Port Dover

Lake Erie perch and a legendary pie counter

Port Dover's Lake Erie beach runs on fried perch, a renowned patisserie, and the Friday-the-13th biker rallies that swamp its main street. South-coast Ontario at its most easygoing — sand, fish, and butter tarts.

The Curry House is a full-service Indian restaurant on John Street in Port Dover, built around a broad menu of tandoor cooking, curries, biryanis, paneer dishes, Indo-Chinese starters, and fresh breads.
