Here are some of our fave places to grab a bite or a bevy:
JOE. HOT + COLD – we couldn’t start this list without our pals next door! It’s a great place to grab a latte and a breakfast sandwich, and head upstairs to one of their cozy couch areas. Want something a little stronger? They offer cocktails, and local craft beer and wine also! Located in Kingsville AND Colchester.
EL DIABLO – one-of-a-kind Mexican/Thai fusion restaurant with creative, and seasonal dishes. And don’t get us started on how good the MARGS are!
BANDED GOOSE BREWERY – craft beer and cocktails, scrumptious food truck bites, and live music on weekends. The location could not be closer either – right across from the HOTEL.
THE GOOSE KITCHEN + BAR (Formerly known as JACKS) - this place is a STAPLE in K-Ville! Always local, always changing the menu, and always a perfect choice for a cozy date night.
GARFIELDS – located right down the road from the MOTEL, you gotta try this place! Brunch on Sundays only too.
THE WRECK - Where lakeside dining meets laid-back vibes, serving up delicious food and panoramic views with a side of beachy charm at this double decker patio at Colchester's Harbor; steps from the MOTEL.
ELITE RESTAURANT – if you’re trying to impress someone special, or just love a dam good steak, this is the spot! They offer a 3-course dining menu, and fantastic wine and cocktail options. We recommend making a reservation on their ROOFTOP patio – what a way to view the town!
O’SARRACINOS - in the mood for Italian, they have you covered here! We highly recommend the arancini balls, and the gnocchi. That’s amore!
KOI SUSHI - A local gem offering fresh, creative sushi rolls and Japanese dishes with a dash of flair, perfect for sushi aficionados and adventurous eaters alike.
METTAWAS STATION - Located in the old train station, this place blends historic charm with modern culinary flair, serving up delectable dishes made from locally sourced ingredients in a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
BEACHHOUSE GRILL – a little hungover? Need some stick-to-your-ribs breaky or brunch? This is the place! Chicken and waffles cannot be beat.
VERNONS TAP AND GRILL – Vern is your local breadmaker/homemade-everything kinda guy. Grab and order of Johnny Bread, and wash it down with a pint of “Ole Verno”.
JIMS RESTAURANT – if you like eggs benny, then Jim is your guy. They are open 6 days/week at 6am. Greasy spoon at its finest!
