Explore Chatham-Kent, from the farm to the plate, and enjoy the many flavours we have to offer.
Chatham-Kent is known for our agricultural roots, and we have farmers markets, produce stands, and many pick-your-own produce farms to excite any home cook. Check out the Buy Local Buy Fresh Chatham-Kent guide to see what's in season and how to find locally grown produce. We also have many delicious local restaurants and bakeries for the enthusiastic or casual foodie.
Start your day off with a hearty classic breakfast at any of our family-style restaurants, make brunch an occasion at the popular Chilled Cork Restaurant & Lounge or Churrascaria Steakhouse & Grill eateries, or get your feet moving early with pick-your-own berries at Parks Blueberries or Pardo's Berrie Farm during the summer months.
Spend your day exploring boutique shops along one of our many main streets and collect sweets and goodies to take home with you. You can grab a specialty coffee to refuel at local favourites like Charlie's Cafe (Blenheim), Sam's Percolator (Chatham), and William Street Cafe (Chatham). While driving, explore Chatham-Kent's Barn Quilt Trails and the Tecumseh Parkway to learn more local stories and enjoy views of open skies, fields and waterways.
Take your pick of restaurants for lunch and dinner, from patios at downtown pizzerias like Centro Woodfired Kitchen, to waterfront views at Bayside Brewery and pub-style food at Rondeau Joes - both overlooking the beautiful Rondeau Bay. Get that farm-to-plate freshness at local establishments like James Street Eatery, located in the oldest running restaurant location in Southwestern Ontario. Enjoy diverse food selections across Chatham-Kent from Spice and Curry's delicious and fresh Indian to frog legs at the Central Tavern in Pain Court or The Garage Restaurant in Merlin.
