My husband and I decided to check out the new management and menu at the Norsemen. We had dined several times in the past under the former management and were always pleased. Upon arrival we noticed that the rustic muskokan decor was unchanged thankfully. However, our meal selection did not live up to our expectations especially considering the high prices.... More

This is one of the best places we have ever eaten. !! We do a lot of travelling and have been telling our friends about this place. First of all this place is not for everyone! I actually found this place on trip advisor. I had rented a condo at the nearby resort and was looking for a place to... More

Had been to this restaurant years ago and came back partly for sentimental reasons. Unfortunately, not a great experience this time. After waiting a few minutes wile the fellow behind the bar worked on organizing menus, he finally took us to a table. The place was 1/3 full on this holiday weekend which should have been our first clue of... More

We had heard from a few people about this restaurant before we got to Muskoka and I am so glad we did. We actually ate there twice while we were there. I cannot stress enough how many businesses sorely underestimate the importance of excellent customer service and great food. From the minute we were welcomed at the door of the... More

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our night out at the Norsemen...we were warmly welcomed and seated on the porch where we indulged in boar stuffed mushrooms, scallops, pickerel and prime rib as our entrees, and creme brulee and s'mores mousse for dessert. A few things that really highlighted our experience ...watching the sunset, and an attention to detail that... More

As we didn't get any. We arrived around 7 p.m. and were seated by whom we assumed to be the owner. The restaurant was maybe a quarter full. We looked over the menu and placed our order shortly thereafter. We ordered a caesar salad and a duck french onion soup as our starters. We were given bread and our drinks,... More

My partner and I visited the norsmen for a quiet romantic evening out, or that was our plan. We arrived at the restaurant a little early for our reservation and were greated by an older gentlemen. He was pleasent, however he did not give us menus or water when he sat us. Shortly after a shorter blonde woman greated us... More

My husband and I love food and are always on the watch for exquisite cuisine. This was our second visit to the Norseman Restaurant and we were not disappointed. Clearly the chef, Harry is the best Muskoka has to offer. We often like to share entries and order a few appetizers as we find we cannot eat as much as... More

This was our second visit to the Norsemen restaurant. We were drawn back by the quality of the food served by chef Harvey Cross. This is well above the generally woeful standards which are typical of this otherwise wonderful region. This time round my wife and I enjoyed the Elk special, which comprised two generously thick-cut slices of Elk fillet... More
