Food scene
Some of our favouites. Saffron, Southampton Thai, Roberto's, Gerry's and the Walker House.
We have been to all of the others and if they are on this list we enjoy them.
For those that want/need fast food, there is McDonald's, Wendy's, Harvey's, Subway, many chain pizza places and others just down the road in Port Elgin.
If Shahi Paneer, Caribbean banana-lime french toast, Iranian Herbed frittata, Cuban pulled pork wrap sound good to you, you will enjoy Saffron. Jen and her family are the favorite restaurant of our family.
