Frequently asked questions about restaurants in Kingston
What time do restaurants in Kingston close?
Most Kingston kitchens close between 9 and 10 pm on weeknights and later on Fridays and Saturdays, and downtown pubs often keep the bar open well past the kitchen. Several restaurants close on Mondays. Hours change with the season, so check the listing or call before you go.
Do Kingston restaurants take reservations?
Most sit-down restaurants downtown take reservations online or by phone, and some only take phone bookings for large groups. Pubs and casual spots are often first come, first served. On summer weekends, book ahead.
Where can you eat on the Kingston waterfront?
The restaurants facing the water are on Ontario Street across from Confederation Park and the marina, plus the dining rooms in the two harbourfront hotels at 1 Johnson Street and 2 Princess Street. The waterfront section at the top of this page lists the ones on Thrive.
Are Williamsville restaurants open during the Princess Street construction?
The City of Kingston closed Princess Street to traffic between Division Street and Frontenac Street on April 20, 2026 for the Williamsville renewal, and there is no on-street parking inside the closure. The work closes the road, so check each listing's hours and call ahead about access. The City expects the road to reopen for the winter shutdown, with phase two starting in spring 2027.
Listings are maintained by 1000 Islands Thrive with details supplied by the businesses. Hours change seasonally; call before you go.
