The main attraction of this restaurant is its vast
patio. Equipped with picnic tables and umbrel-
las, and most importantly unbeatable vistas of
Toronto from across the lake, it’s the perfect
summertime setting for a day on the island.
Make your order at the cash register inside and
take a number – your meal will be delivered to
where you’re sitting (on the patio, obviously).
While it’s exciting to imagine the promised up-
grades to this humble deck – including Muskoka
Chairs, cabanas, possible fire pit, hanging lights,
and hopeful activation of the rooftop patio (cur-
rently unused) –the patio is still pretty enjoyable
as it stands right now.
They’re beers to look forward to: Gord Slat-
er, formerly of Muskoka Brewery and Niagara
Brewing Co., is the brewmaster here, and a
sample of one their small batch Ferry Boat
cans is promising.
For now, all Toronto Island Brewing Co. has
in terms of beer is a small patio kiosk pouring
pints of basic domestics ($7.97) and Heineken
($8.41), bottles, and tall cans ($8.85) of brews
like Rickards Radler.
