Lakeside Dining
Whether you pull up by boat and dine on the dock or walk in to eat inside of a cozy family-owned eatery, the restaurants around Lake Anna present gorgeous views that seem to make your handcrafted meal taste even better. And if the scenic backdrop isn’t enough to draw
you in, how about some entertainment while you dine? Partake in a little competition during your meal with lawn games like giant Connect Four or cornhole. Many restaurants on the lake also host events throughout the year that are perfect for the whole family like trivia nights or live music.
Flavors to Savor
Lake Anna provides an array of dining options that cater to every type of palate. Enjoy succulent seafood by ordering a fresh catch or try it all with a seafood platter. Chow down on award-winning, slow-cooked barbecue or devour a delicious, juicy burger with a side of fries. And for those seeking a taste of Italian classics, local pizzerias serve up piping hot pies with tasty toppings.
Lake Anna restaurateurs also pride themselves in knowing exactly what’s going on your plate. The region’s chefs strive to keep the food they serve fresh and natural, meaning they aim to use locally sourced ingredients, from the fruits and vegetables to the beef, seafood and chicken.
Sweet Treats
No meal at Lake Anna is complete without indulging in a decadent dessert. Start your day with fresh-baked muffins, pastries or donuts from top-notch local pastry shops. Or tickle your sweet tooth after dinner with piquant homemade pies and cheesecakes.
Of course, one of the best ways to cool off after a long day on the lake is with frozen treats. Enjoy photo-worthy ice cream cones, milkshakes or old-fashioned custard. No matter which dessert you chose to dive into, each bite will be a sweet reminder of the culinary delights that Lake Anna has to offer.
