All I can say is that I have never written a food review in my life until now but I had to because the food here is incredible!!! We just had the Asian salad extravaganza and the chicken pad Thai and they were to die for. The Asian salad might be one of the best things I have eaten in my life!!! Port Elgin is so lucky to have such a fabulous place to eat! We will eat here again and again :)

i have just eaten one of the best butter chicken dishes i have ever had. we enjoyed delicious food friendly service and very fast aswell. we cant wait to return and try everything else on the menu.
Saffron has the best Sunday brunch in town, heck maybe even the best I've had so far in Ontario! Always order the special menu of the day, they never disappoint! And of course the Bollywood benedict is a classic 👌 The portion is also generous and well worth the price. They also have good selection of vegetarian menu so it's definitely the place to go if you're a vegetarian!
We enjoyed Friday dinner at Saffron. One of the owners Jen suggested the curried Mung bean soup and peanut stew. Both were excellent choices. Good portions, good service, great tasting food. The bread is baked in house and is terrific.
We came back to Port Elgin for a quiet and safe New Years celebration during the pandemic.
We ordered take out
Lentil falafel with sour cream dip
Chickpea salad
Beef brisket burrito and for dessert
Germán Chocolate Cake
Huge portions, wonderful recipes, lots of choices , great staff, service and price.
Don’t miss this unique restaurant!
Delicious and great experience. Sat outside in the back, very pleasant. Diverse international offerings, well prepared. The banana bread french toast was amazing. Great staff. Friendly and knowledgeable. 2 of us shared 3 entrees to try them.
Incredibly friendly and enthusiastic owner and staff. Meals are made from scratch and an eclectic and as they say exotic menu. Breakfast was the most unique I’ve ever had and it was also delicious. Highly recommend :)
Outstanding! Full of flavour and very satisfying balance of heat and spice, great vibe on the back patio, and delightful, upbeat owner. We took a chance driving by on our vacation and are very glad we did.
They have a very eclectic menu, with what the owner called “favourites from different parts of the world”, but don’t let that fool you into thinking they’re just lousy approximations of the original. They seem to take lots of pride in making things from scratch and look like they love what they do.
We had Thai green curry chicken, butter chicken with rice and naan, and Greek custard pie for desert (phyllo pastry with custard). All well portioned and all fantastic.
We’ll definitely be back next time we’re around Port Elgin.
We ate the gumbo special and Moroccan chicken, with the specials as well for dessert and appetizer. I think Moroccan chicken will be my new go to meal!! It was absolutely phenomenal. The spices were incredible. Portions were very generous - my partner and I each had dinner the next day. Staff was courteous and so kind. I can't say enough good things about Saffron.
Hands down one of the best food experiences I have ever had in Canada.
The owner was really knowledgeable and helped us order four different dishes (two to have over there and two to go). They all were really amazing, and every single bite took me back to my grandma’s where I had the most delicious home-made food in my entire life.
Customer service, food variety, portions and atmosphere over there were also great.
We went for a family walk to Saffron tonight. Took the short cut but the field was wet, slippery and muddy all together. 30 minutes after we made it to our destination, and we were served a delicious and satisfying meal! We had been coming to this restaurant for years. However, this is my first time to have chimichanga, which by the way is now my new Saffron favourite! It should be in the regular menu I think! It was delectable! I wish I ordered another one to bring home! We had Indian curry soup and bean sprout as a starter. It's a bit spicy, but our little ones enjoyed it too! And then our chicken chimichanga arrived with our order of butter chicken with extra naan bread! Our girls go crazy over this bread so we knew better to order extra. They are deliciously warm and crispy on the sides. Next we had our order of peanut stew (this is the regular menu) but this is the first time we've ordered this. Definitely the mildest of all the dish we've had here so far and I guess the least of my favourite. If you are new to eating Mexican spicy food, this would be the good place to start.
Lastly, we tried their dates and coconut cream (?) cake. Very dense and sweet! I wouldn't want to eat a big slice of this. It's very rich. We enjoyed it and our kiddos love it too! Heads up to those allergic to nuts, this won't be for you since one of the main ingredients is walnuts.
For the price, and the quality and quantity of food you get, this is I think the best restaurant in town.
