The Port Credit waterfront is one of the Greater Toronto Area’s most beautiful lakeside destinations. Located near the historic lighthouse on the Mississauga waterfront, the area features a boardwalk and trail, lakeside parks, and a variety of other attractions like the Ridgetown Freighter, a massive retired Great Lakes ship that sits at the mouth of the Port Credit River.
The area has now evolved into a premier neighbourhood for shopping, dining, and entertainment, with over 50 restaurants, cafés, and dessert spots along the main street.
For the next time you visit, here are six of our favourite lakeside restaurants and dessert spots.
