The History of the Golden Apple
The original structure, when people relied on horse and buggy, and boats to fetch their groceries and to visit favorite fishing and vacation spots in the Thousand Islands, was erected in circa 1830.
It is believed that the limestone used to construct the house were cut from one of the quarries which supplied the builders of the Rideau Canal. The St. Lawrence river links Kingston, whish was Canada's first capital, to Ottawa which is our present capital City.

After being closed for more than a year for repairs after a fire, the venerable eatery is open again, serving the kind of food for which it was once renowned.
More than a Salad Dressing...

Each month I seek links to the Islands which highlight the area's history and activities, to emphasize why the Islands should be known for much "more than a salad dressing"! This month's link relates to Ardele's Golden Apple Restaurant, in Gananoque, which was damaged by fire in the early hours of Christmas Day - see link under "References".

I LOVED my reuben sandwich so much I'll be returning for dinner in the near future to try the steak gorgonzola.
