Welcome to Saffron in Saugeen Shores!

We have been serving international cuisine right here in Port Elgin since 2012! Everything is homemade, including our bread and desserts. Just below you will find information on reservations and take-out!

Today’s Specials & Reservation Information

RESERVATION PROTOCOL

The best way to make a reservation is to call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30PM on Wednesdays to Saturdays (and you can call after 8:30AM on Sundays).  If you wish to pre-order your food when you make your reservation, go for it!  Walk-ins will only be accepted if it's a slow night for take-out, (take-out is about 80% of our business, thus reservations are strongly recommended!) :)

 TAKE-OUT PROTOCOL

   For our dinner service, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30 Wednesdays to Saturdays to place your take-out order in advance (after 8:30 on Sundays for breakfast). The hours for pick-up are in 5 minute increments between 4:00-7:45 for dinner (and 9:00-12:45 on Sunday).  The regular menu is all available, plus daily features listed below.

Friday July 3rd (4:00-8:00)

‍ ‍For a take-out order or reservation, call 519-832-9121 any time after 1:30! The regular menu is available, plus the features below! We still have plenty of openings - give us a call!

Please note that summer is officially here - this means that before we open at 4:00 we often have a multitude of take-out orders *already placed, as well as dine-in reservations. For July and August, call as early as possible to get your take-out order in to avoid disappointment! Jenn will try her best to update the website here with each night’s status, but sometimes the phone rings so many times that it’s hard to stay caught up! :)

Served with a DELICIOUS warm side of couscous cooked with chick peas, roasted carrots, zucchini & bell peppers, olive oil, fresh basil and parsley. OH MY! SO GOOD.

Dessert:

Greek Custard Kataifi! $10

JENN HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THIS HEAVENLY DESSERT- we sold so much of it last time that we simply had to bring it back! Kataifi is a finely shredded phyllo pastry that has a lovely crunch! It is laid in a sheet pan and baked with butter. It is then soaked in a homemade honey syrup (made with lemon zest and cinnamon), and topped with homemade vanilla custard, homemade whipped cream and toasted almonds! Two people can share one. Ugggghhhh - sooo good!

(Contains eggs, dairy, gluten and almonds).
