Les Gayne, owner of the Norsemen Restaurant, recalls the story of a recent guest telling of how he learned about the restaurant.  "The fellow was leaving his home in San Francisco, rushing to catch a cab to the airport when a friend calls to him from across the street, asking him where he was going.
He yells back, "Canada."
"But where?" his friend calls back.
"Ontario, north of Toronto, near Huntsville," came the answer.
"The Norsemen, go to the Norsemen Restaurant," his friends calls over.

The Bar and the Other Fireplace

Les manages both the restaurant and the secluded and peaceful cottage resort situated on Walker Lake.   He enjoys his wines and personally chooses an impressive array of premium quality examples from all over the world, to complement the superb cuisine.

A Comfortable Dining Area on the Porch

"We love to show off and I want people to have such an enjoyable evening that they will want to return with their friends," says Les.

The Norsemen Restaurant is also a great place for destination weddings. Imagine a Muskoka wedding at the Norsemen Restaurant on Walker Lake. Your special day would include a fantastic evening of fine dining and dancing in a historic lodge with stone fireplaces and wood beamed cielings. A warm and cozy ambience just like you were in your own home. If you have your ceremony here, you could get married on the dock with the beautiful lake as your backdrop, or inside in front of one of our cozy fireplaces. If you plan to have a destination wedding, why not make it at the Norsemen Restaurant and Resort in Muskoka.
