Atmosphere is second to none – the view is the best in Bala for sure. Martin and Cassandra are such gracious hosts – they made our experience memorable. Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes!"

  • "The Chefs made every course truly unique."

    "We had the most amazing 8 course dinner on New Years Eve. The Chefs made every course truly unique with outstanding flavours and presentation. The restaurant and bar staff were equally outstanding to insure that the evening was perfect. Can't wait till next year."

  • "Absolutely exquisite food!"

    "Absolutely exquisite food. When you really want to treat yourself to a culinary delight for dinner – you should go here. You will not be disappointed. We had the beef tenderloin, the seafood linguini, and the sticky pudding for dessert. You won’t find anywhere better."

    "My wife and I along with our daughter and partner had an amazing dinner at lakeside yesterday. Louie, our server, was fantastic, warm and welcoming. The salmon was the best we have ever had, loved the topping and fresh veggies. Will be back soon for dinner and dessert – that you can count on."

  • "Absolutely amazing place!"

    "An absolutely amazing place with extraordinarily delicious food that went above my expectations – the starters, the soup, and the desert. I highly recommend the sautéed shrimp – it was better than any other place I have been to in the GTA. The dessert was decadent and irresistible. I’ll definitely be going there again and again."

  • "The staff are attentive and friendly."

    "Good service, nice setting, and very good food. The soup specials tend to be very good and they vary them quite a bit. The shrimp and scallop bake appetizer is scrumptious and the seafood linguini is excellent. The staff are attentive and friendly."

  • "If you haven't stopped in, I recommend it."

    "Lakeside Bala is a real treat in the Muskoka neighbourhood. It fits the bill of being a true restaurant as it does focus on the dining experience. The owners have been relentless in developing an atmosphere that my parents would love for a quiet dinner and so would I to take friends or family to enjoy a good meal with wine. It’s a perfect date night destination among other things."
