Where to eat in Sylvan Lake

Sylvan Lake's restaurants split into two easy-to-walk clusters plus a handful of places a short drive out. The beach strip along Lakeshore Drive is where the patios are: 2nd Wind Brewery & Eatery brews its own beer, Bukwildz runs a lakefront bar with a distillery, Chief's Pub & Eatery has been serving from its outdoor deck for more than 21 years, Sun of a Beach has a rooftop patio over the main beach, Rusty Kage Smokehouse & Grill smokes its meats in-house, and The Big Moo scoops Foothills Creamery ice cream a few steps from the sand. Lakeshore Cafe and Sweet Home on the Lake Bakery & Café cover coffee, pastries and gelato on the same street.

One block up, downtown 50 Street and 46 Street hold the independents: Cozy Kiwi Cafe for breakfast and dog-friendly patio seating, China Diner, Bamboo Hut Southeast Asian Cuisine for Thai, Cambodian and Vietnamese dishes, Spice Junction for curries and naan, White Frog Cafe roasting Colombian coffee inside the historic Old Stone House, the non-profit Timber Coffee Co., and Party Chef Market and Kitchen with farm-to-table groceries and cooking classes.

Away from the water you will find LOKAL Kitchen on 33 Street (open daily from breakfast through dinner), Lodge 43 with the largest craft beer selection in town, the family-owned The Lighthouse Community Eatery, Roundabout Eatery on Highway 11A, and the familiar chains near Beju Industrial Drive and Stonewater Bay: Boston Pizza Sylvan Lake, Sushi Hon, MR MIKES SteakhouseCasual - Sylvan Lake, Tacoz N Treatz and Domino's Pizza.
