Battle Results! Best Downtown Restaurant Battle: Oakville vs. Port Credit
Published October 26, 2018 at 4:24 pm
Have you been in the mood for an exceptional night on the town and haven’t been quite sure where to go? Since there are great downtown areas throughout the GTA, the choice as to where to dine can be a tough one—especially when every area has incredible restaurants.
While Oakville’s downtown core speaks for itself, it’s actually a little harder to call the Square One area Mississauga’s downtown (even though it technically is). Because the City Centre area—vibrant though it may be—isn’t quite as walkable as downtown Oakville, we’ve decided to bring Port Credit to the competition.
Both Mississauga and Oakville are known for their respective food scenes and both offer a ton of commendable downtown options—but only one city can have the absolute best hotspots.

Oakville, a small but sophisticated town with an enviable food scene, offers a ton of options when it comes to downtown restaurants. Some hot spots to check out? The long-standing and beloved Paradiso, the posh and delicious Seasons, the creative and reliably tasty Noble Bistro, the charming and relatively new Borgo Antico and our number one pick, the classic and high end Oliver’s Steakhouse. You can’t really go wrong with any of these joints when you want to spend a night downtown.
