Where to eat in Niagara Falls ?

Before setting out on a road trip, I like to put together a list of recommended restaurants.

It saves me time searching once I get there and, more importantly, it helps me avoid tourist traps. 

If you're like me, and you're planning a Canadian vacation, more specifically to Niagara Falls, don't hesitate to take note of these 5 addresses. 
 

#1. Tide & Vine Oyster House

• Budget  $$-$$$
• Address: 3491 Portage Road
• Phone: 905-356-5782
• Website: www.tideandvine.com
   

Seafood lovers take note, this place is a must for you!

Everything is fresh and extremely tasty, not to mention the service which is simply impeccable. 

The house specialty is, of course, the fresh oysters, but the sesame-crusted albacore tuna and Kat's seafood chowder are also outstanding!

Reservations are highly recommended, as the place is quite small, and very charming! 

You'll definitely want to spend a good part of the evening here.
