If you’re a local foodie, you’ll want to add these two Niagara restaurants to your bucket list. Canada’s 100 Best just released their list of the top restaurants for 2024.
150 judges were asked to vote for restaurants based on the complete dining experience. This included service, décor, the depth of the cellar — and, of course, food quality.
While many top-named Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver spots made the list – two Niagara treasures were also entered into the races. Restaurant Pearl Morissette and Oddbird. stood out for their mouthwatering food and amazing service.
