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

Roksy’s Cafe gives a Muskoka Wharf breakfast or lunch stop a distinctly Polish centre: pierogies, cabbage rolls, and paczki sit beside French toast, eggs, sandwiches, coffee, and pastries in an approachable cafe format. The strongest first visit follows that Eastern European thread, with familiar breakfast choices available for diners who want a gentler entry point.

Well Fed is a Gravenhurst sandwich shop built for fresh lunch, take-home meals, and catering, now shaped by Bella Goudie and chef Phillip Jakel after their 2024 handoff. Start with Reuben on Rye, Chicken Caesar Wrap, Carrot Ginger Soup, or the freezer case.

Shelby’s Chipwagon is Gravenhurst’s bright-pink, family-run seasonal chip truck, rooted on Sharpe Street since Sherry Martin and Doug Matchett bought it in 1998. Poutine leads the order, Steak on a Bun is the durable second choice, and picnic tables keep the experience direct.

The strongest read is a downtown Muskoka dining room with serious menu depth and warm family hospitality.

Old 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.

Relish is a daytime Gravenhurst cafe and market where salads, sandwiches, deli-case choices, smoothies and coffee share the counter with prepared take-home food and market goods.

A 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.
