Food Scene
Great pizza! Made Yelp's top 100 restaurants in the US. Leave yourself some time though - if it's crowded you'll have to wait a while for your pizza. On warm days and evenings the outdoor picnic tables are a great atmosphere. Bonus - it's only about an 8 minute drive!

Same great food as the original Hortencia's, but a little pricier and an incredible view. Perched on the edge of the mountain, this restaurant was used as a hotel set in the movie Next with Nicholas Cage. Go here for the awesome view, watch the sunset, and sometimes catch live music.

Yum! I recommend the tater tots with Fat Tire cheese dipping sauce. And the mac n cheese! They have a lot of craft beer, on tap and otherwise. Plus you can't beat the lakefront views.

Breakfast is great - better than anything else they do. But if you need something quick and close, this is it!

I mean, it's waffles. Need I say more? I love the benedict belgian. Sounds weird to have eggs bennie on waffles, but it totally works! And again, you can't beat the atmosphere - right on the lake.

The Village is a fun place to spend a few hours. Walk around the shops and outlet stores, people watch, and feed the ducks! You can buy duck food in almost all the little shops here.

Basic shop - rustic but it's the closest to home. Basic groceries, ice cream, alcohol. They also carry winter essentials like firewood, chains, and snow clothes. For a quick dinner, grab a frozen pizza you can throw in the oven.

This grocery store has a bit more than Village Market and is a lot nicer. Prices are also higher. Selection is still limited (welcome to the mountain!) but you can usually find what you need here. They also have a mini deli with meals and food ready to go, a limited bakery selection brought over from their main store in Blue Jay, and they barbecue outside on the weekends. They sometimes carry firewood, but not as much as Village Market does.
