My girlfriend and I are looking for a nice restaurant in Canada for dinner around Christmas. Any suggestions?

Preferably somewhere with a good wine menu, and definitely someplace “fancy”

where in canada?

The Keg, although a chain, is pretty upscale and is really good. The one in the Embassy Suites in Niagara Falls has a great view of the falls. Decent wine list, but nothing crazy.

If you plan on going to Toronto, I know quite a few good places. NF, I’m not so familiar with.

honestly I’d be surprised if there is much good in the Clifton Hill/Niagara Falls area that isnt in a hotel or casino.

Unfortunately for as much as I’m up in Toronto, I haven’t been to that many upscale restaurants there. I usually end up spending too much money on fancy hotel rooms, booze, and shopping to want to be going to any really upscale restaurants too.

We were looking at either Niagara on the Lake or Niagara Falls. Toronto could be a possibility, but the other two locations are the ones we had in mind.

Yeah me too.

We stayed at the sheraton centre hotel in toronto this past year.

There are 3 excellent restaurants within WALKING distance of the hotel.

We ate at one little italian restaurant, the place was really nicely decorated with a red and black martini theme. Nice dim lighting. Real nice place. Excellent italian. It was under 15 bucks a dish.

There was another seafood joint right across the street from the side of the hotel, again very tasty.

We were going to go to the keg, it looked really nice, but it was really expensive (45 bucks a plate or so).

Just get a room on priceline in toronto, you can walk to a ton of realy good restaurants.

For a casual lunch, there are several irish pubs that serve really good bar sandwiches and stuff.

Don’t bother with niagara falls, on. We went there last year, and went to that rainforest cafe place. Wicked overpriced, and the food was really sub par. Tons of screaming kids everywhere. You pay for the rainforest decorations when you go there.

Same deal with all those restaurants on clifton hill, they are all shit and way overpriced.

If you get a room on priceline, you can stay in toronto for like 50 bucks a night at a real nice 3-4 star hotel. If you read up on tripadvisor, you can park your car at one of the city owned lots for less than half the price of the hotel lot. When we stayed at sheraton center, the city lot is directly across the street from the hotel valet lot.
