Ontario’s Highlands, just 2.5 hours east of Toronto and a hop, skip, and a jump from Ottawa, is where your taste buds come to party. This is a region built for epic edible adventures—whether you’re sipping small-batch spirits, downing crafty brews, or noshing your way from cozy cafés to drool-worthy fine dining. With fresh local ingredients and flavours that slap (in the best way), it’s like a greatest-hits album of Ontario’s tastiest bites and sips.

Here, farm-to-table isn’t just a trend—it’s a lifestyle.  Add in breweries cranking out crushable beers perfect for spring or summer, and you’ve got yourself a foodie playground. Think farmers’ markets bursting with goodies, comfort food that hugs you from the inside, doughnuts that demand a photo op, and ice cream that’s worth every detour. Come hungry. Leave smitten.
