The Canoe Beach Café offers an eclectic menu that includes beef, chicken and fish burgers, along with chicken and souvlaki pitas, homemade poutine, chicken fingers, onion rings, ice cream and a variety of drinks and slushies.
The café is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. View the menu online at www.canoebeachcafe.ca.
