Dianne's Fish Shack & Smokehouse

Dianne's sits on Ontario Street in Kingston's historic downtown, steps from Lake Ontario and Springer Market Square. Destination Ontario describes a colourful, cozy room where East Coast seafood meets Mexican fare, with a focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavours.

The restaurant's own menu highlights fresh-shucked oysters, signature lobster rolls, tacos and handcrafted margaritas, with gluten-free options for diners who need them. Visit Kingston, the city's tourism body, calls the fish chowder a signature dish and names the fresh lime margarita among the drinks.
