The Lighthouse Restaurant

This place is my all time favourite for breakfast! They just do it right… service, quality and price can’t be beat.

Fantastic meal to complement a morning driving around the eastern side of Prince Edward County. We got there just after official closing time. They courteously sat us, and then stuffed us full of excellent food. I had the Big Bay Breakfast. Pancake = yummmm (upgraded to real maple syrup). All pork farmers sausage PERFECTLY cooked and tasty tasty tasty. Eggs poached beautifully. Home fries best I’ve had in ages (usually I have a few bites only, but these were well worth finishing). Coffee good. Heck, even the rye toast was perfect. Service pleasant and professional. Décor very cute. Do yourself a big favour and grab a meal here.

Awesome breakfast 10 guys all camping at Sandbanks no complaints food service were both fantastic.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Absolutely love this place! Can be a longish wait time to get a table but that’s just due to popularity, once you’re seated your impossibly delicious meal is delivered quickly via very bubbly, friendly staff! Prices are great!

Hoooooooooooly crap.
In Toronto, we have a surfeit of overpriced, mediocre breakfasts, or breakfasts where there’s a couple of good elements and then something pretty disappointing. Everything in the Bay Breakfast (two sizes: Big and Small, plus or minus an egg) is well-​made, and tasty.
You get an egg prepared the way you like, a choice of ham/​peameal/​bacon/​regular sausage/farmer’s sausage/​one other option I can’t remember but I think exists, toast, home fries, and a pancake.
Do you know how hard it is to find a place in Toronto that offers this deceptively simple but satisfying combo? There’s always something missing or that you have to order on the side, frequently at a price/​amount you don’t want.
There were four of us. We arrived at around 9 on a Friday and with a small line, were given a 20 – 30 minute wait. We went for a walk and got back in about 20 and the table was waiting for us.
The server, this impossibly friendly and bright young lady, brought us menus and a pot of coffee ready to pour for any of us who wanted it. Almost nobody does this in Toronto. They ask and come back. She was ready. I never want any of my morning meals to begin any other way now. The coffee is fine — not outstanding like the best coffee I’ve ever had, but not weak for me.
My sunnyside egg was perfect. The bacon was excellent, the way I prefer it – chewy, but crispy. My friends highly recommend the farmer’s sausage. The toast was regular, but fine — not soggy.
THE HOME FRIES. So good. The potatoes were cooked through so they didn’t have a dense middle — you bite into creamy centres. They were prepared with cheese (?), mushrooms, and brilliantly, green onion. The green onion adds a fresh, bright, grassy flavour to the heavy, creaminess, panfried crispness of the home fries.
THE PANCAKE! Enormous. I always crave one pancake and I was thrilled. I ordered chocolate chips — heavenly, but of course, rich. They also have blueberries and an option to upgrade to real maple syrup from table syrup.
The dining room is small, and decorated with 1970/​80s nautical Canadiana. Serviceable — no real complaints. All our main dishes arrived together, with pancakes following shortly thereafter. Not perfect, but fine since we were happy to dig into our meals right away.
I might get sick of this place if I lived in town. But getting to go on a trip satisfied a great longing for a great, all-​options breakfast I really don’t easily find in Toronto. I seriously suggested pausing by the kitchen to call compliments to the cooks/​chefs (I know!). Maybe it was the two-​hour drive there. Maybe I was sleep-​deprived. But this was very satisfying.
