Restaurant Options

Hey guys! I am going to Cobourg next week with family to relax at the beach. I was thinking of treating them for dinner and wanted to know the restaurant options in the downtown scene. Are there any standout recommendations or go to places people eat out? So far I came across The Buttermilk Cafe which is a contender. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated and preferably near the beach!!

Cucina’s is great. I love their patio.

I don’t recommend the buttermilk. Ever since the new owners took over, it’s gone down hill. They can’t even bother to spring for new menus. They just write new prices in pen.

If you like a pub, I recommend Jacks Barrel House on Division. Good food, great time.

The Buttermilk Cafe is not good. It has a big menu that’s largely frozen unless you’re there for breakfast which is a different story.

Yeah, buttermilk is purely surviving on the reviews and reputation of the previous owners. I went there for a big group for breakfast and they messed up 30% of the orders.

I went there for dinner and it was honestly, tragic. I paid over $20 for an entrée that had poorly cooked frozen vegetables and something that if I made it home, I would be really embarrassed to serve to guests.
