After treetop trekking, we drove 26 minutes to downtown Port Hope for lunch.
Port Hope is the kind of town that rewards small detours. From the moment you turn off the 401, the river winds you into a downtown that feels half a century out of step with the rest of Ontario — in the best possible way.
On the menu
Locally roasted coffee, salmon from the Ganaraska, pickles from the Saturday market and a slow-cooked dinner that pairs with anything from the brewery down the street.
Make a weekend of it
Pair this stop with a heritage walking tour, a paddle off East Beach and an evening show at the Capitol Theatre. Reservations recommended on summer weekends.
