This is one of the hidden gems of Ottawa valley. The owners were very friendly, the place has nice quiet atmosphere. And the... food was amazing. The schnitzel was the best I had in a long time. We will definitely come again. As an advice, if you areplanning to go, call ahead. This is a small family-owned place, not a busy franchise. Read more

One of my favorite restaurants. Fine Czech cuisine with local and seasonal ingredients prepared like art by the nicest couple... who love to cook. Funky antique decor. The owners are semi-retired and only open on demand and generally only on weekends. Reservations are required. Just leave a message and they will call back. Bring cash, they do not accept cards. There is an ATMat the bank in downtown Pakenham. Budget ~$75/ person. Food is excellent. We had Weiner Schnitzel (of course), Goulash, Smokedpork chop for entree's. Started with a fresh house salad - she sent her husband out to their garden for fresh veggies. There's ashort list of good wines and Czech beer. Dessert are seasonal years as well. For us, we go back every year or 2. Alwaysdependable and excellent. If you're in the Pakenham area, it's worth a visit. Read more

This is a lovely, quirky little Czech restaurant run more as a hobby than a business. Reservations are required: if they don't... know they have someone coming, they likely won't be open. Note that they accept cash only, so leave your prestige rewardsprogram credit card at home. It's run with a very personal touch, which may be disconcerting to folks used to the more"professional" style of big city fine restaurants. The beverage list is relatively short, but I'm a fan of Czech beer (amongothers) and so didn't suffer for it. There are a few wines, but the whole list fits on a small sheet. "Hobby," in this case,does not mean that anything is amateurish about the food, though. Appetizers, mains, and desserts were excellent, with fresh andgood-quality ingredients prepared with skill and presented with understated elegance. The soup of the day with wild mushroomsand potatoes seemed to involve fungi that came from a local field or forest. Smoked salmon was tasty and accompanied with allthe right bits. The meat for the mains was well-trimmed and flavorful. Sides were varied and nicely cooked. The tiramisu wasdelectable, with echoes of palacinka-based desserts I've had at other Eastern European restaurants. Prices are not cheap, butwhen all was said and done, I think we did quite well. We didn't leave hungry by any means. We'll be back! Read more

Excellent food from a limited menu allowing for special attention to the items available. Peaceful dining with the right amount... of attention provided. A very enjoyable evening all round! Read more

My wife?s family was in town, and we wanted to bring them somewhere special. Mission accomplished ! The appetizers and main... courses were all to die for, and the service was extremely warm and friendly :) We will without a doubt be returning to theCopper Kettle ! Read more

The Copper Kettle gave us a warm, homey experience of Czech-influenced comfort food, some of which was truly excellent. We... heartily recommend the escargot, the basa was simple but nice and the red cabbage and sauerkraut welcome accompaniments to anydish. Other dishes were something of an adventure but on the whole we will be back for the most pleasant, quiet place to havedinner in Pakenham. Read more
