The original Emma's pictured in photo above in the 1900's was known as the Estaminet Restaurant. Emma Byrens and her husband George started
the restaurant in 1910. In 1943 Emma Byrens celebrated her 70th birthday at the Estaminet. Emma ran the well known establishment until it was sold.
It has since changed hands several times up until 1992 when it became known as Emma's Back Porch Restaurant. This is the longest running restaurant in Ontario.
The full story of Emmas is told on our tour including all the ghostly goings on at the restaurant, upstairs where the haunted mirrors are inthe Water Street Cooker.

Located in the kitchen, this is the ghostly salad spinner
(red bucket)that has many times started spinning on its own, even though staff
would need 2 hands to turn it and start it up.
Many staff and visitors have seen and experienced ghostly things including faces appear in Emma's and
especially down in the basement where the family of Emma's ghosts usually are.
One person, Jeremy Jones-worked at Emma's 2 years ago and said he saw faces appear on the freezer doors, looking
all frozen. He also said windows would get fogged up with a misty breath on the windows, even though no one else was
around. Very Spooooky!
Ghost Walks start at the front Veranda at Emma's Back Porch and run from June to November.
*Do not call Emma's since we are the only ones selling tickets and tour information.
