Friday Harbour Resort

My husband and son took me to the Lake Club restaurant for Mothers Day brunch. It was exquisite! It was a full buffet and bottomless mimosas and we enjoyed everything. Our server was Mennie and she was fantastic, never kept us waiting, was so sweet to my two year old, went above and beyond for everything. Thank you for a fabulous Mothers Day :)

Gorgeous view, with impeccable service and fantastic food, and overall a far better experience than we have had with restaurants in Toronto. We were a large group (20+), but our hostess, Mennie, made sure we were wanting and waiting for nothing. It was clear the servers were well informed, and took pride in their work, and in the food and drinks they served us. This restaurant is worth the drive, or even as a pitstop between destinations.

I was there as a family of four we had a great day: for breakfast there is a Starbucks, Italian cafe with great espresso, French bakery. We rented bikes and cycled through the resort,up to the golf course and back to the lake. Lunch at Marine room was great, on the harbour. Then hand painted pottery at Crockadoodle it was fun. We then headed to the beach, enjoyed the playground and other beach games (basketball, beach-volley, beach soccer…) and went exploring lake Simcoe on a canoe. Parking is free for the day. For a day visit: you’ll enjoy the location, a good hour drive north of the GTA, beautiful marina with path in the nature preserve, golf course, restaurants and recreational centre. Most of the activities are available but come with a fee. Check the website or contact the welcome center for more details. For a rental: will usually provide you with more access to the facilities, to check with your landlord. Some pros: amazing fireworks, several good restaurants more on the fine dining side, recreational rentals (bikes, kayaks, canoes, cross country skiiing, snowshoes, skates…), amazing views on lake Simcoe, a vibrant harbour with live music on weekends, golf course Some cons: not everything is available to everyone (you cannot just walk to the pool and expect a seat, you might have to pay for it, book a seat, etc.), due to its success it can be busy on weekends so book your table in advance, off season it can be very quiet
