Elora and Fergus’s food and beverage scene is a delightful adventure for the palate, offering a smorgasbord of tastes from cozy cafes to elegant dining.
Imagine sipping a locally brewed craft beer at a brewery like Elora Brewing Company before heading over to a mouthwatering lunch at The Evelyn or kickin’ it old school at a red-stooled bar with a chocolate milkshake and chow mein at the Black and White Restaurant in Fergus. Obsessed with handmade, artisanal food? Check out The Friendly Society, a neighbourhood restaurant in Elora serving fresh and comforting plates with a welcoming atmosphere and a focus on quality ingredients.
For those craving pizza, Tony’s Pizza in Fergus serves wood-fired pies made with naturally leavened artisan sourdough, blending organic Canadian heritage grains with fine Italian wheat for a truly memorable slice. You can also stop by The Lost and Found Café, tucked away off the main drag with plenty of warm beverages, cookies, and treats awaiting you.
Feel like being pampered? No problem! Check out the Feast On® certified Elora Mill Hotel & Spa for ultra luxury and feel-good fine dining worth driving for.
