Established in 1884, Maldaner's Restaurant and Catering is one of Springfield's finest restaurants. If you have visited The Old State Capitol, Frank Lloyd Wright's Dana-Thomas House or the State Capitol, you can imagine the wonderful celebrations Maldaner's likely was a part of at the turn of the last century and to the present day. Today, under the guidance of Chef-Owner Michael Higgins, Maldaner's respects tradition while offering the best of contemporary American fine dining in our historical setting. Chef Higgins features seasonal local and regional ingredients influenced by Mediterranean composition and preparation. Heirloom vegetables, humanely raised meats and Slow Food all artistically prepared and presented.

🎃 Well, Springfield, you really shouldn’t have!

We’d like to extend a special thank you to the City of Springfield for organizing an entire Halloween parade tonight to celebrate the long-awaited return of our Salt Spring Island Mussels!

We know everyone’s excited, but a whole parade? We’re flattered!

Our mussels are officially back on the menu, served in a white w**e tomato sauce and topped with savory Spanish chorizo.

Come downtown, enjoy the festivities, and stop by Maldaner’s to see what all the celebration is about!

And seriously, Springfield, next time a simple welcome back card will do. 😉
