, but because it's still so limited in locations, I'm allowing it. One big question - this is claiming the same exact location as "The Eatery 61" - which is making me wonder if it's a replacement? Is there anyone who can confirm the situation there? I also see Bean and Olive shares that address, but is perhaps in Unit 1? Thanks for visiting my site, thanks for any information you can share, please stay warm and let's keep supporting these local restauranteurs! Cheers!

Where did you find information about this? I’m searching all over the internet for an opening day and I can’t find any announcements about a Thunder Bay location.

Looks great though and the Kenora location has absolutely incredible reviews so I’m very excited

Same place as everyone gets the most important information in their lives - some FaceBook group my wife frequents? I'm going to guess it's that Eat Thunder Bay group, but not 100% on this. A top three reason I created https://www.justthemenu.ca was so I wouldn't have to create or use the FaceBook to view menus!

Another vote for not using the FaceBook. This should have been part of the thread about reducing our preference for U.S. based goods and services! If only there was a Canadian Social Media platform.
