Now that the warm weather is here, there's no better place to be than out on the water. If you happen to get a little hungry while you're out cruising the waves, here are some great waterfront restaurants you can dock & dine at in our area.
Downtown Barrie
Kicking things off with the obvious. Downtown Barrie has a transient marina with space for up to 50 boats ( the docking fee is $2.10 per foot per night or $10.50 per foot per week). From there you're just steps away from an incredible and varied selection of restaurants.
Henry's (Sans Souci)
Located on Frying Pan Island, Henry's is a Georgian Bay tradition! Henry's was once an iconic fish & chips restaurant. New owners took over in 2018 and revamped the menu, keeping some of the original Henry's classics but also introducing many new items.
Boathouse Eatery (Midland)
You'll find the Boathouse Eatery located at the foot of King Street right on Midland's town dock. The casual fine dining restaurant has an extensive (and delicious!!) menu and absolutely stunning views of Georgian Bay. What's not to like??
The Waubic (Severn Falls)
The Waubic was originally built on the Severn River in 1913, but was abandoned for many years before the current owners took over in 2002. The restaurant is only accessible by water with 20 spots available at their dock. The food is awesome and the portions are huge. Try the fish and chips - you won't regret it!
Dock of the Bay (Gravenhurst)
It doesn't get much more gorgeous than the lakeside setting at Dock of the Bay in Gravenhurst. You just can't beat those Lake Muskoka sunsets! Steak and seafood are the focus of the menu, and they boast an extensive wine list. Sounds like a perfect place to spend a summer evening.
Lakeside Restaurant (Bala)
One of the few places in Bala where you can actually sit and look out at Bala Bay, Lakeside's patio is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The restaurant recently renovated, giving their dining room a more refined but relaxing vibe. They've also revamped their menu ... definitely worth a visit!
Turtle Jack's (Port Carling)
Stunning views? Check. Delicious food? Check. Cold drinks? Yep! Turtle Jack's in Port Carling has everything you want in a perfect lakeside restaurant. We recommend splitting a pitcher of sangria and the 3 cheese dip to start.
Harbour House Georgian Bay Eatery (Honey Harbour)
The Harbour House in Honey Harbour is definitely worth a trip if you are looking for stunning views of Georgian Bay and delicious food. They've also introduced a new picnic lunch program – place your order the day before then pickup a delicious lunch to enjoy on your boat or wherever you want to dock and eat!
On The Docks Pub (Hunstville)
On The Docks in Hunstville is quite literally right on the dock - the town dock that is. It's the perfect place for some classic pub fare after a day on the water.
