52 Front St. N., Campbellford, Ontario.
This restaurant's Facebook page describes their food as "pub fair", but it is really so much more than that.
I and two other people ate their recently. I had grilled pesto chicken on a bun, another person had taco poutine and the third person had their lunch combo of a small bowl of soup, a small salad and a small sandwich.
I know I and at least one of the other people enjoyed their food quite a lot.
The staff were friendly and efficient.
The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting.
There is one minor complaint, though. 52 North has a garage door type thing they leave open on nice days to provide the ambience from the street. This is a good idea, but I would caution them to put up a screen or something over the door as having it open lets in flies and bees.
By the way, for dessert, try the mud fight cake.

THE GOURMET RESTAURANT
10511 Hwy. 7, Carleton Place, Ontario.
While on a bus trip recently I ate at this restaurant and found it a pleasant experience.
The staff were friendly, patient and helpful.
The food was good and the prices were reasonable. Most of the people I was traveling with took advantage of the seniors menu, but I had the regular fish and chips. You got two huge pieces of fish, lots of fries and a significant quantity of actual salad on the side which came with a dressing that was delicious. It only cost 18 dollars with tax. Everyone else was satisfied with their food, too.

Sucks Don Cherry's "Grapeline" isn't returning.
I enjoyed "Just a Minute" on BBC Radio Four Monday. A show where the contestants are the panel. Cool.
Also enjoyed "Paul Sinha's General Knowledge" on Radio Four Tuesday. A unique program indeed.
