Scenic route from Scarborough to Port Perry - help?

[Muncher]

Want to take the kids to Port Perry for a day. Don't like the 401 route. I believe one can get there from Bloomington drive (?) in Newmarket or via the 48. Which one is more scenic and has washroom stops along the way?

Then please tell me how to get there? And what is a nice cheapish lunch place next to the water?

highway 7a to highway 21 west when you get to lakeridge rd turn left take lakeridge south to taunton (steeles ave) turn right and go west after 20 to 30 mins you will hit hwy 48 (markham rd)

the trip from Scarborough isnt that long (45 - 60 mins) you shouldn't need to stop
