Gravenhurst

Muskoka Surf and Turf
9.4Muskoka Surf and Turf is Alyssa Paugh's Gravenhurst seafood-and-steak room, grown from a 2020 retail setup into a downtown full-service restaurant.

Frosty Pint Pub
9.1Frosty Pint Pub is a Gravenhurst neighbourhood pub with a split pub-and-dining-room setup, 10 taps, sports-screen energy, and comfort-food anchors led by wings, Fish & Chips, Poutine, Frosty's Signature Caesar, and a double-bacon burger.
Cliffside at Muskoka Bay Resort
8.9Cliffside at Muskoka Bay Resort is a public resort dining room in Gravenhurst with golf-course views, current steak-and-seafood anchors, daily breakfast-to-dinner service, and a source-backed weekend Prime Rib Dinner.
Essence of Spice

Old Mill Family Restaurant
8.8Old Mill Family Restaurant is a family-owned Gravenhurst breakfast-and-lunch diner built around Eggs Benedict, pancakes, omelettes, burgers, and British-style Fish & Chips. It works best as a practical comfort-food stop: familiar plates, phone-or-walk-in service, and a clean, friendly room.
Pizza One Muskoka
8.8Family-operated Gravenhurst pizzeria built around stone-baked pies, halal-friendly toppings, value-minded ordering, delivery, and a wider menu than the usual small-town pizza counter.
Dock Of The Bay Steak & Seafood Grille

The Boathouse Restaurant
8.0A Lake Muskoka restaurant inside Taboo Muskoka where the current menu is shaped by a McEwan Group partnership, the room works from breakfast through dinner, weekly drink specials and live music give the resort dining room a repeat-visit rhythm, and the strongest plan is to build around pasta, pizza, the lake view, and a reservation when patio timing matters.
