Where are the best Ontario snowmobile restaurants on Ontario snowmobile trails? It’s indisputable that snowmobilers love to eat, especially on their Ontario snowmobile tours and when Ontario snow conditions are good. In fact, cravings for sustenance motivate many an Ontario ride being planned around a favourite lunch stop, what I call a “destination eatery”. These popular eateries have good OFSC Ontario snowmobile trail access and offer something special, exceptional or memorable that’s a cut (or more) above the rest.

Mainly, they’re mom ‘n’ pop operations with attributes distinct from what are available at most chain establishments and fast food joints. Sometimes it’s their appealing atmosphere, unique architecture, exuberant personality or warm hospitality – but for sure their top notch reputations always depend on great grub…homemade specialties, quality offerings, generous portions and good value that keep snowmobilers coming back for more on their Ontario snowmobile tours.

Ontario Snowmobile Restaurants List

There are lots of good places to eat along Ontario snowmobile trails, but some really stand out. So to help compile this subjective list of most popular destination eateries, I contacted more than 30 sledding enthusiasts who really love their food and asked for personal recommendations for their most cherished trailside establishments during Ontario snowmobile tours.

Boy, did I ever get me a bellyful of scrumptious suggestions! I culled through them to arrive at the list below, which I readily admit doesn’t cover every part of the province for Ontario snowmobling. That’s why I don’t pretend it’s the be-all and end-all list.
