💛 Connected Legacy Tip: The Vandy is brand new, opening in June 2026 inside the newly revived Caravan Court Hotel, a modern reimagining of the original 1960s motor hotel. If you’re just visiting the restaurant, parking and The Vandy’s entrance are around back. Check out the hotel while you’re there, including Elora Sky Club(Open: Thu–Sat from 5p until close) its beautiful rooftop bar. Reservations are recommended on major event weekends.
