Cajun House The

Gordon Gidora and Crystal Orlecky opened The Cajun House in 1991. When they first started out, they noticed that locals were initially wary of the “spicy” cuisine. “Sure, there are some spicy dishes,” says Gordon, the chef and co-owner. “But that’s not all of the menu items here. Cajun and Creole cuisine is flavourful – not always spicy. We cater to many different palates and diets, especially with the intensity of the spice.”

Considering the food allergies that crop up when serving a diverse population, Gordon and Crystal make sure to put a lot of care and attention into the food they serve. “We have never had a complaint about an allergic reaction from our food,” Gordon informs. “Because we make everything fresh, we can closely control what goes into each dish.”
