Grand Bend

Sunset-strip eating on Lake Huron

Grand Bend lives for Lake Huron's sunsets, its beachfront strip filling each summer with patios, comfort kitchens, and Mediterranean rooms before the crowds thin for the Pinery's off-season quiet. A classic Ontario beach town, fed accordingly.

8.8

Olio Bayfield is an intimate Bayfield Main Street restaurant built around seasonal Italian-Mediterranean cooking, courtyard and yurt dining, and a current menu that moves from Bayfield Maple Pizza to Bouillabaisse, Halibut Risotto, Fried Burrata, and Prosciutto Pear Pizza. Phone-first hospitality and scratch preparation shape the visit.

Cabana Pool + Lounge by Colonial Hotel

8.6
Bar & Grill · Main Street / Ontario St. North

Cabana Pool + Lounge turns the Colonial Hotel’s Main Street address into a summer pool club where lunch can stretch toward sunset: private cabanas, cocktails, live DJs, and a full comfort-food menu rather than a token snack list. The best route through it is light-to-rich—Watermelon Feta Salad first, a Mushroom Swiss Burger or Buffalo Chicken Sandwich next, then a poolside pause—because the place finds its identity in the overlap between a restaurant and a day by the water.
