Quaint and friendly- this is downtown Port Perry.

Add cobble stone streets and it's the closes thing to Olde Montréal this side of the provincial border.
This central hub to the wider area boasts 5-star restaurants, brewery's, artisan food shops, eclectic art galleries, yoga and fitness studios, theatre of performing arts, clothing and shoe boutiques and much, much more.
