Yep, it’s another foody place! This time though, we’re not talking about a huge chain – this time its a single restaurant! The Sunset Grill in Gravenhurst, Muskoka.
By all accounts it was a generally miserable day weather wise, and we’d been to the Muskoka Store and it had more or less been raining continuously for a day. This is not normal weather for this part of weather.. grey skies may be common sight in Britain, but generally days of rain and cloud is not the norm here.. We’d gone to Gravenhurst to have a look around – and you’ll see a more general article on Gravenhurst in the next couple of months, but basically its a town built on the edge of a lake. Here on the wharf – with a car park right next to it is the Sunset Grill.

This is where we had lunch. If you head in – I’d recommend the Coffee, it was fantastic and with the added bonus of free refills its worth every penny! The menu has many classics – such as the BLT – or if you wanted to go for something more traditionally Canadian you could have the pea meal bacon on a bun. These sandwiches come served on a plate with veggy sticks (of cucumber and carrot), along with a separate dip, and a separate dressing for your sandwich. I had the BLT and it really was worth having – I’d recommend it to you – but .. what i liked the most? One of us couldn’t finish the Pea meal Bacon in a bun.. well there was my chance! Not only was the pea meal bacon cooked perfectly, it was really tender and thickly cut. The bread cake/bun was really soft – and of coarse it came with the veggy sticks and condiments.
Sandwiches are available on white, wholemeal (brown) or Dark rye bread – so you see you even get more of a choice of bread than in the UK!
The grill doesn’t just do sandwiches though, they also do all day breakfasts, lunch time specials, home made soups, wraps and even Quesadilla – so why not be adventurous and try something new?

We were eating indoors – obviously – due to the miserable weather, but even indoors the grill provides a pleasant atmosphere which will give you a sunnier feeling even on a rainy day.

However, if you head out to Gravenhurst, i can guarantee you’ll find better weather than we did that day – and if you are graced by the sun that day the Sunset Grill also has outside a beautiful area with chairs – so you can enjoy your meal outside with the breeze coming in off the lake – watching the steam boats take people on short cruises. Even should you be as unlucky as we were, there are still pretty views to enjoy from inside as you can look through the windows at the lake.

The sunset Grill’s opening hours in spring is 8:00am until 3pm Thursday to Sunday so you can head along for breakfast or lunch. To get the most up to date information on opening hours it’s best to visit their website http://www.thesunsetgrill.ca/index.html
