Dining with history and ambience
Enjoy a beverage by the wood burning fireplace in the north terrace at the Cambridge Mill. This five storey building was the former Dickson Mill – a 19th century limestone gristmill built in 1844 – and is perched on the edge of the beautiful Grand River (enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views!) The menu at the Cambridge Mill offers weekly features and dinners from pasta and risotto to a range of proteins, including trout, braised short rib and lamb. In season, you might even be able to spot a pair of herons on the Grand from the Mill’s riverside terrace! In fact, they’ve inspired “The Heron Hour,” a happy hour (that’s actually two herons long) that takes place every Wednesday to Friday from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. featuring a two-course meal with a wine-pairing option. Tuesday night at the Cambridge Mill features live music with half-price wines by the glass in the north terrace.
