Canadian Restaurants near Fonthill, ON

“Best dining experience in the region.

Had dinner here for my wifes birthday, and they exceeded our expectations.

We had scallops and tartare to start. Bison was on special for our mains. And crème brûlée for dessert.

First off. The scallops were unbelievable. Closest dish we’ve ever had to dining at Langdon Hall (Ranked Canada’s fifth best restaurant). Hats off to the chef

The Tartare was also amazing. Great presentation, flavors and portions.

For the Bison mains. It was plated over a mushroom risotto…I truly feel bad for anyone who doesn’t get to try this dish. My wife ate so slow, saying “I don’t want this meal to end”. It was THAT good.

Dessert was lovely, a nice treat from the restaurant for her birthday.

We had some specialty drinks, martinis and espresso martinis. All made well.

Overall, the service is top notch, open concept kitchen creates a really cool and intimate environment, and the food was amazing, with good portions. This definitely isn’t the cheapest place, but you get what you pay for here.

We can’t wait to be back!

*2024 Returned for our anniversary and was amazed again!

**2025 Returned for a third anniversary and unfortunately it was not as amazing as it used to be. Service is still top notch. This is still a top tier restaurant in the region but 4/5 in it’s category of fine dining.“

“We came in as a party of six for a birthday dinner had a great experience. Our server Brie was excellent. there was a bit of a hiccup with one of the appetizers, which was quickly resolved. Great experience good food great atmosphere. We will, of course come again.“

“Enjoyed a fabulous event-Caps, Corks and Forks! A wonderful celebration of student achievement at a first class institution. We were most impressed. Exceeded expectations!“

“Service was amazing. You are well taken care of. I had the steak frites. The steak was very salty and on a bed of some bread and cheese that was soggy so for a meal choice like that, it really could have been better in terms of the taste and presentation. Beautiful views but can only give this a 3/5 of maybe a 2.5/5“

“Classic service, amazing food, great atmosphere, it’s always a great evening at Wellington“

“Great clubhouse sandwiches and their Hamburgers are yummy“

“Went there for a friends birthday! Got the waffle fries and some wings and had a few drinks ! It was all fantastic and in the back you could play pool which was nice . You can also watch sports games on TV. I feel there something there for everyone! Service was friendly and fast aswell . We definitely will be back 🙂“

“What a great place for a venue. Cant say enough. Roberto, Ashley and staff were absolutely wonderful. Food was fan-fricken-tastic. Great comments by all who attended the bridal shower for my daughter.“

“A friend (can't have gluten or egg) and I (vegan) went last night. It's a beautiful place with a couple options for both of us. Food was tasty, but the service was impeccable! Our server was Molly, who was so lovely and genuinely wanted to make sure we had a great dinner and was incredibly helpful - she's a huge asset to their team! My friend and I will definitely go back.“

“Amazing experience . I would recommend the 5 courses tasting . It was out of its world .“

“Went here with a Senior Citizen trip of about 46 people in June. Wondering what to expect being a restaurant attached to a motel and a bowling alley! We got there a little early but did call ahead. The mgr lept to the challenge and got things ready for us. The Wait staff was EXCELLENT. It was a buffet with simple entrees, salad, rolls. Serve your own coffee, tea. We did not hear the bowling alley. The rest. is well decorated, clean, nice furniture. The meat loaf could have been more well done. Dessert was a huge board of assorted greats! Don't pass this place by.“

“Food was very good, tables are a bit small. I’m in a power wheelchair. As I was leaving and trying to hold the door myself as I exited, to push bar on the door removed some of my skin. It put a bit of a damper on the afternoon. Manager patched me up. It would be appreciated if the door was powered.“

“Came here for a work party, great service and incredible food!“

“Came in last night with our family and had a pleasant experience with our server Hanina! She catered to our needs and was able to help out with my daughters' gluten allergy. In addition the whole restaurant was very clean and dirty tables were quickly taken care of. We'll definitely be coming back.“

“Went to Mt bellies last night for the first time I was overwhelmed as soon as we walked in party of 5 we were seated immediately the waitress brought over menus and water she was so friendly the meal came quick and hot food was amazing and Christine was second to none ty 10 out of 10“

“Overall I'd say it's pretty good, I got a spicy salmon roll and it had hikory sticks in it instead of tempura bits, and it was rolled somewhat loose, it also doesn't come with a spicy sauce on top. They don't have a spicy tuna roll except for a premium roll that's like 13 bucks or so. It's also kinda weird that they call their Tobiko caviar. My girlfriend liked the roll, will eat again.“

“the pies they make are AWESOME“

“Friendly atmosphere and the food is good“

“I had the opportunity to dine at papas grill and I loved it I loved everything about it . the food was absolutely authentic and delicious . the owner was as sweet as can be .I would 100% reccomend this little gem of a restaurant to everyone it's amazing“

“Always a fast, fresh feast of breakfast goodness. Nice place, good staff, quiet on the noise spectrum. Well priced with good portions.“

“Has been a long time staple in St Catharine's. Always good food and service.

I was meeting with coworkers and meeting for them first time in person. We had the table way over the time we should have and the waitress never batted an eye. She gracefully continued to serve us even though it was busy.

Vegetarian options: Yes

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely“

“I totally enjoy the atmosphere and the welcoming new people have when they come to Dance on a Friday night with the Latin group. Beginners are always made to feel welcome all ages all sizes all colours and all levels. The best of everything.🤗🌺💃“

“First time and it won’t be our last! Tasty food and lots of it. Can’t wait to try the eat in experience. Super quick and friendly take out !“

“fantastic service and the food was great. we were a group of 6 and everybody enjoyed their meals and the service/atmosphere. The weather was too hot and humid to sit outside but we did go out to the patio for photos. The view is nice and the patio is sheltered. We'll have to go back and sit outside on a day that the temperature is more comfortable!“

“Fantastic service , great food, friendly organized staff! Will definitely go back 👏🏻“

“Food is always terrific but tonight I had the most spectacular cream of mushroom soup I’ve ever tasted in my life! And I’m a soup critic! Keep up the good work.“
