Step back in time to the 20th century and enjoy the warm ambiance and fine dining at Mrs. Mitchell’s Restaurant. The restaurant was once actually ‘Mulmur Township School Section 2’ and was built in 1889. The school was open for 79 years and closed in 1968.

To create the restaurant, the schoolhouse was renovated with care to preserve its heritage and is lovingly named after the school’s last and longest-serving teacher (Mrs. Mitchell of course). Nestled in the beautiful country hamlet of Violet Hill Mrs. Mitchell’s is a two-time winner and frequent nominee of the Best Restaurant award from Headwaters Tourism. Be it lunch, brunch, afternoon tea or dinner you can enjoy fine dining in a historic, rustic setting. Menus will vary to take advantage of fresh, seasonal local ingredients. The delicious house salad dressing and 17century spoonbread are signature touches. Whatever your menu choice you can count on fine food and expert service in a casual upscale atmosphere.

If you are planning a wedding or other special events the beautiful gardens are perfect for picture taking. Call Mrs. Mitchell’s and the lovely owner Heidi will personally assist you to make all your plans a reality. If you are looking for a wonderful gift or just something unique to brighten your home visit Mrs. Mitchell’s boutique gift shop. It’s just steps away from the restaurant and has the charming name of “Granny Taught Us How’. There you will find beautiful treasures that will fit any budget.
