Savour the Flavours of The County: The Drake Devonshire Joins Countylicious 2025

Countylicious is more than a culinary event — it’s a love letter to Prince Edward County. It’s about place, community, and the makers who turn good ingredients into great experiences. From October 23rd to November 16th, restaurants across The County will serve menus inspired by the season, inviting diners to taste new adventures and revisit old favourites.

At Drake Devonshire, food isn’t just served — it tells a tale. For this year’s Countylicious, Executive Chef Amanda Ray has composed a menu that captures autumn in The County, plate by plate. Think of it as edible storytelling, with each dish a chapter full of colour, flavour, and a wink of warmth.

Our lunch and dinner menus are a playful parade of the season: velvety pumpkin soup that hugs you from the inside, a beet salad bursting with autumn jewel tones, and a tahini salmon bowl that’s bold. Classics get a cheeky twist — fried chicken burger? Yes, please. Piri piri chicken? Bring on the heat. Seared trout? Done to perfection. And just when you think it’s over, a curated cheese board arrives — the perfect encore of artisanal cheeses paired with preserves that taste like The County itself.

Each plate speaks — of what grows here and the hands that make it possible. Countylicious is your invitation to taste those stories, and there’s no better stage for the show than Drake Devonshire.

Countylicious is about celebrating everything that makes Prince Edward County special — the season, the produce, and the people who bring it to life,” says Executive Chef Amanda Ray. “For this menu, I wanted to capture the comfort of autumn with dishes that tell a story. Each plate is inspired by the harvest, crafted with care, and designed to connect diners to the heart of The County.

So, pull up a chair. Take part in the story. Make Drake Devonshire your Countylicious destination this season. Reserve your table now — your tastebuds will thank you.
