PICNIC is now a downtown Orillia Mexican cantina from the Common Hospitality group, with tacos, tostadas, oysters, seafood, tequila, mezcal, wine, and weekly specials. Mushroom + Manchego bridges the old PICNIC to the new room, while chef Joel Bennett gives the relaunch a named kitchen lead.

Brewery Bay Food Co is a 1993 downtown Orillia pub now folded into Couchiching Craft Brewing's taproom, pairing a dozen local taps with comfort food that still feels specific: ale-battered Fish & Chips, Smash Mac Burger, Pitachos, vegetarian swaps, and the Sunshine Cookie Skillet.
