Explorer's Cafe - Midland

My family had dinner here, my wife had the seafood fetishist, was pretty good, I had the Argentina strip loin, was good, but I like it Chicago style, but they don't have the grill for it, my daughter didn't care for the trout, too bland. the Flatbread was overcooked and too much pesto. my son in law had the filet with the cheese sauce, quite good, would rather had the caramelized onions on the steak not in the mashed potatoes

Fantastic dinner in a hidden gem on King Street. The Explorers Cafe was recommended to us by a friend - we otherwise would not have seen it. The restaurant is not big so I would recommend reservations. The food is absolutely delicious. My husband ordered their soup of the day (potato with bacon and apple) as a starter and I continued to munch on the chips and dips that were brought to the table. Wow. We were now hooked on this place. The main course portions were substantial and the Stuff Me Tender that I ordered was fabulous! My love for this restaurant did not end there... the creme brûlée with a twist (chai tea) capped off the evening beautifully. Our server was lovely.. gracious, attentive and informative. She added to our enjoyment of the entire evening. We highly recommend this quaint, comfortable restaurant with a diverse menu and interesting story.

Setting out to replicate food from around the world, In Midland! Worth the visit. Slightly obscure location back from the street.

Uitgebreide kaart, goede service en lekker eten. zit wel verstopt in midland, dus het beste is om het aan een lokaal iemand te vragen of op te zoeken.

Having grown up and lived in the Midland area for the first 21 years of my life and been back every year since I can't believe I've never been here before! Our daughter (and son and husband) is a recently diagnosed celiac so I decided to do my research. This restaurant makes everything fresh and totally knows what gluten free is!The best part (gluten free aside) was that my dad could order minnows/smelts that truly brought back childhood memories. The duck, beef tenderloin and over the top pork tenderloin were divine. Icing on the cake was they have Osoyoos Larose red wine from BC - delicious!We will be back every year we visit and bring more people!PS. My family who lives in the area and have been here before said the menu was "odd" and they didn't like anything on it. I think the pork tenderloin and two steak options have given everyone an option love that they offer smelts, mussels and duck!
