Restaurants in Brockville

At The Creekside Bar and Grill, diners enjoy classic sandwiches, 8-ounce burgers, and specialty pizzas on an outdoor patio overlooking the waters of Loughborough Lake. Visitors can dock their boats near the restaurant and hop ashore to enjoy nightly specials and live music on the weekends.

On the second story of a quaint building, the chefs of Tata's House of Pizza & Pasta churn out pies slathered in housemade sauce and decorated with toppings ranging from salami to fresh garlic. Along with a menu of bubbling pizzas, the staff slathers wings in honey-garlic and “Suicide” sauce, dress up burgers with bacon and cheese, and pile slabs of housemade lasagna onto plates with fresh-made garlic bread.

Fueled by a passion for cooking healthy Indian food without sacrificing flavour and by a passion for cooking in general, Gita Bassi founded Tandoori Sizzle in 2010. Since then, Gita’s 100% housemade menu and infectious smile has made a lasting impact on the community and her customers, so much so that students who visit the restaurant call her “Mama.”

Delicious as they may be, Gita emphasizes that her dishes are good for you, too—she avoids the use of ghee, a clarified butter included in many Indian recipes. That health-minded approach reaffirms the genuine concern Gita expresses through her food and personality: “My customers are like my family,” she told the Kingston Whig-Standard. “When students call me Mama, I love that.”

An aroma summoned by flavourful spices and the fiery breath of tandoori-style ovens hangs in the air inside Cafe India like a transplanted slice of atmosphere from the other side of the globe. The smooth flavors of coconut milk and yogourt sauces complement dishes of hearty curry and biryani plates layered with rice, meat, and sauce. Colourful Indian art hangs from the walls of Cafe India’s intimate dining room, and red linens add an elegant touch to each table.

The chefs at Ali Baba Kabab prepare a spread of Persian and Middle Eastern dishes for dine-in, carryout, or delivery. The stars of the menu—marinated beef and saffron chicken—appear in shawarma plates, kebabs, and crayon drawings accompanied by white rice and warm pitas. Set against walls the colour of yellow saffron, a refrigerated deli counter displays homemade goods ranging from honeyed baklava to fresh wraps.

Ship’s wheels big enough to steer a three-masted vessel hang from the walls at The Lobster Trap, a seafood-centric restaurant attached to the Quality Inn & Suites in Gananoque. Sea-enamored chefs helm a menu of ocean-centric soups, salads, sandwiches, and house specialties such as the chili-lime tilapia ($16.99) and sole stuffed with scallops and crab ($18.99). For turf-based delights, landlubbers tuck into peppercorn-brandy chicken ($18.99) or aged filet mignon ($32.99). A kids' menu caters to the young of heart and age, with basic entrees such as a burger and fries ($9.99).
