Restaurants, tea rooms, and cafés dot the Elgin County countryside and line the main streets of its quaint towns and villages serving everything from hearty country fare to fine dining options. Enjoy the elegance of an afternoon tea, try the local catch of the day on a lakeside terrace or indulge in a sweet and creamy ice cream cone on a hot summer day.  Local wineries nestled along winding country roads are the perfect place to stop for a break after a long day of backroad trekking.
