Bridgenorth Delicatessen
The Bridgenorth Delicatessen is a local favourite for lunch, and a great spot to pick up a sweet for later. Their irreverent take on deli classics will have you taking pictures for Instagram before you dive in.
The Deli teams up with Kawartha Wholesale Bakery for local buns worthy of their creations. The bakery also supplies the Deli with donuts and fritters.
This local tag-team is a winning combination. Speaking of winning combinations and creative takes on deli classics, how about “The Schnitzel AF”—a made-to-order schnitzel with bacon and old cheddar served on an apple fritter! Or the Mac Attack—a pork cutlet stuffed with house-made mac’n’cheese, topped with bacon (hot peppers optional, but definitely recommended!) all piled on a fresh bun. Get extra napkins. While you’re there, pick up a Steak and Kidney pie for dinner (but act fast, they’re not exactly a best-kept secret).

Chemong Lodge
Chemong Lodge is well established as the culinary gem of the area. The lodge was built in 1895 and with a beautiful view of Chemong Lake.
A favourite of local cottagers and travellers alike, the Lodge offers an elevated take on country cooking. Making use of the region’s fertile farming, their menu is shaped in part by seasonal local produce and meats, and by the creativity and cultivated craft of their chefs.
Chemong Lodge is also home to Dr. J’s BBQ, a slow-smoked BBQ joint with a flagship restaurant in Peterborough. Aside from their own kitchen, and Dr. J’s BBQ, Chemong Lodge also offers an extensive wine list and a menu of inspired handcrafted cocktails. Well worth a visit.

( vote)Silver Stone Restaurant
This take-out restaurant is a go-to for locals and cottagers in the area. The Silver Stone is known for its large portions of freshly made Canadian Chinese cuisine at affordable prices. It also has a reputation for friendly staff. At times it gets busy, but they move fast, and it means you’re not getting some dish that’s been sitting under a heat-lamp for hours. Worth the wait if there is one.
