My friend who was visiting from the US asked me if we could get some Canadian delicacies. And yes, the first place I thought of was the Maid's cottage. How can you go wrong with those yummy delightful butter tarts with so much buttery goodness?! They come in a variety of flavours but my favourite are the pecan butter tarts. They are gooey and crunchy at the same time!!
The restaurant itself is a cute little place located on the historic Main street of Newmarket. They also serve up some delicious breakfast food. The seating is very limited though. The staff here are very friendly and just wonderful to talk to.
Their butter tarts are famous in the York region and have been featured many a times. So go early or visit late at the risk of them being sold out for the day. Definitely a must visit if you are in town!
