We have tried most of the local restaurants and eateries and the selected group below have been the most consistent in terms of service, value and culinary innovation. Click on the restaurant links for more information.

"Chef Frank Dodd has been chef at Hillebrand Estates winery since 2006 and I love what he does there."  states James Chatto, and I agree. At this time Hillebrand is our finest winery restaurant. Frank is, in my view one of the top chefs in Canada. 2010 Toronto Gold Medal Plates winner, Chef Frank Dodd showcases locally inspired cuisine made with ingredients from the bounty of Niagara Wine Country and Winemaker Craig McDonald pairs them with wines made from grapes that grow in the same soil.
Hillebrand winery restaurant
DeLuca's Restaurant, situated in Garrison Village approximately 15 minutes from us, is Tony Deluca's recently opened "Bistro". Tony features farm to table cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal availability and to quote, "Celebrates the rythm of the Seasons". The menu is exciting and reasonably priced. We think it features Tony's elegant cuisine at its best. Reservations definately.

The Stone Road Grille owned and operated by Perry and Heidi Johnson is another favourite "Bistro" style restauraunt. House made breads, artisinal cheeses and seasonal, local fruit compliment their ever-changing menus. Specializing in regional food with a classical french influence and Niagara's best wines. Prices are in the mid range - excellent value for the quality of food and service. Reservations recommended.

Stone Road Grille
This is Tony Deluca's informal Italian eatery. Tony was the Executive Chef with Hillebrand and together with his business partner Monique they opened the Old Winery. The restaurant features a wood burning pizza oven, fresh pastas, daily fish dishes, good vegetarian options and has an informal relaxed atmosphere. It is reasonably priced and good value. Features an excellent patio and is an excellent "drop-in' restaurant.

Old Winery Restaurtant
Catherine O'Donnell is the Chef Proprietor of Willow Cakes & Pastries. A top graduate from George Brown College and previously of the King Edward Hotel, Toronto.  Cathy is dedicated to her art. Willow is a neat little cafe/patisserie - well worth dropping into for a great cup of coffee and a morning croissant or an afternoon dessert. Cathy is a good pal and a fabulous pastry chef!

Willow Cakes & Pastries
The Olde Angel Inn is the oldest "Pub" in Ontario. The building dates shortly after the war of 1812 when the town was burnt by the retreating American  army. It is the closest to a real British pub and the menu reflects this tradition.  Reasonably priced and the best fish and chips in town  (pretty reasonable draft local beer as well). It is good value for good hearty food and good friendly service - it is well used by the locals.  I always recommend foregoing dessert and popping across the square to "Cows" ice cream parlour and trying, arguably, one of the best ice creams in the country - they are really excellent.
