Casual lakeside restaurants/bars in Mississauga/Oakville with a Patio?

Question

Anyone have suggestions for casual lakeside restaurants/bars in Mississauga/Oakville with a Patio?

I know of Lake Affect but I prefer one on the water versus at the habor...

Thanks!

Answer 1

Surprisingly, if you want to be right at the lakeside there are not that many choices.

In Oakville - only the Lighthouse Restaurant at Bronte is on the water.  The rest of the restaurants in Oakville are on Lakeshore Road, north of the lake.  Lighthouse is fine dining inside, but casual on the patio.  It's in the Bronte Harbour.

In downtown Burlington, you have more choices.  For casual dining with a great view, try Emma's back porch.  They are known for their ribs.  If you want to go for Sunday brunch, go to Waterstreet Cooker, which is upstairs from Emma's.  The Sunday brunch is a buffet and it's amazing.
