Murray’s Restaurant, how it takes me back! My earliest memories are intertwined with the comforting ambiance of the Lucerne Shopping Centre location. After those chilly mornings of picking up my sister from her Rob Roy ski lessons in the sixties, Murray’s was our haven. Its family-style setting, reminiscent of a cozy diner, offered the perfect respite with its heartwarming dishes.
The Lunch Pro is creating a section devoted to Murray’s Restaurants. Starting with an exclusive collection of replica items in our shop and the recipe to their much cherished Steamed Fruit Pudding with Vanilla Custard Sauce, this is not just a page of my memories; it’s a journal for you to write yours. From Montreal to Toronto to Ottawa to Sudbury, Murray’s was an institution, and I’m sure many of you have your own stories to tell. Whether it was a Sunday family lunch or a quick bite after a day of shopping, every trip to Murray’s was a story, whether about the people who joined you or, as was often the case, those who served you.
If you like to cook, you’re in luck. I’ve gathered some of Murray’s most beloved dishes for you. Who can forget the creamy Rice Custard Pudding or the Steamed Fruit? I’ve dug up and adapted their original recipes to use today’s ingredients and cooking methods. And if you prefer a visual guide, we’ll have step by step videos so you can get it just like Murray’s
