My wife and I love this place. Set in an old firehall, decorated with the personal antiques of the owners’ grandmother. Cosy patio with wooden boarding and kale and flowers planted around the top rail. And the food is DELICIOUS! Nice mix of flavourful options on the brunch menu, we have not yet made it for dinner. Big selection of wine and local beer/cider. Super friendly service (thanks, Corinna).

We stopped in for a bite on the road from Tobermory and Toronto thinking it was a quaint little restaurant. Didn’t expect the excellent brunch menu and excellent quality of the fare. I had the roasted beet salad with blue cheese and granola which was excellent. I coveted my coworker’s strawberry French toast which was that day’s special. To top it off, the side of maple bacon exceeded even the great main courses. Service was outstanding. I saved it in my Google Maps to make sure I don’t drive by on my next trip through the area.

Discovered this gem while driving down Highway 10 in Markdale. We stopped in for a lunch and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is in the old fire station which gives it a historic feel. I had the French onion soup and the beet salad, both were excellent. My husband had the onion soup as well and the beef tartare. He thoroughly enjoyed them both as well. It is a small menu but offers a good variety and food is sourced from local farms and dairies. Combination of foods on the menu are unique and inventive. There are a variety of beers and wines offered as well. This is a restaurant that I would go out of my way to visit again.

We love Marilynne. When they opened during the pandemic we would pop in for takeout, and when the dining room opened we were so glad to have a local spot to come in for dinner and brunch on the weekend (and on Mondays!). The food is delicious and the ingredients are thoughtfully sourced from as many local producers as possible. Our regular dinner menu favourites include the pork chop, steak frites, Caesar salad, and the chocolate mousse for dessert. Brunch favourites -- hands down the County eggs Benedict and the fried chicken sandwich. Look out for Chef Brandon's specials -- they are always worthwhile. They've got a great selection of local beers and lovely wines as well. We like sitting at the bar and chatting with the staff through dinner. I can't recommend this spot enough for a great evening meal with friends.

I'll start by saying the food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant itself is beautiful! Unfortunately, I would approach with caution if you have a dietary restriction. Many items are available gluten free, so I said I was gluten free and asked what makes the fried chicken sandwich gluten free. Our waitress, who happened to be a co-owner, explained that the chicken was coated in a gluten free flour mix and could be served on a gluten free bun. I said great, I'll have that!The bun ended up being so delicious that at the end of the meal, after eating the whole thing, we asked the owner to check if it was really gluten free and if it was, where it was from. She came back and apologized, saying there had been a mistake and I had been served a normal bun. It was disappointing, to say the least. I'm lucky to not have celiacs/an extreme reaction to gluten, but it still made for an unpleasant experience the next day.They were very apologetic and I understand that accidents happen. I would probably go back, but I would be extra cautious and confirm that what I'm being served is gluten free.

Pleasantly surprised with our dinner at Marilynne. I had the fried chicken sandwich, and my partner had the mushroom toast. Both were fantastic. Great selection of local beers which was appreciated. Ambiance and service were great. Will definitely be back.

We visited Marilynne after a hike on the Bruce Trail and it was by far one of the top 3 brunches we’ve ever had. We ordered the eggs benny (but subbed the pulled pork for maple bacon), the breakfast skillet, and the strawberry french toast special. Everything was SO flavourful and well-seasoned. I absolutely loved the pickled fennel on top of my breakfast skillet, which added a nice punch of vinegar to cut the richness of the dish. The French toast was perfectly custardy and we heard another woman exclaim it was the best French toast she’s ever had in her life, and we’d have to agree. We grabbed an iced latte to go for our long drive home, and it was also delicious. Service was attentive and very friendly, and the eclectic décor in the restaurant made for a very cozy vibe. We will definitely be back!!

The food is great and servers are very friendly. We live in the area and are regulars. We asked for a lemon in our water. The lemon slice was the size of a Loonie.THEY CHARGED US $2 EXTRA FOR THE 2 Small LEMON SLICES!!!! Not making this up! This is no joke. Really happened. Will not return. How cheap can you get. Our poor waitress was so embarrassed when we questioned it. She said, ‘we were told to charge for lemon in water’.
