Situated in the heart of Ontario’s most historical town, Coniagas #4 Shaft, site #13 attracts tourists from around the world. This magnificent structure currently houses a small restaurant that seats approximately 26 people at one time.
The atmosphere is down to earth but the aroma from the homemade cooking is heavenly. We serve Organic Fair Trade coffee and it is the best coffee around. I hand pick a lot of berries from the local area which I make into jams and jellies, teas and juices or desserts. I also pick other wild edibles such as fiddle heads, asparagus, cattails and dandelions to use in my recipes.
The bannock is a favorite for locals as well as visitors. It is a very simple “Indian fry bread” that goes well with anything on the menu. Tossed in a cinnamon sugar, it also makes a great dessert.

Welcome to one of the most historic buildings in Canada! Cobalt is the site of the richest silver deposit in the WORLD!!

The Coniagas #4 Shaft in this building is 350 feet deep. This mine shaft produced silver from 1914 - 1917.
In 1927 after the mine shut down, Anthony Giachino took over the property and added the building that this Restaurant is in. He opened a grocery store and butcher shop. He used the cool air from the mine shaft to keep his meat cold.
