The
recently opened Movenpick restaurant at Hidden Valley Holiday
Inn in Huntsville is the first Movenpick restaurant in a hotel
setting in North America. Well known the world over for their
superb, mainly French cuisine, Movenpick restaurants have
become increasingly popular in North America. Hidden Valley in
Muskoka is pleased to have it as part of their new
multi-million dollar expansion.
Hidden Valley’s Bistretto-style
Movenpick boasts three separate areas - the restaurant itself,
serving the typical Parisian bistro fare and Movenpick
"signature" dishes, the cozy Auberge bar and lounge
area, which includes a fireplace, and also serves the full
Bistretto menu, and La Pergola - an indoor/outdoor courtyard
in a Mediterranean style with a patio and new wrap around deck
overlooking Peninsula lake.
Combined
with Muskoka’s natural setting, Movenpick’s superb menu
makes for a dining experience second to none.
Some
examples of their delicious fare include Steak et frites
(broiled sirloin glazed with Cafe de Paris butter, served with
"allumette" fries) and Poulet et frites - juicy and
tender marinated chicken thighs glazed with herb butter.
Chicken (fresh, air-chilled, not frozen chicken) is offered
throughout the menu in a variety of forms, including Le poulet
Aix-en-Provene -- chicken breast sauteed with onions, tomates, garlic and
fresh herbs. Though primarily French the cuisine of Bistretto
offers a number of Italian dishes and doesn’t overlook
Movenpick's Swiss heritage.
Their
rich desserts attest to this, with such Movenpick classics as
Homemade Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce, Swiss Chocolate
Truffle Cake, Crepes Parisiennes and Belgian Waffles. Or go
all out and feast on their Chocolate Eruption Tower
Cheesecake. Movenpick
also features 20 different flavours of their own
internationally renowned Super Premium Ice Creams.
If you are into breakfast
Movenpick is a must, with both an a la carte menu and an
extensive buffet. Try the Rosti potatoes, one of their
Movenpick signature dishes, along with bacon, ham, sausage,
cheese and fresh herbs. All are featured at the breakfast egg
station, where the chef prepares double yolk eggs or a custom
omelet to your order.
Breakfast becomes an all
day affair at Movenpick, with fresh-baked muffins and
pastries, juices and premium coffees available throughout the
day in the hotel lobby.
Their special kids menu
includes Movenpick’s own Big Bird's Chicken Basket, Pasta
Mountain and the Superhero Burger. Other kid’s items include
downsized breakfast dishes, and special desserts.
Since opening the
restaurant has become a big draw, not only with the guests but
also with the local community. Not too surprising, considering
the quality and variety of food offered, the affordable menu
-- almost every item
on the main menu is under $15 and most are under $10 – and
the beautiful Muskoka setting. For more information go to www.hiddenvalleyresort.net/dining.asp
