Sarnia

Blue-collar comfort under the Bluewater Bridge

Sarnia eats like the working border city it is — diners, Greek grills, Korean and Nepalese newcomers, and old-school delis along the St. Clair, the Bluewater Bridge framing the view. Honest, unpretentious, and portioned for an appetite earned on shift.
