Great for happy hour
Charming

In the heart of downtown Orillia. Part old-world tapas bar, part old-town grocer and deliciously fun.

Chef Joel's cuisine is inspired by the tapas bars of the Basque country (Southern France & Northern Spain) with a focus on seafood, preserved meats and raw foods. Join us for lunch, dinner or snacks & drinks 7 days a week.

Shop the provisions shop for ‘pic up & go’ snacks. You’ll also find steaks from The Common Stove and a curated selection of over over 75 wines and beers in our bottleshop.

Our golf group of 4 women always looks forward to our year end dinner at Picnic. It is our way of winding things up for the season. We drive an hour to get there and it is always worth the effort. Great food, great service and great ambiance.

I get the "picnic table" tables unfortunately that is the only seating for more than 2 people. Would suggest putting/or offering thick seat cushions for those tables

Food wasn't up to what I'm used to at Picnic. Nothing specific; just underwhelming.
