Welcome!

Welcome to Salamanders, our exciting three-in-one waterfront destination in downtown Kemptville, Ontario. We boast three separate dining areas: a family side with a quiet, elegant ambiance; a gathering side for those looking for a lighter atmosphere in which to get together for family or business events; and a gorgeous outdoor patio for those who wish to enjoy the view of the picturesque downtown Harbourfront three seasons of the year. Those visiting the downtown by light watercraft can dock at the Municipal Dock located in front of Salamanders.

Accomplished chef and caterer Liane Cormier is the originator, manager and resident genius of Salamanders of Kemptville. Born and raised right here Kemptville, she trained at Algonquin College in Ottawa and apprenticed in the Nation’s Capital. Liane is the author of Cooking for Small Groups, a collection of time and tested family and party recipe favourites.

At Salamanders, we believe everyone can afford to eat good food prepared with care. We use the highest quality ingredients, make everything in-house and specialize in casual, home-cooked cuisine. We are a fusion Cajun restaurant and love to refer to our cuisine as The 5 Cs: Cajun, Creole and Low Country Cooking with a Canadian Twist.
