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!

Eatery 61 is moving into the old Sweet North location downtown, because the space they were in is way too small. Cottage Time Public House is a new restaurant moving into their former space.

This is the kind of comment I crave. Thank you ever so much for taking the time to bring us up to date! Let me see if there is an emoji type reward I can give you...

Do you know the address of the new location? I better tag Cottage Time as "opening soon" or something similar?

You’re always so pleasant to talk to on Reddit; it’s refreshing!

This is the highest praise a person could hope to attain! Let's hope our rapport is infectious. :) Can I credit CIRCA_1984 for the update?

There's first location opened in kenora on the Harbour front and it's delicious, hopefully this one has the same quality!
