Jeanette’s Guide to the Niagara Region
Restaurants - Favourite places I've actually been to
Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner - these are my favourite places I've eaten at. Please reach out and let me know if you've had a great local restaurant experience not on this list. Thanks!
Farm-to-table with excellent wines and service. This is a romantic spot in the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake. The outdoor patio is tucked down the lane right off the main strip. I highly recommend you make reservations. ~ps. I don't know why the old location in Port Dalhousie is listed with the picture as the restaurant is now located on Queen Street in NOTL, but the website takes you to all the right information.

On the Canal in Port Colborne, this is a nice spot to eat very good food after cycling the Greater Niagara Circle Route, boat watching, fishing at the nearby marina, or shopping West Street. The interior is tiny/cozy but there is a patio if you want more space.

I keep coming back to this place. Fun, cozy with a tiny outdoor patio directly across from PAC (The Performing Arts Centre) - giant burgers, great fries - there are still things on the menu I want to try.

Family run restaurant right at the Allanburg Bridge (Bridge 11) and on the Greater Niagara Circle Route. Plenty of parking. Made to order so you will have to wait. Just order the Lunch Plate. The samosas are yum.

Full disclosure - I work for Niagara College - but I have had Benchmark food at breakfast meetings and I have attended some CFWI events. The food and the wines are excellent. The campus is beautiful with a conservation area, ponds and trails, retail greenhouse, retail brewery store, winery, and Benchmark Restaurant. Give it a try!

Great views! Sit on the patio and listen to a guitarist strum and smell the barbecue cooking up something delicious. Chat with your partner or stare out over the Niagara River and watch the sailboats. Plenty of indoor seating as well. There is some free parking if you're lucky. This place usually closes up at 9pm. Great food here!

Great salt water pool with small hot tub. I love the hotel and plenty of free parking. Services are the usual fare but I found everyone had their appointments at the same time so it seemed crowded and the therapists all said their goodbyes to each other while you tried to navigate around them to get back to the change rooms. My aunt thought it was too rustic and would have preferred a more modern setting. Just our personal opinions. There is also an outdoor heated grotto...it is okay.
