FIRST OFF WE’D LIKE TO SAY THAT NO ONE HAS ASKED US TO POST ANY OF THESE AWESOME LOCAL BUSINESSES; THEY ARE ALL OUR PERSONAL FAVES!

WE BELIEVE BUYING LOCAL AND SUPPORTING LOCAL WHEN YOU CAN IS IMPORTANT. WHEN YOU SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES IT DIRECTLY IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE LIVE. WE ADMIRE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT,
GREAT FOOD, DRINKS & ATMOSPHERE! SO HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE AMAZING PLACES WITHIN THE BAY OF QUINTE & PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY REGION.

NOT ONLY IS THE FOOD INCREDIBLY TASTY EVERY SINGLE TIME, THE SERVICE IS ALWAYS PLEASANT & VERY TIMELY. THEY ALSO OFFER TAKE-OUT (JIM’S PIZZERIA) AND THEY HAVE ONLINE ORDERING – SO HUGE WIN THERE! BUT HONESTLY ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS ASIDE THE KOTSOVOS FAMILY HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNERS SINCE THEY OPENED UP AND YOU WILL FIND TOM & CINDY IN THERE EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT, GREETING CUSTOMERS & GIVING BEST WISHES TABLE-SIDE. THEY LOVE PEOPLE & SERVE UP SOME DELICIOUS FOOD IN A SUPER WARM AND TRENDY SPACE AND IT SHOWS & THAT’S WHY THEY’RE ON OUR LIST!

WITH SEASONAL MENUS AND ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS AND CHICKEN & WAFFLES (BRUNCH) AROUND, THIS PERFECTLY COHESIVE ECLECTIC DESIGN IS SURE TO IMPRESS YOU. PS THEY ALSO HAVE PHENOMENAL COCKTAILS.

IT’S SIMPLE, THE FOOD TASTES AS SCRUMPTIOUS AS IT LOOKS! PERFECT FOR A SPECIAL DATE NIGHT (OR A RANDOM TUESDAY) WITH ITS ROMANTIC INTERIOR & LUSH GARDENS (SUMMER).

THEY SAY IT ON THEIR WEBSITE “FRESH MEETS FUN” IS LITERALLY THE PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF THIS PLACE.
YUMMY FOOD WITH A FUN ATMOSPHERE. TRY TO NOT BE HAPPY WHEN YOU WALK IN THE DOOR, JUST TRY.

NESTLED IN THE TREES OFF MAIN STREET IN PICTON IS THIS SOPHISTICATED & CONTEMPORARY (WITH AN EDGE) LOCAL FIND. IT’S CUISINE IS DECADENT, AND WITH ITS LIMITED SEATING YOU ARE SURE TO HAVE THE QUIET DINING EXPERIENCE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR.

SO MANY YUMMY HAND CRAFTED BEVERAGE OPTIONS WITH A LIMITED, BUT OH SO DELICIOUS MENU & IT’S RIGHT DOWNTOWN BELLEVILLE!. NOT TO MENTION THEIR SUPER FUN SPACE.

IN OUR OPINION THE BEST VIEW IN THE COUNTY, AND WITH COLD APPLE CIDER IN YOUR HAND ON A WARM SUMMER DAY WE’RE REALLY NOT SURE WHAT MORE YOU COULD ASK FOR. WITH OVER 7 CIDERS TO CHOOSE FROM AND WOOD FIRE PIZZAS, A LAMB BURGER (YUM) AND MORE, THIS PLACE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU.

THIS KID FRIENDLY JOINT HAS SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES! WITH YARD GAMES, CHICKEN ROASTING PITS (THEY SMELL SO GOOD IN THE SUMMER), REGULAR FIRE PITS, A SEPARATE TASTING PAVILION & A BARN THAT WAS PRIMARILY BUILT FROM LOCALLY REUSED ITEMS, PARSON’S IS ALWAYS ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO GO.

HAND CRAFTED COCKTAILS, HOUSE MADE BITTERS AND CUTE FUZZY CHICKENS RUNNING AROUND, THAT’S KINSIP – WELL, IN OUR NUTSHELL. WE LOVE THAT THEY GIVE YOU THEIR COCKTAIL RECIPES SO YOU CAN MAKE THEM JUST AS GOOD – OR CLOSE TO – AT HOME!

MORE HAND-CRAFTED COCKTAILS FROM THIS LITTLE JOINT. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME DELICIOUS COFFEE & THE BEST LAVENDER LONDON FOG WE’VE EVER HAD! SIDE NOTE, IF YOU’RE HUNGRY THEY HAVE SNACKS & FOOD!

WE LOVE THAT THEY LIKE TO SUPPORT LOCAL FARMS AND THEIR BEER IS TOP NOTCH! IN ADDITION THEY HAVE ASUPER COOL SPACE WITH GREAT BRANDING!

THEY JUST DO AWESOME STUFF. THEY WERE THE FIRST WINERY IN ONTARIO TO MAKE PET-NAT WINES, THINK UNFILTERED CHAMPAGNE, THEY HAVE THE BEST SAUVIGNON BLANC (WELL, IN OUR OPINION) AND YOU CAN ONLY GET IT AT THEIR VINEYARD! PLUS, YOU WILL OFTEN (LIKE ALWAYS) FIND MIKE, THE OWNER, THERE. HE’S A WINE GURU AND HE MAKES HIS OWN VERMOUTH FROM OVER 30 LOCALLY FORAGED BOTANICALS!

IF YOU LOVE ROSE THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! THEIR PIXIE ROSE IS SIMPLY MMMMM…

ON TOP OF THEIR DELICIOUS COFFEE IS THEIR LOVE FOR HEALTHY & NUTRITIOUS FOOD! THAT WINNING COMBO PAIRED WITH THE FACT THEY CAN BUILD YOU A CUSTOM BIKE, OR SERVICE YOUR EXISTING, IS PRETTY AWESOME.

WE LOVE THIS FAMILY RUN ESTABLISHMENT BECAUSE IT CREATES FAMILY TRADITIONS & MEMORIES FOR EVERY SEASON, WHETHER IT BE PUMPKIN PICKING, FRUIT PICKING OR WAGON RIDES. THEY ALSO HAVE AMAZING PRODUCE AND TAKE HOME MEALS AND SOME SERIOUSLY TASTY HOMEMADE TREATS! ALSO, IF YOU’RE INTO HARD CIDER THEY HAVE SOME OF THAT COURTESY OF THEIR DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND’S BUSINESS @APPLEFALLSCIDER. SO YOU CAN ENJOY A CIDER & SNACKS WHILE YOUR KIDS PLAY.
