Welcome to Loondocks, an outstanding casual fine dining experience in Burlington with industry leading standards for food and service quality. Owned and operated by husband and wife team Chef Kevin and Maitre D Brittany, Loondocks is proud to be rated one of the best restaurants in the region. The seasonal menu showcases creative Canadian cuisine made fresh, from scratch, using only the highest quality ingredients. Loondocks also features a unique and extensive wine list, a creative seasonal cocktail menu, and a great selection of local craft beers. The cozy cottage atmosphere is inspired by Kevin and Brittany's Muskoka roots, and you can also enjoy a stunning rooftop patio surrounded by herb and vegetable gardens.
History: In 2012, having grown up in Muskoka and sharing a deep love for the region, Kevin and Brittany founded a brand-new restaurant in the heart of Port Carling, Ontario and named it "Loondocks" after the local bird whose beautiful calls echo the lakes at night. They created a fresh new destination offering quality casual fine dining to both cottagers and tourists. They received overwhelming support, including articles in the local media, as they became known for great service and outstanding quality at a fair price. Some of their awards include Where.ca's "Best New Restaurants in Canada 2012”, Dirona’s "Achievement of Distinction in Fine Dining", Culture Trip's “Muskoka’s Best Restaurant", and Trip Advisor's "Certificate of Excellence". In 2018, to be closer to family, Kevin and Brittany moved Loondocks to a beautiful new space at Appleby Village in Burlington. The entire Loondocks team is very pleased to be serving this wonderful community, and proud to offer their award-winning fine dining experience to the residents and visitors of Burlington and beyond!
Loondocks has been awarded "2024 Canadian Gourmet Restaurant of the Year" by the Travel & Hospitality Awards! Thank you to the judges, and more importantly to our hardworking team for this amazing accomplishment! View the full press release here: PRESS RELEASE
