You'll love taking a taste of Northumberland. From organic produce to the most eclectic cuisine, Northumberland takes pride in an abundance of culinary choices. Local restaurants are delighted to use locally-grown produce, maple syrup, cheese, bison, beef and pork to create savoury dishes. You will find casual, bistro to fine dining restaurants with cuisine inspired from scrumptious Canadian cookery to the aromatic world flavours of the Mediterranean, Asia and Europe.
Many friendly cafes, coffee houses and tea rooms can be found nestled within historic buildings in the downtown areas of Cobourg, Port Hope, Brighton and Campbellford while long standing ma and pa family dining restaurants dot the countryside.
The Kawartha Northumberland Butter Tart Tour starts here, and be sure to visit multi-award winning Betty's Pies and Tarts, near Cobourg. These tarts come plain, with raisins or pecans but most will agree they are decadent and oh so yummy.
Sample or take home hand-crafted brew available at Northumberland's cideries and breweries too.
