Chatham-Kent has some of the richest land in Canada. Our location, often referred to as the Banana Belt of Southwestern Ontario is the perfect location for growing produce of a wide variety and fruit and berries of every kind imaginable. 
Mama Maria's in Historic Downtown Chatham is another great spot with indoor and outdoor dining on the River. There are several other spectacular restaurants in CHATHAM-KENT. One of our favorites is Churrascaria Breakfast Grille on Grand Ave East in Chatham. We have never been disappointed, truly 'Fine Dining' and the presentation is spectacular! I have only mentioned a few. Go to CHATHAM-KENT'S WEBSITE for more information'.

Several of our local restaurants serve fruits and vegetables grown locally. Several have lovely patios, some overlooking the water, adding to their charm. Restaurant owners and their chefs are in their glory with the bountiful harvest of the area. The slogan often heard is ' buy local, buy fresh' and patrons appreciate the flavourful taste. European inspired restaurants as well as traditional area cuisine are found right here in our area. Those establishments also take advantage of the large fishing community in Chatham-Kent with their wonderful local perch and pickeral dinners.
A popular fresh fish restaurant that should be a must on your list to visit is Molly and OJ's in the quaint little Village of Erieau on Lake Erie.
Erieau boasts world class fishing with their catches of walleye, salmon, perch, rainbow trout and more. Another attraction in Erieau is the Bayside Brewery. Their signature beer, Long Pond is named after a favorite fishing hole. The brewery has indoor seating and an outdoor patio overlooking the bay and uses Chatham-Kent products where possible, namely, the honey used in their Honey Ale. Friday night and Sundays feature local bands with bayside entertainment for your enjoyment. Picnic tables are provided or bring your own chairs
