Niagara-on-the-Lake - They have great wood fired pizza, a delectable Lindt milk chocolate creme brûlée, and the lemon ricotta cheesecake with raspberry coulis is incredible! (and we're not typically dessert people!)

Wainfleet - This is our go-to restaurant for take out. It doesn't look like much but a fantastic chef works in this tiny motel kitchen and he pumps out delicious meals for such reasonable prices.
Our favourites are the pastas (usually something angel hair with a cream sauce, a meat, and all the best toppings) and the burger and fries (for $13!). They also have a number of daily and weekly specials.
Check their hours as they are sometimes closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Parks & Nature
Niagara Falls - Great hiking trail and bouldering spot along the Niagara River. Trees, rocks, moss, water: it's amazing! This is the perfect place to hike on a hot day because the trees provide excellent shade cover. This hike involves many stairs, both natural and man-made. There is also a large park with picnic tables, washrooms, and spectacular views. (Niagara Glen is also known as Niagara Gorge)

Niagara Falls - Viewing Niagara Falls is a must-do if you've never seen it. There are pricey boat tours, behind the falls attractions, etc. available.
