City/town information

The main downtown area of Southampton is like a trip to 1950s Ontario.

Food scene

Some of our favouites. Saffron, Southampton Thai, Roberto's, Gerry's and the Walker House. We have been to all of the others and if they are on this list we enjoy them. For those that want/need fast food, there is McDonald's, Wendy's, Harvey's, Subway, many chain pizza places and others just down the road in Port Elgin.
If Shahi Paneer, Caribbean banana-lime french toast, Iranian Herbed frittata, Cuban pulled pork wrap sound good to you, you will enjoy Saffron. Jen and her family are the favorite restaurant of our family.

The Walker House is both historic, being a part of the community for over 100 years, and completely up to date having had many updates in the last few years. Their menu is broad and delicious. Great for a family meal, stop in the bar and catch the game, or stop for an afternoon treat in the outdoor courtyard.
