Nourish yourself

Fuel up early  ǀ  Grab and go  ǀ  Enjoy a family meal  ǀ  Dine as a team 

Prepare to indulge as you explore our community’s vibrant food scene, where locally owned restaurants, pubs, cafes, bakeries, and specialty food shops come together to serve something memorable for every taste.

Start your day with a local favourite
Ease into the morning with cinnamon bun pancakes and gluten-friendly options at Deja Vu Diner or classic eggs Benedict served with retro charm at Angel’s Diner. For something lighter, enjoy a smoked salmon bagel paired with artisanal house-roasted coffee at Mochaberry, or linger over all-day breakfast, fresh donuts, and warming chai at The Chai Place.

Eat well, even on the go
When adventure calls, grab a satisfying bite from Pia’s on Broadway, known for ham and brie sandwiches, mac and cheese, poutine, and other family-friendly favourites. Greystones Cafe tempts with flaky pastries, hearty sandwiches, and rich espresso, while Cafetown is a go-to stop for early meals, specialty coffee drinks, and refreshing smoothies.

You’ll also find inclusive options for every appetite. Plant.ed offers colourful smoothies, nourishing bowls, and flavourful plant-based cuisine, while Forage and The Craft Pizza Bar and Italian Kitchen feature delicious gluten-free and vegetarian choices.

Settle in for a relaxed family dinner
As the day winds down, gather around pub-style favourites like loaded nachos, wings, and giant pretzels at Taphouse Craft Beer + Kitchen. Enjoy a meal in a beautifully restored historic train station at Barley Vine Rail Co, experience fresh Japanese flavours at Sushi Kaika, savour authentic Indian cuisine at Coriander Kitchen, or treat yourself to thoughtfully prepared Jamaican dishes made from quality ingredients at Chillout Cove.

Enjoy a morning at the market

If it's Saturday, you won't want to miss the Orangeville Farmers' Market. Running every Saturday morning, you can find vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses and much more. 

Make time for play 

See and do  ǀ  Get creative  ǀ  Go sightseeing

Get active indoors

Who says you need to be outside to be active? Whether you book a tee time for the golf simulators at The Golf House, The Virtual Green, or Headwaters Racquet Club or aim for a strike at Bowling on Broadway, you will find lively indoor fun in Orangeville. Little ones with unbounded energy can stop by Recess Play, enjoy a sensory space at Inclusive Perspectives, or participate in Town of Orangeville’s drop-in activities.

Enjoy the outdoors

There are over 35 parks located throughout Orangeville, each one with its own features, including splash pads and skateboard and BMX parks. Be sure to include a visit to Island Lake Conservation Area to explore the Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail, climb and play at the natural playground or read along the Tales on the Trail storybook walk. 

Explore the arts

There are creative options for all ages in Orangeville. Get your hands dirty while making a treasured keepsake at Pottery Parties Studio. Learn a new technique by attending a class at Art with Jada, Maggiolly Art and Ricky Schaede Art Studio. If you prefer to appreciate rather than create, head to Dragonfly Arts on Broadway to see artists at work in their studios, catch a live show at Theatre Orangeville, or find a great read at Readers’ Choice or BookLore.
