If you ever happen to go skiing at Mohawk Mountain, CT, then the Wandering Moose Café is a nice little café option for a pleasant meal.
Located right by the covered bridge in West Cornwall, it has a view of the beautiful river and picturesque mountains in the background. In the warmer months, sitting outside must be a feast for the eyes.
The food here is rather average. Nothing outstanding but the service is very friendly and the place has soul. Its seems to be frequented by locals and the menu offers better food choices than most other places in this area ( choice is rather limited).
We tried their brunch where the highlights of our meal were the pancakes, corn beef hash and a really delicious homemade carrot cake.
So do stop off for a meal, a cup of tea or just a spot of dessert. The Wandering Moose Café promises to soothe the “wandering” soul.
Here is some of what we ate:
CORN BEEF HASH AND EGGS
BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH BLUEBERRIES AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS
EGG SANDWICH WITH BACON
EGGS BENEDICT
CARROT CAKE
BUCK’S STRAWBERRY AND MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE-CREAM
