DINING cornwalltourism.com / WHEREONTARIOBEGAN.CA
Sometimes a night out means a cold beverage and a basket of chicken wings in a cozy pub setting. It’s a place to catch the game and have a friendly conversation. Fortunately for travellers, the pub lifestyle is alive and well here, and local pubs can be found in just about every city, town and village. During your rural ramblings drop in to the Kilted Canuck in Maxville, Jack’s Pub in Williamstown or O’Neill’s Pub in Long Sault. While in the city, check out Chez Liz in Le Village, Shoeless Joe’s on Brookdale or the Jet Set pub at NAV Centre. Truffles Burger Bar

2017 VISITOR GUIDE | PG. 29
Lunch Crisp salads, tasty soups and generous sandwiches lead the way on many lunch menus at small bistros. Comfort food such as grilled cheese sandwiches and smoked meat are popular at places like the Quirky Carrot in Alexandria, the Sweet Tooth Bakery in Lancaster and Love Love Food in Cornwall, where the owner is also the creative genius in the kitchen. Fast and Fantastic Let’s be honest. Sometimes we just don’t have time to sit down and enjoy a leisurely meal. Fortunately, we have you covered. Stopping by a chip stand is a long-standing tradition in the region. Nothing is tastier than freshly made French fries – complemented by a main of hot dogs, perch rolls or cheeseburgers. Steamies are hot dogs that are steamed to provide a soft and tasty treat, and each location has their own variation. Poutine, of course, can often be a meal on its own.
Blue Anchor
Coffee Shops
Breakfast The old-fashioned diner approach to serving breakfast is alive and well in Cornwall and the Counties. Dozens of small restaurants devoted to the morning repast dot the landscape, offering the traditional meal of bacon, eggs, and homefries – along with just about any variation you can think of. You can upscale the experience at the new Cora’s restaurant in Cornwall and Nautica in Long Sault, and on the weekends Sunday brunch is a hit with families. Most of the breakfast diners close in the early afternoon, so don’t delay in grabbing a seat!
The day just doesn’t begin for many people until they have had their first coffee. Luckily for bean connoisseurs, there is always a coffee shop around the corner. Tim Hortons is a national favourite, while Starbucks has finally landed in Cornwall. Free trade and organic choices, including lattes, cappuccinos and other speciality coffees can be found at a number of small independent cafés such as Stomping Grounds in the Cotton Mill District, Mindful Cookery in Downtown Cornwall and Cup of Jo’s in Winchester.
cornwalltourism.com / WHEREONTARIOBEGAN.CA
Check out local favourites such as Billy K’s, Chef in a Bun, the Loose Caboose and Seguin Patate in Cornwall, and Gaetan’s in Alexandria. Cool Down It takes a while for the sun to set in the summer, which gives us all more time to enjoy a cool treat at any of the great ice cream parlours that dot the region. Check out Dairy Queen in Cornwall and Lancaster, Menchies in Cornwall or Grama’s Ice Cream in Long Sault.

Cornwall pizza is a unique experience - and one best served hot out of a cardboard box. Several local pizza parlours vie for top honours, but all deliver a pie that is robust and topped with the freshest of ingredients.
Sightseeing can be hard work. Take some time to relax with a cold drink on any one of the many outdoor patios throughout the region. Patios are a great way to meet the locals and create new friends.
The Lancaster Perch Roll is a perch filet tossed in flour then lightly fried. Served in a toasted bun and covered in a sweet sauce. Legend has it that Marie, the lady who made the perch roll famous by selling it from a riverside diner on stilts, sold her perch roll sauce recipe for $100,000. Try the Blue Anchor’s version of this local favourite on their waterfront patio just east of Cornwall on County Road 2.
A steamed hotdog topped with mustard, chopped onion, and fresh coleslaw served in a top loading bun. Ketchup and relish usually are on request only.

Shopping
Is there any better way to shop than strolling down a treelined main street, looking at window displays by merchants that you simply cannot find anywhere else? As powerful as the photos on your phone are, the treasures that return with you are priceless. While the line-up of local merchants is simply too diverse to list here, we’ve given you a few places to start. Have fun exploring!

One of the largest is Johnson’s Antiques, with over 6,000 sq. ft. of retail space on Highway 138 in South Stormont. Other finds can be found on Sundays at McHaffie’s Flea Market in Morrisburg. If you time your visit right, you will also want to check out the action at a local auction there is always a deal waiting to be had. 2017 VISITOR GUIDE | PG. 39
Shopping
Artisans Cornwall and the Counties is home to dozens of talented artists and artisans. Their wares can be found at dozens of home studios, or at any number of local merchants and restaurants. A great way to discover many artists is at area fairs and festivals, including the Apples and Art Studio Tour in September and the popular Trunk Sale at Marlin Orchards in November or visit the Community Market in Long Sault for year-round local treasures. Taking home a piece of art is just one way of capturing memories of your visit to the region.

For golf equipment and attire, visit the pro shops at Archies or any of the dozen major golf courses in the region. cornwalltourism.com / WHEREONTARIOBEGAN.CA
One advantage that smaller merchants have over their big box brothers is that each clothing line has been vetted by the owners themselves. Discover the fine fashions at stores such as The Squire Shop, Kastner’s and Shulman’s in Downtown Cornwall. If you are looking for a gown for a wedding, you will want to drop by Salon Alliance Bridal Boutique and Juliannah’s Bridal in Moose Creek.

Glengarry Pioneer Museum Dunvegan Built in the 1840s and 1860s, this museum pays homage to the early Pioneer Scottish settlements of the Glengarry area. Along with the log constructed heritage buildings, the Glengarry Pioneer Museum also houses many artifacts, archival material, and photographs from the Glengarry settlements. St. Raphael’s Ruins
St. Raphael’s Ruins St. Raphaels This large stone church, now in ruins, served a congregation of Gaelic- speaking Catholic Highlanders who had settled in the easternmost county of Upper Canada in 1786. Declared a National Historic Site in 1999, the ruins in St. Raphaels were once one of the earliest Roman Catholic churches in English speaking Canada. When a fire consumed the church in 1970, the outer walls were all that remained of the massive structure.

Long Sault
St. Andrews West
The flooding during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1958 resulted in the loss of six small villages and the relocation of inhabitants to new areas. The result was the creation of new communities that exist today. The complex consists of ten heritage buildings that were restored and relocated to Ault Park in Long Sault.
Believed to be one of the oldest cemeteries in Ontario, it was closed to burials in 1915. The stone monument, the surrounding wall and the gate were built by the Provincial Government in 1938. Buried in the cemetery are Captain “Spanish” John MacDonnell, soldier of fortune in Spain and aide to the Stuart court in France: Simon Fraser the famous explorer, and John Sandfield Macdonald the first Premier of Ontario.
