Easter 2026 is here! The Localist knows that sometimes it can be tough to find the best foodie places open on public holidays. Not to worry, we love to make your holidays smooth, easy, and stress-free. Here is our list of Granite Belt foodies open over Easter 2026.
- Please note: Wineries and breweries without dining will be closed on Good Friday, so call beforehand to avoid disappointment. Many will then be open for the rest of Easter.
- Remember to book your restaurant/café tables and wine tastings in advance.
- Check individual businesses for their trading hours and availability. This list is correct to the best of our knowledge… fingers crossed we’ve got it right!
