Aunt Gussie’s Country Dining & Delectables

Delicious food – served by caring staff members in a warm, comfortable, atmosphere – reliably and consistently. That’s why Aunt Gussie’s has been a landmark family business on Highway 21, at the south of Grand Bend, for several generations. A wide-ranging menu satisfies any appetite and pocketbook – in a private booth, by the fireplace, at a large table – maybe in the sunroom. Enjoy an intimate dinner with wine, a quick bite, or a family celebration. We have it all – including our famous coffee and legendary baking!

Open year round. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Licensed. Group bookings and bus tours welcome.

Purdy’s At The Bend

Purdy’s began retailing back in the earliest of days, selling fish door to door with a fish monger’s cart. Purdy’s fish market space was added in the early 70s, and today is a quaint little specialty shop, offering the finest fresh lake fish, imported fish, finest seafood, gourmet sauces, spice rubs, sea salts, condiments and artisan bread.

Purdy’s is also a popular dockside dining spot with views of the colourful boats in the marina and along the Ausables River and of course Grand Bend’s famous sunsets to compliment your meal!
