Dining

The best meals you will eat are of course the ones you create yourself, using either the indoor cooking facilities (range, toaster-oven, microwave oven) or the outside propane barbeque. The second best will be, ahem, the first night dinner provided by your hosts Graeme & Nancy, made all the better by your presence at the table.

There may be occasions when you just might want to get out and let someone else do the cooking, so here is a partial list of what might interest you in the area.

Loon Lodge
Just around the corner between our island and the landing, this small island lodge has a snack bar where you can get their famous “Loon Burgers” (no, they’re not made from Loons), ice cream, fries, etc. You can get there by canoe in about 5-10 minutes.

Deepwater Lodge
At the other end of the extreme, and about 5-10 more minutes by canoe directly across from Loon Lodge, this establishment offers Thai food and various other things. Licensed.

Bear Island
At the water’s edge right beside their main docks in front of Mel’s Market, is a snack bar that is sometimes open, selling ice cream cones and the like. Not worth a special trip, because they might not be open, but if you are in the area you could take a look.

Temagami Shores
This Inn and Resort is located both on the highway and the lake just south of town. Offers medium-priced fare. Licensed.

Temagami Petro-Canada gas station
Located right as soon as you get into town (by car or boat), this is a fast food restaurant which is also a Subway/Country Style/Burgers Plus franchise. Also sells newspapers, lottery tickets, etc.

Busy Bee Restaurant
Family restaurant in town.

Orient Garden
As expected, Chinese food, in town. Licensed
