Island Cafe

Wow, I was not expecting it to be so good! Quality food and ingredients with environmentally friendly ‘tude! Will definitely go back!

It’s such a nice place with with a good view to the city and lake. But the staff should be more polite. Also they need urgently to improve the menu. Oysters, fresh fish, some sides and a better wine menu would be more appropriate to this fantastic place and view (the sunset is amazing!)

We visited on a relatively quiet day, only eight other people were at the restaurant for lunch. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, made drink/food suggestions and asked about our group's experience in the city. As some of the other reviews have suggested things can be a bit slow to arrive, but it's all part of the charm... if you're in a desperate rush to be somewhere else then maybe try Subway on Centre Island instead!

The food here is always great and they have a varied menu (veg-friendly, too). Fun, beachy vibe with cheerful, accommodating servers. They make the best homemade iced tea (almost lemonade, really). The perfect place to recharge your batteries for an hour before getting back to cycling or walking around the island. Free kale Tuesday nights too!

Feel like great, locally sourced foods (heck, they even grow their own herbs & greens), craft beers, fresh juices, and wines, all while your 5 year old happily plays in the restaurant's sandbox or dashes around the lawns and gardens overlooking lake Ontario? Yeah. Good times on the island. This place = a happy summer.
