Family-owned South Baymouth institution since 1987 with waterfront patio and famous fish & chips.
Pierside Restaurant has anchored South Baymouth's waterfront since 1987, making it one of Manitoulin Island's longest-running family-owned dining spots. Positioned directly across from the Chi-Cheemaun ferry dock on Water Street, it draws both locals and travellers arriving or departing by boat.
The menu leans into fresh, locally sourced seafood, with the Signature Fish & Chips standing as the restaurant's most-ordered dish. Alongside the seafood focus, the kitchen also serves breakfast, salads, sandwiches, and chicken entrees — a range that suits a casual midday stop as easily as a sit-down dinner.
The patio is a genuine draw: described as the largest on Manitoulin Island, it is pet-friendly and looks out over the harbour. For golfers routing through Manitoulin Island, Pierside makes a natural refuelling stop — particularly for those crossing via the Chi-Cheemaun ferry — offering a relaxed, waterfront setting with straightforward, crowd-pleasing food.
