Sights & Landmarks
Bronte Creek Provincial Park, part of the Ontario Parks System, offers a variety of activities such as biking, birding, fishing, and hiking. Visitors can explore a restored farmhouse and nature center showcasing agriculture with farm animals and crops. The park provides camping options as well as yurts for accommodation. Hikers can choose from five trails including Maidens Blush Trail which is great for bird watching.
We enjoyed Bronte Creek because it'd an awesome open area . It's a good and clean provincial park , they'd a barn style playground and some animals you can even feed them at 25cents * theres machines at the location and the kids can enjoy some extra contact with animals in a fun and cute way by feeding the goats . There's a lot of washrooms so make easy to bring kids even younger ones, pregnant and even wheelchairs accessible too. You can enjoy fall colours easy too. You can bring strollers / wagoons and enjoy your own snack at the snack room inside the barn playground theres an space for snack . The trails are very clean and easy to do it with kids too. You can bring your pets too Its a good place to enjoy with your family . We loved our experience .

I visited a wonderful conservation area with well-maintained trails and attractions like the restored 100-year-old Spruce Lane Farmhouse, showcasing life in the 1900s. The farm had goats, sheep, and rabbits, plus a playground for kids. Though the swimming pool was closed for renovation, the nature center with turtles and snakes was fascinating. Clean washrooms made the visit even better! I truly enjoyed myself. 😊

This is a very accessible park east of Toronto. Very friendly staff. Facilities were very clean. The tent pitch was well maintained with a fire pit and seated bench. Local electrical supplies were available with a 30A connector and standard 15A 110Vac connectors. The pitch also gives you free access to the provincial park, which is a short drive away. There is some traffic noise, but suspect the rear tent pitches are more sheltered from this. Overall, it was great value and perfectly placed for trips to Niagara or Toronto. Bronte and Oakville are also close by and are extremely scenic areas to grab coffee and walk along the shore side.

Great provincial park in the middle of the city. Plenty of parking, accessible and lots of things to see and do. March is maple festival time. Day use is $18 per vehicle and includes entrance to the maple festival. Great for kids and adults. There is a small farm which you can see and an old house/museum. Place has a seasonal camp area but open the whole year for trekking.

One of my best cycling parks. It is well maintained and organized with designated car parking zones and maintained eating areas. Full of lots of terrain for mountain biking and cycling.Also hiking terrains to river beds and fishing. Farm for the children with some two and four legged friends. Has lots of activities going on through the year. Great experience for individuals and family

This park is a gem for camping and day picnic located in heart of the city. You never imagine you can find a very peaceful and beautiful place right in the buzz of city. Its located off QEW in Oackville and it is huge in terms of green space. We used the day pass and were amazed by the nature and how huge the spce is. You can easily find a quiet picnic spot with lots of benches and washrooms close by. There are a couple fun activities included as well, like the barn and the pool which was still closed, for kids and families. There is also plenty of small playgrounds close to each picnic section for kids. The trails are super nice for hikers and bikers. The parking spce is also very spacious and easy to find a spot. The only thing is washrooms could be cleaner as you pay for a pass and its not free, this raises the expectations of cleanliness. Overall, the picnic areaswere super clean. Overall, this was a super fun picnic exerience we had and I will be coming back here soon.

Bronte Creek Park is huge, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts for a fun family day out. The park has numerous great picnic spots, well-maintained camping sites, and a variety of trails suitable for hiking and cycling. Families can enjoy fishing, exploring the park's beautiful scenery, and visiting the farm where children can engage with animals. Kids will love the playground and the barn, while adults can relax and take in the natural beauty. With its wide range of activities, Bronte Creek offers something for everyone.

Visited in late September and unfortunately a few of the highlights were closed. We knew the pool is closed so no big deal. But both the Nature center and the farm house were closed, so a bit disappointing. The park itself is very nice with cool hiking options. There are few farm animals that are friendly and cute, goats, sheep, lamb, pigs, bunnies.. all great. Plenty of parking and clean washrooms. The play area in the barn was a great success and is great for kids 3-10.

Nice theatre with comfy seating, good acoustics and an adequate sound and light system. Mic levels seemed low at times for the show we attended, but there were quite a few performers.

Lions Valley Park in Oakville is a haven for nature enthusiasts, offering a range of outdoor activities and amenities. The park boasts hilly trails, a picturesque creek, and spacious lawns perfect for picnicking. Visitors can enjoy hiking through the scenic landscape while observing diverse wildlife. Nestled beneath a major bridge, the park provides an escape from urban noise, with its playgrounds and wooden bridges adding to its natural charm.
Urban trail along a river where we saw plenty of big fish. Breathtaking views of autumnal trees, easy and short walking. Parking is in the other side of the road. Recently, during the weekend before Thanksgiving, the trail was crowded but still we enjoy the place.

Good park close by in Oakville, great hike, did the whole 7km loop in roughly 70 mins. It follows the creek all the way down to upper middle road and then back up. Lots of up and down stairs though. A portion of it was closed so you have to climb up and cross the bridge on dundas. There’s a picnic area with playground near the parking lot by dundas.

I love this place, great if you're looking for beautiful walk in nature. Been here in spring and summer and now it’s fall it did not disappoint. Beautiful setting for pictures I usually go for early morning walks it'svery peaceful. Parking varies based on where you're entering the park you either park under the bridge in the designated parking lot on the bottom end or the plaza parking lot if you're entering from to top. There are stairs and a steep hill if you're starting on top and can be challenging for some keep in mind you will have to go both ways. The walk is pretty easy at the river level.

The place is very beautiful with some spots having falls colors already in. I have attached a picture to showcase what can be found there. You can take bicycles or walk through the trails, the trail is overall 1.5 hours by walk. Overall good experience as we had our dog who enjoyed a lot and we took lot of pictures near the spot we found fall colors. Worth visiting till next mid october.

If you're looking for a nice getaway from Oakvile, you don't have to go too far. This park is wonderful. The trail is about 2 hours of walking with a stroll along side the river. There are cool signs to read along the way and lovely views of nature. Tucked away and hidden in a little valley, you really get the sense that you're not in the city. Great place to walk your dog and enjoy time with your family. The trail isn't challenging but there are some stairs to climb along the way FYI
Mo A — Google review
Only reason I give this park a 4⭐ is because a whole portion of it is closed for construction. They will be building a bridge according to a construction worker but he didn't have a time-line. Otherwise, this park is fabulous, an oasis in Oakville! Great for a hike, a wee bit short for a bike ride, but wonderful to be in nature so close to the city. Being inside the quiet, picturesque ravine really makes you forget about the outside world. The wildlife is super cool and we even saw a beaver!!! How cool.

A quaint little museum, but one of the best laid out I’ve ever seen! Guided tours are available through the living quarters with lots of artifacts. I can’t believe the detail and workmanship of the children’s dollhouse in the kids room! Admission is free thanks to the town and historical society but donations are accepted. The majority of the exhibits are self-guided. Once again, the layout is amazing and well thought out; almost every artifact has a story.

A true all tell of a great Italian reataurant. The people are great, the food is delicious, and the experience leaves you with a smile. We went out for a Lebanese Mother’s day and the family enjoyed it. Our server Gary was excellent and accomodating for all our needs in regards to Halal and sensitive matters such as alcohol and gelatine in the food and desserts. I was also happy to hear they had halal options for the mains. Definitely worth a visit back.

If chop the meat a little more would be better. It's matched with garlic butter fermented bread slices. Very tasty! 🦆PASTA DI GIORNO Duck Meatballs. This dish is not on the menu. The daily special introduced by the waiter took into account the purpose of wanting to eat duck and pasta, so I ordered this. In addition to the pasta, it can be cooked for a while. Overall, it is not satisfactory. Mom also said it was delicious. 🍮TIRAMISU, the end of the regular tiramisu. You could try something else. 🍸The wine part is ordered. MR YUZU HIMSELF Fresh strawberry embellished pineapple grapefruit-flavored rum sweet and sour delicious PINK STILETTO grapefruit-flavored vodka is a little larger than the previous glass of alcohol, but it's still good. ✨The atmosphere of the restaurant is very good for dates & Birthdays in summer. The patio also has a beautiful scenery. If you don't order wine, it's less than $50 per person. I think it's very cost-effective. I'll be back whenever I got chance~

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Hexagon back in August of this summer, and it was absolutely perfect. From the warm welcome to the last bite of dessert, every detail was spot on. The host and our servers were fantastic and quite honestly, they were THE BEST — very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, with a classy touch of humor! The food was incredible: beautifully presented, creative, and full of flavor. You can tell there’s real passion in the kitchen. We even got to meet the chef, and had photos with the staff, which made the night extra special. Everything about the evening exceeded our expectations — it was the perfect place to celebrate our 11th year Wedding Anniversary! A HUGE thank you to the whole Hexagon team for making it such a memorable night! The food was delicious, but the service and the people is what really made it all so memorable!

We dined at hexagon to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The experience was overall positive, but with some suggestions. Food: we had the chef’s tasting menu. My wife had some food preferences ( no raw food or pork) and they were managed very well. Each course of meal was explained to us and whenever there was raw meat, it was cooked for my wife’s dish alone. The theme was Mexican and the ingredients used were top notch. I would have to especially call out the Wagyu dish which was exceptional. Atmosphere: here is where I expected more from a fine dining experience. The restaurant feel crowded and the ambiance was not of a very fine dining restaurant. You can see all the chefs preparing the meal which is great, but the seating , lighting and overall noise level in the restaurant was not up to par. When spending over 200$ per person, the expectation is a culinary experience which includes the dining atmosphere.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary at Hexagon this evening, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every detail of our experience was flawless. Our server, Fernando, deserves the highest commendation. He was not only professional and genuinely friendly, but also demonstrated a level of attentiveness and care that is exceptionally rare in the service industry. His thoughtful recommendations elevated our dining experience, and his diligence in accommodating my husband’s tree-nut allergy immediately put us at ease. To top it all off, Fernando surprised us with complimentary sparkling wine to congratulate us on our anniversary — an incredibly thoughtful gesture that made the evening feel even more special. What truly impressed us was Fernando’s initiative in going above and beyond — making a short trip to the restaurant next door to bring back my requested cappuccino and an espresso for my husband. To call this “great customer service” would be an understatement; it was truly outstanding. The food was a revelation — each dish a masterpiece of flavour, presentation, and innovation. We started with the Vuelve a la Vida, Heirloom Tomatoes and Pain au Lait. Then, for mains, we had the SRF Wagyu Zabuton and Canadian Prime Striploin. For dessert, we indulged in the Peaches and Corn and the Bunuelo. The atmosphere was elegant yet warm, perfectly complementing the elevated dining experience. Hexagon has mastered the art of balancing exceptional cuisine with impeccable service, creating an environment that feels both luxurious and welcoming. If you have not yet dined at Hexagon, you simply have not lived. This was, without a doubt, the BEST experience we have ever had in terms of food, service, and overall dining. To business owners everywhere: take note. Hexagon has set the standard, and they have set it high.

Been meaning to try this place for a while. Made a reservation and when checking in I was offered a patio seat. Late September weather has been nice so we enjoyed the evening sundown outside. Note, it is beside a public square so there are lots of kids playing and screaming (so if you don’t like that, maybe stay inside). Food and service were fantastic. We ordered off the A La Carte menu. Seemed many tables were there for the tasting menu.

Impeccable service, drinks and food was amazing! We had a mocktail that was so unique and flavourful, we didn’t even miss the alcohol. The banana dessert was also filled with so many flavours and textures, couldn’t recommend more! Came back for the tasting menu, it does feel quite pricey for the amount you get, with dessert being additional. Though you can see the tome and effort being put into each plate, food tasted phenomenal but the steak and tartar was very average tasting for what you get. The fish and scallops were very unique!

Nestled in the heart of Oakville, Stoney's Bread Company is a delightful eatery that beckons food lovers with its inviting ambiance and mouthwatering offerings. This bright and airy space specializes in crafting sandwiches on their signature house-baked bread, alongside an array of delicious pizzas and homemade pasta. The interior boasts a chic black-and-white design complemented by warm wooden furniture, creating a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere perfect for enjoying soulful meals.

No awkward waiting for a server. No dance with the bill. You eat, you enjoy, you leave. Beautiful. Staff were warm and helpful, the kind of people who know their menu and actually want you to enjoy your meal. I went with the Calabria sandwich and a side salad. The sandwich was a knockout. Juicy chicken, bold sauce, balanced flavors. The salad was crisp and fresh with just the right amount of dressing. We sat out on the patio — shaded, covered, with a solid awning that kept the brutal heat at bay. A perfect spot for people watching along the main drag of Kerr Village. Real food, real people, done right.

This was an interesting place to grab lunch. It's in Kerr Village, in Oakville. We stopped in on our way to the airport. We arrived just before lunch and service was pretty quick. By the time we were done eating, the place was packed - even though the street outside was shut down due to a water main break. You order, and they bring the food to you. Seating was a bit congested. And tight. I ordered the blackened Atlantic salmon, and my wife had the Calabrese pizza. The salmon surprised me. It was sweet and savory at the same time - definitely different from how I have typically had salmon. It was a good sized portion. I enjoyed it. From the small bite I had of my wife's pizza, it was tasty. A thin, crispy crust with good toppings.

Food was really good, and portion sizes are very generous. Got the maple salmon salad and quinoa salmon salad. Would definitely recommend these. Food is always top notch.

My wife and I dropped in for lunch. We tried the pepperoni pizza 🍕 and the Nove Chicken sandwich. You have to order your food and then pay for it at the counter. Then they hand you an order number and then you can be seated. This was my first visit so now I know. The Nove chicken sandwich was ultra delicious 🤤. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. The ciabatta bun was perfectly toasted and the greens 🥬 and sauce was heavenly. This gets 10 stars all day long. The service also gets 10 stars ✨ easily 👍. The pepperoni 🍕 pizza was freshly made, but the crust was frozen and the pizza sauce was on the sweet side. So I am not a fan of this pizza unfortunately. Nonetheless, the service and the eclectic atmosphere gets a thumbs up from me. Happy eats everyone 😎

Pulled Pork Sandwich is the best we’ve had so far! The ciabatta is surprisingly soft and the pulled pork is so creamy and tender. The Jambalaya Linguine is amazing as well!

Italian restaurant
Nestled at the end of Lakeshore Road, Pasquale's Trattoria is a charming family-owned Italian restaurant that has been delighting locals since 2009. This hidden gem in Oakville offers a delightful blend of modern decor and traditional Italian warmth, making it an inviting spot for any meal. The ambiance is enhanced by tasteful overhead lamps and framed photographs showcasing Italy’s stunning landscapes, from Rome to Tuscany.
Now, this was a very positive experience, and after some investigation - I want to claim that Pasquale's Trattoria in Oakville is the best restaurant in the West of Toronto area. The "best" may mean different things to different people, and here I refer purely to the quality of food, which is exceptional and suggests deep knowledge and care about the produce and tradition. The same applies to the staff, who were all mature experienced people with deep understanding of what they are doing (and serving). We visited dozens of highly rated restaurants in the area, and Pasquale's stood out very clearly. The photos show the small room, so you probably need to pre-book if you want to visit at a popular time (we came at 12 noon on a Friday, so it was half-empty, yet there was no compromise on the food they served). The menu is classical Italian, with most items you will recognise in most authentic Italian restaurants. But there was quality you would seldom find even in Italy... All portions were very generous, so you need to be quite hungry if you plan even two courses. Calamari Fritti had a heavenly batter, and a remarkable twist of flash-fried spinach. Breaded Sicilian Eggplant was also very good: the eggplant took all the flavours of provolone cheese and tomato sauce. The two mains we had were the Fresh Sole fillet with egg wash, white wine and lemon sauce, and the Veal Calogero (with fontana cheese, fresh tomato and demi glace). The sole especially was very good: quite large so it was meaty and flaky (not thin and falling apart as some ex-frozen sole fillets often are), with the white sauce adding freshness and flavour. Demi place made the veal dish quite rich, but choosing the broccoli stems (Rapini) with it was smart: it cut through the deep sauce well. This was a high-level cuisine, and other items on their menu promised the same experience (mins you, the menu you see on Google isn't full). One of the photos shows the steep staircase to their toilet area, so if you have impaired mobility - try to prepare and not need to go.

Great restaurant for a special night out or celebration. Exceptional service and atmosphere. Very popular so better call ahead for reservation. Food portions were big but the pastas were a bit too al dente for us. We really liked the charcuterie board though!

Really loved this restaurant. We did not have a reservation for a busy Friday night and the manager made a plan to find us a table. It was highly appreciated but more than that, the food and service was truly exceptional. 10 out of 10

Very nice ambient resto in Oakville downtown ! Enjoyed my time with my family. Foods are very good especially for seafood like mussels and calamari. The portion is very generous! The owner Pat is a very nice gentleman. Tiramisu is a must to order

Having dined here several times, I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The food is absolutely outstanding, but it’s the hospitality of the staff that truly sets this place apart. Mr. Pasquale is the kindest, most gracious host—welcoming every guest as though they were a dear friend visiting his home. One Saturday evening several months ago, I mistakenly made a reservation at another restaurant, intending it to be here. It was to be a special occasion and there were 5 of us. Despite the mix-up, they went above and beyond to accommodate us, offering seats at the bar until a table became available. This gesture perfectly reflects the warmth, care, and commitment to service that defines this restaurant. Truly, this is a special place where you’re made to feel like royalty. Thank you to the entire team for everything you do!

My husband and I had a wonderful night out at this restaurant. We didn't want to fight traffic going to Toronto and so I was looking for somewhere not too far from Mississauga. I am very happy having found this intimate and cozy place. The food, service and ambiance was lovely. Our server was friendly and helpful. I can see why there are so many positive reviews for this place. Will definitely be going back again!!

Plank Restobar, located on Augusta Street, is a trendy spot offering seasonal small plates, gourmet pizza, and bourbon drinks in a rustic setting with vintage signage. The restaurant's rooftop patio, known as 'The Rooftop,' provides stunning city views and a new food menu. Plank focuses on chef-inspired dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and offers an ambiance characterized by great music and a fine selection of beers, wines, and bourbons.
Great variety of American Tapas style options, atmosphere was very casual but quite busy on a Sunday evening. Service was incredibly friendly and made the experience overall memorable and pleasant. We ordered the poke bowl & duck poutine and I was pleased with portion size. I would definitely visit again to try some other menu items.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem on the Oakville Waterfront We decided to try Plank Restobar in Oakville with the family, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. The location is unbeatable—right next to the waterfront, with a cozy, rustic ambience that immediately sets the mood. The interior is full of vintage charm, with eye-catching signs scattered throughout, including my personal favorite: a classic Coca-Cola sign that added a nostalgic touch. From the moment we walked in, our host Ty made us feel welcome. He suggested we start with a few appetizers and decide on mains afterward—a recommendation that paid off. We began with the salmon, which was exceptional: fresh, tender, and beautifully seasoned. The shrimp came next—slightly firm, but the sauce was so flavorful it more than made up for it. Then came the ravioli meatballs and the Pao Bao buns, both of which were packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Even though everyone claimed to be full, we couldn’t resist ordering the Margherita pizza with a cheesy jalapeño dip. It arrived hot and fresh, with a juicy base and just the right amount of kick. It was gone in minutes. The food was consistently impressive, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and Ty’s service was top-notch. Plank Restobar is a must-visit if you're in Oakville—great for families, date nights, or just a relaxed evening by the lake.

Had a lovely dinner with the family sitting in the patio. Service was great. Food was delicious and had generous portion size. We ordered a number of tapas and pasta entree for the 4 of us to share and we were stuffed!! We arrived just before the dinner rush on a Saturday night so no wait for us. But when we left the restaurant was packed and there was a wait. Recommend reservations if acceptable or go early.

Wow, this restaurant was really wonderful!! We had such great service & the food is delicious!! The cauliflower fritters were SO GOOD & we were quite amazed at the size of them & just how tasty they were!! Highly recommend the Fresca Salad as well, which was really flavorful (loved the mint, mango & watermelon combination)!! And the Rose Garden Pizza too, which my grandmother ordered & I was lucky she let me "steal" a couple of pieces lol Very delicious!! Everything was fresh & tasty!! And the atmosphere was truly charming. Servers were friendly & the margaritas were excellent!! Overall a great place!! Will for sure be back again!!

This place is interesting I had the risotto and some ditaliano pizza mind you I think this restaurant was an American styled bar and grill. The pizza was great perfect temperature the sauce was savoury and the ingredients were nicely complementing each other overall a great pizza. The risotto had some flaws it had a great balanced texture and it was cooked perfectly however, the saltines of the cheese didn’t go well with the dish and the simplicity of the lettuce didn’t suit the plate either. We were seated and served with great care, and the plates got to the table fairly quick. The aura of the place is a lot like any other American bar and grill however structured in such a way that made it quite cozy the problem with this is that when there’s a lot of people the place can get really loud making it hard to talk because all the sound is bouncing off the walls making everyone speak louder and louder to communicate to those around you. What I think could really take this place to the next level is a little re arranging and having more appropriate dishes to choose from. Overall I think this place isn’t bad at all to go to if you are walking by or in the area.

Visited for the very first time on a weeknight and fell in love with the food. It was super packed for a Thursday night and I was glad I had made a reservation. We chose to sit at the patio, even though it was cloudy. Every item we ordered was delicious. Our most favorite was the Fresca salad. The Bao buns were melting soft! And the whip it good was perfect! The Salmon torch blow could be better. Definitely coming back!
