Maple's Classic Favorites

Classic, comforting dishes, and I just can't seem to get enough of it at Maple. 

From starters to mains and dessert, Maple offers a full range of classic and comforting dishes. Here's a quick rundown on some of Maple's popular dishes...

Start with some freshly baked maple-glazed rolls and a dab of butter. Make that lots of butter. Butter on freshly-baked warm rolls, always a winner. And the maple glaze just adds the finishing touch.

New England Clam Chowder (P 250), filled with clams, potatoes and bacon and served with a mini baguette. Rich, creamy and hearty, a good starter before the mains.

Chilean Mussels (P 375), cooked in premium dark beer and saffron sauce and served with crunchy crostini. The subtle briny notes of the fresh and plump Chilean mussels blend well with the dark beer's malty flavor. And don't forget to dunk the bread in the flavorful broth...

Maple House Salad (P 375), a fresh mix of leafy greens topped with maple glazed pecans and parmesan drizzled with a sharp roasted shallot vinaigrette. The fresh, crisp greens with the tart vinaigrette is another must-try at Maple. With premium ingredients, you can expect clean and sharp flavors.

The Maple Salmon Catch (P 550), lightly seasoned fresh salmon fillet, then grilled, pan-seared or blackened to your liking, served with vegetables and orzo pasta. The lightly grilled salmon still retained its delicate flavors, and the grain-like orzo pasta absorbs even more flavors from the grilled salmon. Healthy, refreshing, yet full of flavor.

Blackened Chicken (P 450), tender chicken breast with a spicy Cajun rub, grilled and served with creamed spinach, bacon and brown rice. The richness of the Cajun seasonings enhance the chicken's subtle flavors. Bold with a flavorful punch, with an equally rich side of brown rice with bacon...perfect.

For dessert, go for one of Maple's favorites. The New York Cheesecake (P 280), a creamy and rich baked cheesecake on graham cracker crust with blueberry compote. Pair it with a cup of brewed coffee to complete a comforting meal at Maple.
