Best French Canadian Restaurants in Niagara-on-the-Lake

The food at Lucie was excellent - with delightful surprises. The service was impeccable. I would definitely go back.

My husband and I dined here on Christmas Day for dinner. Wow, Wow, Wow is all I can say! An extraordinary meal from beginning to end. We were greeted by Hazel at the front of the restaurant with a lovely smile-she was so pleasant! Hazel escorted us to our table and then Alexa introduced herself as our server for the evening. Such a lovely lady! Thank you Alexa! Every staff member we encountered was very pleasant and professional. The dinner was exquisite. We both had the squash and pumpkin soup, followed by the best turkey dinner I think I have ever had and then we finished with the peppermint creme brule. We had a local Niagara white chardonnay to accompany our turkey dinner. My compliments to all the staff and chefs in the kitchen. We will be back for sure. NOTL is a relatively short drive down the road from our home in Oakville, Ontario. Do yourself a favour-make a reservation for dinner here-it is simply outstanding!

Here’s a clearer and more concise version: The meal was delightful from start to finish. We began with the escargot and pain au lait—both featuring incredible breads. The pain au lait was melt-in-your-mouth, while the escargot and its sauce were exceptional. For mains, we had the boeuf bourguignon and tournedos rossini. Both were delicious, but the tournedos rossini was the standout. The flavors were extraordinary, with foie gras on top, a delicate brioche underneath, and a perfectly cooked filet mignon in the center. Our server, who was of French origin, was attentive, warm, and lovely, adding a really nice experience. The ambience was gorgeous, and everything about the evening was lovely. A truly memorable experience! We didn’t go to the speakeasy afterwards because we were too full and had a snowy drive ahead of us, but look forward to trying it in the future!

We just had a wonderful girls Christmas dinner at this venue and it was our first time for all of us. The staff were fantastic, and the attention to detail was on point. We really loved the squash pasta, and the value for money was wonderful.! Definitely glad that we came here and I’m looking forward to coming back

Everything was amazing. Great atmosphere, good tasty food that came out hot. Cappuccino was delicious. Surprised by our complimentary mimosas for our anniversary. Staff were all wonderful.
