For gourmet food with a twist, look no further than Syndicate Restaurant in St. Catharine's, brought to you by the same team that created Taps, a popular craft brewery.

Located in Niagara Falls, The Kasbah Mediterranean Qsine offers patrons a hearty selection of food the Mediterranean is famous for. Dip into a bowl of hummus or dine on falafels, whether it's inside the restaurant or outside on their sunny patio.

Those who love breakfast feel right at home at The Blue Star Restaurant. Come in hungry and walk out full thanks to generous helpings of chocolate chip pancakes ($6.75), French toast and bacon or pork sausage ($4.99), and omelettes with three extra large eggs, toast and coffee ($7.50-$8.25). The restaurant menu also includes sandwiches, wraps, meat dishes, burgers, soups, starters, salads and even low-carb options.

For Italian dining in a casual setting, grab a table at Don Marco's, where the menu overflows with Nonna-style cooking. Sauce is born from whole plum tomatoes and then poured over generous helpings of pasta, pizza and other delicious Italian delights.
