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.
Thursday June 4th (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! The wait won’t be more than 15-20 minutes :)
We are now taking reservations for dine-in and take-out for Father’s Day on Sunday June 21! We are doing our breakfast menu from 9:00-12:30. Even if you don’t know what you want yet, you can call to pre-book a time spot for take-out and call back with the order itself that morning!
A NOTE ON UPCOMING HOLIDAYS: We are taking our (short) spring break later than usual this year! We have a wedding to attend, we want to be able to enjoy the nice weather, and our walk-in fridge is getting a major fix (it has caused ENDLESS headaches in the last year, and we’re thankful to have an official diagnosis). Our last day open is this Saturday June 6th, and we re-open on Wednesday June 17th! When we return, our patio fence will likewise be fully fixed (it collapsed in the winter from the weight of the snow), and thus the patio will be open for the season on June 17th! Thanks for understanding :)
Soup:
Corn Chowder! $8 (There will be a different one for Friday & Saturday!)
This is always a hit, so we bring it back often - with onions, garlic, bell peppers, corn, cumin, jalapenos (but it's not too spicy!) potatoes, butter, cream and some cilantro! Amazing - it is bursting with love, and is one of Jenn's favourites.
(Vegetarian. Contains dairy. Gluten free!)
Appetizer:
Return of the Homemade Empanada! TWO Kinds are on Offer!:
Bean & Cheese ($13) or Ground Beef & Cheese ($14)
A flaky, buttery homemade dough stuffed with a filling of either cheddar and spiced mashed pinto beans (onions, garlic, cumin, lime, ancho & chipotle powder, oregano, etc.) OR seasoned ground beef (cooked with onions, corn, green peppers, kidney beans, garlic, ancho & chipotle powder, allspice, oregano, paprika, cumin, etc.) that is baked until brown! It's huge, very filling and can easily be split between two or even three people!
(Vegetarian with the bean version. Contains gluten and dairy [and corn in the beef version]).
Drinks:
Chai $4.00
Our famous hot milky caffeinated sweet tea made with cardamom and ginger. :)
Coffee! $3.50
We have partnered with Rabbit Dash/Dizzy Bird here in town to serve you a cup of their delicious "Saffron Blend" - a medium-dark roast with nutty, syrupy hazelnut notes, and a bright aftertaste!
Cold Drinks:
Ginger Ale, A&W Root Beer, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite $3
Fuze Iced Tea $3
Perrier or Lemon & Blood Orange San Pellegrino $3.50
Main:
Return of the Hungarian Chicken Paprikash! $26
We bring this back often since we get many requests for it (Dev's Eastern European cooking is ridiculously good!) Chicken breast, bell peppers, onions, garlic, paprika, dill, caraway, tomato paste, sour cream and chicken stock cooked in this glorious stew. It is served over homemade spatezle (little boiled flour dumplings made with a hint of nutmeg and black pepper) and topped with a dollop of sour cream. Packed full of flavour, and very filling!
(Contains dairy and gluten).
Desserts:
1 of 2: Hungarian Triple Chocolate Cake $10
A homemade chocolate sponge cake layered with a whipped chocolate ganache and topped with regular chocolate ganache. Basically, it’s three kinds of chocolate in one cake, and that can never be a bad thing!
(Contains eggs, gluten and dairy).
2 of 2: Return of the Apple Pie Roti! $11
Big enough for 2-4 to share! Homemade dough that is rolled out and fried (like a Beaver Tail!), and dipped in a bit of cinnamon sugar. It is topped with an apple pie filling (apples, brown sugar, walnuts, etc.) and whipped cream cheese. Yum!
(Contains gluten, dairy and walnuts. Egg free).
