Island Goods - Gore Bay

Manitoulin Island boasts some fantastic small restaurants, and the newly opened Island Goods in Gore Bay is no exception! Owner Kris Leblanc has gained fame on the island for their delicious vegetarian dishes, soups, and sandwiches. Leblanc is a staunch advocate for buying local products and has been instrumental in educating others about healthy eating. I have dined at both their previous and current locations, and the food is always delectable!

We had a great time dining on the patio, enjoying our delicious meal and large dessert spread. The menu offered a variety of options, including daily soup and a selection of sandwiches. They also had a great variety of healthy homemade dishes, as well as local beverages. Kris was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local food scene. We even purchased some vacuum-packed sausages from Burt's Farm to take home and cook later. Make sure to check the seasonal offerings before they change, as autumn/winter specials start in September.

It is worth the drive from anywhere on the island (and many places off of it) for their frozen yogurt.

Unfortunately, unlike other establishments in Gore Bay (and on all of Manitoulin Island), the staff at this restaurant were quite unfriendly during our visit in mid-May.

All kinds of delights from frozen yogurt to fresh baked bread and muffins! Friendly service.
