Thin crust pizza that is consistently good. "The White" is my absolute favorite.

A very relaxed atmosphere with the best pub food in the neighborhood. Mike the owner and cook is understandably proud of what he serves.

Doraku

Fancy place to eat. The chef is French trained So I recommend ordering something that has butter or cream in it. (I've had the burger here, and I wasn't a big fan - go to the Side Hustle Cafe for your burgers!)

This is a friendly blue collar pub for blue collar locals who are serious about nursing a drink. The food is better than you think it will be.

This is a fancy cocktail bar where you can get a boujie drink and some light upscale nibbles (think oysters, not nachos). A nice place to go if you wanna air your glad-rags.

I do not recommended this place.
Which makes me sad. This used to be my favourite old school NS pizza place. The quality and consistency has gone way downhill in recent years.
Not even cheaper than "ya ya's pizza" (which I consider the new, fancy, place)

Buta Ramen
A nice little place to get some warm soup and noodles.
A new place with a lovely decor. The smash burger and fries taste awesome and is very filling.

If it's super hot and you need to jump in a lake, this is the very closest one. The beach isn't super duper nice, but the water is.

This is a pleasant walking path along the waterfront. it doesn't really go anywhere, so only walk it of you'd like to see it again on the way back
