73 of the 98 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (15), burger (15) and sandwich (9). Relative to the rest of the country Thunder Bay is unusually strong on pancake, american and breakfast — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

Places of a similar size — Langford (132), Airdrie (132), Penticton (133) and Leduc (133) — average 17% accommodation. Thunder Bay runs at 25%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 12 of the 131 venues in Thunder Bay carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
