Good location, very close to the City Cruise line. I love their dessert, pizza is very good too, but not many choices other than pizza.
Price is a bit more expensive than I thought. We spent appx. $87 including tips for two small pizza (10 inch), a small dessert (for 1 person), a small salad (for 1 person) and two can pop drink.

This is our second trip to Purple House for lunch and didn't disappoint! We had a couple of different pizzas and they were all good. Happy that they provide a vegan cheese for someone in our group who is lactose intolerant so nice they too could enjoy a pizza. A funky little gem in Gananoque with a simple but good menu.

The Purple House in Gananoque is a fantastic spot! The food is absolutely delicious, with fresh and flavorful dishes that are sure to satisfy. The service is top-notch – fast, friendly, and attentive. The staff goes out of their way to make your dining experience enjoyable. Keep in mind, they don't take reservations, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a table. Whether you're there for lunch or dinner, The Purple House is a must-visit.

Cute little place. , we ordered a pizza and salad, we starting to notice 3 tables getting their food before us. We asked the waitress, she said it is due to how busy we are, which had nothing to do with other tables being served before us that came after us. Karen friend came over to ask if we want it free salads we finally said no thank you it's too late. After about a half an hour she decided to just go ahead and bring us a salad anyway and said it was on the house finally after an hour and a half we got a pizza then we paid our bill and unfortunately didn't notice until we got back home that she charged us for the salad after all that.

Purple House
Thank you for taking the time to review. Though there was a wait the night you visited (and many brand new staff on) I did check the chit for the time and I definitely would have competed the meal had there been an hour and a half wait. We are happy to refund the amount for the salad you were charged for you can email me at thepurplehousecafe@gmail.com. We always want our guests to leave happy which is why I came to chat with you, unfortunately once you have left there is little we can do to remedy as situation. Hopefully we will see you again.

This is a busy restaurant, no reservations, unassuming and tucked in close to the water front. But WOW! If you like good vibes, eclectic gardens, outdoor wood-fired pizza and fantastic ambiance this place is for you. Be forewarned, this place fills up quickly and since they don’t take reservations you can give your name and number and you will be given an approximate time when you will be contacted. Their system works great.
The pizza is amazing. I had the special : rose sauce, pear, steak, Brie, mozzarella steak balsamic glaze - it was incredible. And my husband had the spicy sausage, their house favourite, and it also was incredible.
The owner happily mingles and helps the staff in what needs to be done. She even took our picture!
If you have the benefit of traveling through Gananoque go to the Purple House.

Charming spot with a cottage like patio. We liked the vibe with the picnic tables and pizza ovens. The pizza was quite good though they could use a bit more variety in the salads and sides. Overall pretty great for a casual family friendly dinner.

One of the highlights of our visit to Gananoque It had a magical evening ambiance, some most scrumptious healthy selections . and extremely pleasant wait staff including the manger /owner. We loved all our pizza selections on Friday night . Medium sized pizza dishes were more than plenty. The cheese cake special (apple and caramel compote) of the day was to die for. Heads up: This place is popular and you cannot not make a reservation. and you will probably get put on a wait list upon arrival at dinner time, but the hostess is very organized and will text you when space becomes available, so you can go for a walk by the river for a half hour rather than simply line up outside. Talented Live entertainment heard on patio on Saturday during the day.

This charming restaurant looks like a fairy tale house in the woods, including stone ovens to cook pizza in the lovely garden, the staff is very kind and friendly. We ordered pizza and salad to share and both were delicious. The purple house salad is definitely a must !!

The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was amazing, im not a pizza lover generally, but I ate pizza here and loved it. The crust was amazing. We had the special, which was cheese , bacon, strawberry, and vinegarette drizzle....it was the most delicious thing I ever tasted. The Cesar salad was great, and the cheese cake, topped with strawberries and rhubarb drizzle, was to die for!!! Go try this place out, you too will love it .

Busy but worth the wait! We enjoyed 2 fresh flavourful salads (Caesar, green) and shared a wood-fired margarita pizza - all delicious & fresh. Patio nestled in vegetation manages to be quiet & intimate despite being so close to the ferry dock.

Visiting Gananoque for the first time...We happened to drive by and caught a view of this quaint and lovely outdoor garden, with great patio lighting and plants everywhere. Pleasantly discovered it specialized in wood fired pizza and salads. From the service, the ambiance, the music, fresh herbs...and the incredibly delicious pizza...we were delighted with finding this place. I had the special, steak w/shrimp, garlic aioli, caramelized onion, basil and cheese. Wow, fantastic.

Great pizza and a dog-friendly patio. They do not take reservations. Parking on the street is free after 6pm. Friendly attentive staff. Kids loved the kids' pizza. 4 kinds of pizza came to the table... no leftovers!
We'll be back!

You must definitely need to try the pizza. It is cooked in the brick oven. I still cannot forget the taste.
It was a family lunch (3 people). We shared greek salad, and a pizza (three cheese pizza), glass of wine, and a beer. We paid around $90 (including tax and tip).
Nice patio, flowers, sun, everything was good.
You need to be careful if your kids are afraid of bees (because there are many of them) but none of them were interested in us (there were many flowers around).

Whimsical wildflower garden patio with wood-fire pizza ovens, near the waterfront action. Pretty historical house with indoor dining. Service was great, food portions generous and perfectly prepared. Also gluten free, and cauliflower crusts available.

A wonderful outdoor environment- beautiful gardens and ambience. Food was absolutely delicious. We were recommended this restaurant several times by locals. One person told us the salads were amazing.. and I ate a garden salad with delicious maple balsamic vinaigrette and my
partner had a tasty Caesar salad. The fire oven pizzas were also highly recommended and so we ordered a butter chicken pizza to split and it didn’t disappoint!! There are no reservations. You can eat in or out. If a beautiful day or night, I strongly suggest to eat outside amongst the organic homegrown veggie garden and the unique “wooden doors” fence!!
