The Inn at Lake on the Mountain

What a truly wonderful discovery! The Inn is a fusion of French and Italian styles in an inspiring way that is all about dining detail. From the fois gras with peppercorns, to the best pudding au chomeur I've experienced yet... the owner's recipe that is OMG to die for. Olivia, our server, made the experience all the more pleasurable. She was the perfect balance of attentive without being intrusive. July 2025 Update: Still one of the best dining experiences going without the crazy prices. A great menu that’s sure to please. Danielle, the owner with French Canadian roots, is also a wonderful host. A definite recommendation if you’re near Lake on the Mountain (Picton).

We stopped in at The Inn at Mountain on the Lake and had a great experience. The place has a charming, vintage vibe that feels cozy and welcoming. We ordered the rigatoni and the beer-braised beef, along with a Caesar salad. The food was tasty, fresh, and well-prepared, and it came with a nice touch of complimentary bread (four pieces). The rigatoni was flavourful and satisfying without being heavy, and the beer-braised beef was very tender, flavourful, and you could really taste a subtle hint of the beer in the sauce — a nice touch that made it stand out. Service was good throughout — friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Prices felt fair for the quality and atmosphere. Overall, I’d recommend this spot to anyone visiting Picton and looking for a solid meal in a classic setting. Worth a visit!

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Lovely spot to sit outside and enjoy the view. Excellent local beers on tap and the food was great. Highly recommended!

This is one of our favorite dinners of the year ! We can't wait to come back asap. I'd recommend everyone to give them a try. We'll be back again soon!

This is an absolutely stunning place to stop when you're in Prince Edward County! The food is incredible and they have a great selection of beers from their brewery at the base of the mountain plus wines from the county. The staff are really accommodating, and were really helpful in making allergy and diet changes to the menu. It was a hard climb on my bike to get there, but stopping at the Inn will likely be a part of my future bike trips!

I go here almost every time I visit my grandparents (Bill and Norma) and it’s always a treat! The strawberry salad is DELICIOUS I could eat 10 in one sitting. My mom also had the summer corn gnocchi and it was soooo good I hope they bring it back this summer!! Obviously the parking situation can be tough considering the limited space in the area, so just be careful when crossing the street. We sat inside once and there was a tiny bit of a bee problem so I had to kill a few bees lol but overall always a great experience and my grandparents love it!

Had an amazing meal with a gorgeous view. My wife and I had amazing meals accompanied by great drinks. Highly recommend if nothing else for the view of both lakes will blow your mind. Lake on the Mountain is 60 meters above Lake Ontario ... just across the street. A great meal and a geographic oddity. Well worth your time and hard earned dollars.

My wife, son and I had dinner at the Inn on June 19, 2023. It was a beautiful 24C evening and we sat on the patio with great views of both lakes. Our server was very pleasant and courteous. We had asparagus soup, short ribs, strawberry salad with chicken and tourtiere. All of the food was very delicious and full of flavour. A chef came out and picked fresh herbs while we were there and when I asked was informed that they try to source all of the ingredients locally. I like that. I will definitely return. Very good food in a beautiful setting.
