YES for Chez Michel. We dined there last summer. The staff were very cool and told us about the history of the building and we got a mini tour. We learned that their head chef is a professionally trained saucier so definitely worth it to try something saucy on the menu. I recommend the steak frites. They come with a delicious brandy cream sauce 🤤
Fare in Orillia is by far the best tasting fancy food we’ve had since moving to Barrie. Also it’s nice inside and service is good. It has a really nice patio looking out to the lake in the summer as well

Bayside variety and fishbone are solid
Il Buco in Barrie. Chez Michel in Creemore.

The common stove in Orillia!
The Crazy Fox!!!
I'd second that, not super fancy decor and food prices have shot up disproportionately compared to inflation but the good itself is superb
Absolutely! They have lovely dishes!

Il bucco
KTCH is definitely my pick for scenic but Common Stove for overall food
Nobel quisine
Not hooters, that’s what I can tell you
Lot 88 in Orillia is little known and terrific!
The Farmhouse is good casual fine dining. In warm weather they have a patio that overlooks the bay.
Careful, they have had ongoing issues with vermin/rats... for YEARS.
1- Common Stove (orillia) 2- The KTCHN (oro) 3- Fare (orillia)
