Dine in Port Dover

Once home to the world’s largest freshwater fishing fleet, Port Dover is frequented by tourists for its annual Friday the 13th motorcycle rally, summertime Lighthouse Festival Theatre (lighthousetheatre.com), beautiful beaches (complete with real, transplanted palm trees), scenic pier and lighthouse, variety of overnight accommodations and a delightful downtown area filled with quaint boutiques, restaurants and cafes. 

Home to the most diverse agricultural bounty in the province, tasting your way through Port Dover just makes sense. The Erie Beach Hotel’s (eriebeachhotel.com) dining rooms are known for their perch and pickerel dinners and are a great place to relax and recharge. 

Treat yourself to great dining from a menu curated from locally grown or raised products, enjoy live entertainment in a lounge and indulge in a full-service day spa, including an indoor saltwater pool, all under one roof at David’s Restaurant (davidsportdover.com). Or, explore the culinary scene while cycling alongside the knowledgeable and energetic tour guides of Red Apple Rides (redapplerides.com) as they eagerly share the area’s history and best scenic spots through a farmers market, foodie or wine tour.
