Family owned and operated farm brewery located in Idyllic Prince Edward County. Every beer tells a story. Gaining inspiration from the rich County history and culture our family owned and operated farm brewery encompasses two 150 year old - heritage lumber buildings that were disassembled, moved and re-purposed as our bottle shop and tap room. Our expansive beer garden features alfresco dining from our Outdoor Kitchen, enjoy the unstructured playground with your little ones.

Bala

About the restaurant

Located in the heart of Bala, Muskoka, The Pearl is a destination food market during the day & vibin snack bar at night where “old country” and contemporary intersect. Led by a team of culinary experts, focused on mixing flavor-driven cuisine with the simplicity and comforts of cottage life.

What started as a vision of a cool, welcoming spot in the heart of Muskoka was then explored, researched and fine-tuned by TOBEN Hospitality Group owners Toben Kochman, Elana Kochman and Ryan Feldman. After putting their heads together and harmonizing their ideas, they arrived at The Pearl.

The Dinner Menu at the Pearl continuously evolves and focuses on communal eats in the form of small & large share plates or "tapas". It is the perfect atmosphere for guests to disconnect from their day and reconnect with one another.

The Lounge @ Jack & Stella offers our customers a little bit of everything.

Our goal it to be your destination, that place where you want to come and can’t wait to bring a friend. The home away from home where your kids want to go and will remember for years to come. A place where friends will meet on a Saturday afternoon by boat or girlfriends will save the date for that special getaway weekend.

We’re visiting for the season and feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced their last lounge of 2024 before fall settles in. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The staff is exceptionally friendly, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to recommend this hidden gem to friends visiting Muskoka. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing meal in a welcoming environment, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. -Pat&Mao

Gravenhurst

About the restaurant

Born out of our love of fine wines and delicious food, Dock of the Bay - Gravenhurst has become the premiere location for casual dining in Muskoka. After traveling the world and sampling different cuisines, we decided to make our way back home and bring the world to us.

Chef Darren serves gourmet meals prepared with only the freshest produce. We ensure the quality of our dishes with the quality of our ingredients.

Our biggest challenge was finding the right, high-quality ingredients for the dishes we wanted to serve. We are dedicated to offering only the finest and freshest foods. We have also taken great care in assembling a team of only the best chefs, experienced kitchen and servers.

Reservation is available for dinner only.

The food is absolutely outstanding. I have not had a better meal in a big city or in a fancy venue which was a delight to discover in a humble location in a small town in Ontario. The chef is extremely talented and the staff team are fun, welcoming and knowledgeable.

Friendly, efficient service. The appetizer was very good. As a main, ordered the tandoori salmon which came with mint rice and mango salad. The salmon was good. The rice was good but cold. The mango salad was more of a garnish and contained no mango. Maybe it was in the dressing but we couldn’t taste it. A bit expensive for what we got.
