A new culinary initiative aimed at showcasing the city’s vibrant food and drink scene called ' Taste The Bay’ has been unveiled. The program invites visitors and locals to indulge in a wide array of local culinary delights, offering a "true taste of our diverse and flavourful northern offerings."
Throughout February and March, Tourism North Bay is promoting a ‘Winter Warmth’ prix fixe dinner menu curated by four local chefs. The meals cost between $35 to $60 (plus tax and gratuity).
Four local restaurants are participating:
- Average Joe's Eatery + Patio: a year-round lakefront restaurant serving up a spicy winter menu
- Cecil's Brewhouse + Kitchen is located downtown and serves up diverse dishes paired with their in-house brewed beer
- The Block Public House offers a farm-to-table eatery menu in a historic downtown setting
- Churchill’s Prime Rib House, steps from Sunset Park on Lake Nipissing is an award-winning fine-dining restaurant
Taste The Bay is a way to support our local businesses and offer an unforgettable culinary adventure for food lovers of all kinds says Tanya Bédard, Executive Director of Tourism North Bay.
"With the growing demand for unique and authentic travel experiences, ‘Taste The Bay’ provides an exciting opportunity to explore our city’s food scene in a new and interactive way.
“The ultimate goal for ‘Taste The Bay’ is to grow the number of culinary products in the city, to not only increase the number of participating restaurants but to also eventually feature a range of dining experiences, from restaurant tours to food and drink pairings, seasonal prix fixe events, cooking classes, chef-led experiences and so much more,” Bédard continued. “Taste The Bay promises to deliver something for every palate and aims to put North Bay on the map as a culinary destination while celebrating the rich food culture of the region.”
