I was the winner of the 2025 FOAP (Friends of Algonquin Park) draw and had the chance to visit The Mad Musher Restaurant — and it was an absolutely phenomenal experience. Steve, the owner, is truly amazing and goes above and beyond for his customers. You can tell he genuinely cares about everyone who walks through the door. The entire staff was just as incredible — friendly, welcoming, and attentive. If you’re looking for a great home-cooked meal, this is 100% the place to go. Everything we had was fresh, made to order, and tasted amazing. You definitely won’t be disappointed. The atmosphere is very warm and homey — something you just don’t get everywhere. It really made the whole experience even better. The desserts are a must-try! I highly recommend the chocolate lava cake, the butter tart and the Apple Melt — all of which were absolutely delicious and easily my favourites. It’s also very affordable and only about 20 minutes from Lake of Two Rivers Campground — and honestly, much better value than eating at the campground restaurant. It’s definitely worth the short drive. Thank you to Steve and all the staff for such a great experience, and thank you for being part of the FOAP prize pack. We truly appreciated everything and had an amazing time. We will definitely be back the next time we’re camping in the area!
