I don't understand why the reviews are so low: we had catfish tacos, pull pork sandwiches, piña coladas and strawberry daiquiris - everything was terrific! Fast and friendly service - very clean and fair prices. We will go back soon!
Awesome! Nice pub with a big patio, friendly service and fresh food. Come in off the highway into old kemptville, this place is definitely worth it.

Lunch at Salamander's. My daughter and I discovered this lovely restaurant on a drive through 'old' Kemptville. Although there was construction on the roads around the restaurant, it was open and welcoming. Parking is a little tricky because of the construction - but not impossible. It was too hot to sit outside on the patio - but we both would have loved to sit out and enjoy the beautiful river view.
Service was quick and efficient. Our food was prompt and well prepared. We decided to order the Steak Salad with peppercorn chevre as well as the Mediterranean Antipasto platter with the plan to share. The platter was big enough for four people to enjoy as an appetizer - but we managed to make a great dent in it. The tzatziki and hummus were both home made and yummy! There was also enough meat on the platter - salami, prosciutto and even liver pate which was quite tasty.
The steak on our salad came medium rare as ordered but we both found the peppercorn chevre too 'peppery' for the plate. Of course, we should have realized from the title that it would be strong! The home made corn bread was light yet with crispy edges - yummy. We looked at the dessert menu just to see what we were missing - and if we had had room - there were several we could have chosen! Next time. The cost for two of us, including non-alcoholic drinks was $50.00 (including 20% tip)
Would have liked to have seen a luncheon menu with smaller plates and smaller prices!
Would we return: YES!
Food reminisant of restaurants like Kelsey's, Casey's... almost pub style with a touch if family restaurant but a definite step up from either of them. One thing that surprised the h*ll out of me was that they permit smoking on the patio. I know there's no bylaw against it in Kempville but considering the known hazards of second hand smoke you have to be joking that they permitted it.
Great selection. Really enjoyed the last time I went; great sandwich and salad and it's affordable!
Nice view on the patio. Friendly server. Large portions. We enjoyed the apple and onion brie appetizer. Fresh ipa draft/ and a peach Bellini (date night without the kids). The Caesar salad was tasty. I wished the server told me how large the portion was… I ordered chicken crepes and my wife ordered chicken stir fry. Will be eating leftovers for a week! Thank you for a great night.
Great little hidden spot ! In heart of "downtown" Kemptville. We had Joel as our waiter and he was entertaining, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We had the nachos , steak and chèvre salad which was sooo good (I switched to a balsamic vinegrette) and the Artichoke on baguette. Everything tasted good and had a nice presentation.
The priced were very reasonable and portions large ! Great place to come in the summer for their patio season with views! Would recommend
Today was our second visit to Salamanders for lunch as the first time the menu had so many dishes we wanted to try we just had to go back . Shane is an amazing server with a great sense of humour , prompt and courteous. My first time at Salamenders I had the chicken/fried avacado wrap .. delicious 😋 and today tried the chèvre & steak salad 🤤 see pic attached. Both times the portions are so large I take half my plate home for dinner. Highly recommend. I know we’ll be back again.
The patio will be wonderful on a sunny day. On a day with heavy rain, it is still marvelous inside. Great food and friendly service. Clean and well furnished. Will definitely return on another day. Fortunate to have found it.
Amazing experience at Salamader’s this evening. We came looking to fill our tummies since we’ve been out of power for over 24 hours. They took us in, let us power our phones and served one of the tastiest meals I’ve had in a while. The service was exceptional, I would recommend Salamander’s a million times!
We will definitely be back!!!
