Our goal at Fall River Restaurant stems from our commitment to healthy, flavorful food, and to environmentally-conscious decision making in our day-to-day lives.  We are also deeply committed to supporting our community. We strive to buy as many local ingredients as possible, and hope, one day, to be completely self-sufficient.
One of the benefits of buying local and organic food is its freshness. This translates to flavour and to high-quality meals on your plate.  As important as what you’ll find in our food, is what you won’t find -- growth hormones, antibiotic-injected meats, and pesticide-ridden fruits and vegetables.  This approach to food and farming reduces the use of fossil fuels and lessens the risk of chemical fertilizers washing into our rivers.
In an era of multinational corporations and fast food, it seems as though nearly everything we do has a negative effect on our environment. But by choosing to dine in our restaurant, you can feel better knowing that you have helped a community support itself and Mother Nature breath a little easier. Think Global … Eat Local!

Cheff JJ Stewart likes the connection to the Perth area community that buying local gives Fiddleheads. However, his main reason for using local produce and protein is of course the taste and freshness. Customers agree - online reviews say things like "truly delicious" and "best lunch ever!".
Fiddleheads menu offers a variety of meat, poultry, fish and vegetarian entrees, plus pizza, pasta, wraps and burgers. There are 2 lunch specials and 2 dinner specials that change daily and feature in-season produce from several area farms. The kitchen staff welcome freshly-harvested vegetables and herbs - including spring fiddleheads - as a way to express their creativity.
Lanark County maple syrup adds a sweet note where you'd expect it on French toast (Sunday brunch with jazz), or cheesecake, but also on sweet potato fries and in delicate glazes for meat dishes. Beef, lamb, emu, chicken and turkey are all obtained from Eastern Ontario farms, and soybean tempeh from Lanark Highlands.
Diners enjoy the ambience of the mill's old stone walls adorned with artwork by talented locals, or the indoor courtyard with fountain, or the summer patio overlooking Stewart Park and the Tay River. Come and treat yourself to old-fashioned hospitality and locally inspired flavour!

Using local ingredients in today's cuisine is extremely important to local economies and the environment. JR's is pleased to be using sustainable local produce, preserves and Fair Trade items to enrich your dining experience. JR's is a proud supporter of our local economy, using Lanark County food sources to offer fresher, healthier and chemical free dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. We offer vegetarian, gluten free and traditional Valley fare. Our feature menus change daily to take advantage of our locally available fresh products.
The focus on fresh local produce is a natural fit with JR's where we always seek to ensure high quality and healthy choices. The best inspiration for creating menus comes from the Seasonal local products available in Lanark County.
After 25 years in business, Jeff Robertson is excited about the changes taking place at JR's which will ensure that JR's continues to exceed customers' expectations...and be the place to be in Almonte.
