Cozy atmosphere, fantastic food (even the presentation on the plate was well done) and the best service. Owner Zoran is top notch. Definitely a place to go in The Falls! P.S. my husband said the steak was excellent!
Recommended dishes: Baklava, Garden Salad, Cevapi with Pita Kaymek and Salad

I went for dinner with my husband and we had the best time! The Volcanic Mediterranean menu was completely new to us, but the owner kindly guided us through the best options. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Prices were very reasonable, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Additionally, their patio is absolutely gorgeous, perfect for a summer evening. We’ll definitely be coming back!

If you're Serbian, you’ve probably already heard of this place. For others curious to try Serbian cuisine, it’s a tucked-away spot in Old Niagara Falls that serves up authentic dishes, especially if you're in the mood for meat-heavy options.
The food itself was good, not amazing, but well-cooked and flavorful. The service was quite slow, which might work for some but felt a bit too laid-back for my taste. Prices are on the higher end and you're definitely paying more for the food than the overall experience or atmosphere.
Important to note: it's cash only which can be inconvenient if you're not expecting it.
All in all, it was worth trying once just to say I did but I personally wouldn’t go out of my way to return.

A Hidden Gem with Incredible Food and Heartfelt Hospitality Café Nautica is an absolute treasure in Niagara Falls! The platter and salad were both amazing — fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the care and passion in every bite. The chef, who is also the owner, goes above and beyond and clearly puts his heart into the food. It’s rare to find a spot where the hospitality matches the quality of the meal, but Café Nautica nails both. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable and delicious experience!
I really loved my time at Cafe Nautica. I was in the area for a while, and went back a second time. Great atmosphere and vibe. Was really well taken care of, and the food was amazing. A great hidden gem in the much more quiet old downtown of Niagara Falls. Definitely recommend for a great experience away from the more touristy areas. Would definitely love to eat here again when back in the area.
I have been going to Nautica each time I am in Niagara since it opened its doors 21 years ago. Zoran the owner is amazing and knows what hospitality is all about. His experience shows!!! On June 27th he was preparing for his 21 year anniversary celebrations and myself along with 2 small children went by without a reservation very hungry after driving in from Toronto. He welcomed us and took us in with open arms. He made us 3 delicious meals and we felt like we were at home ! I would highly recommend Nautica. Thank you Zoran and cheers to the next 21 years ahead !

This restaurant was truly the highlight of my trip to Niagara Falls. My partner and I went there for a nice brunch, and this place blew through our expectations. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious and satiating, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the coffee was options were impeccable, and the Balkan traditional music and food made me feel at home despite being Middle Eastern lol! I love the place and the people there, and will repeatedly go back every time I travel to Niagara Falls.

it was a great place. I was in Serbia in 2021 and after I tried the meal I was instantly transported to those beautiful summer days. The service was great. Very nice man. I highly recommend this place. I live not far away, for three years now, and only today I found out about this place. Thank you very much!
If you are going to have a website with your hours then abide with them. We organized a bunch of friends from out of ton to go to this place for lunch looking forward to cevap, etc and the place was locked up tight at 1:00 PM, despite the website saying they open at 11:00 AM. If you have a website maintain it with current info and don't waste my time and gas to drive there from out of town. Leaves a very bad impression. Thank goodness the Havana restaurant down the road was open and we had a great time there. Nautica will not see our shadow at their doors again.

Went for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the incredible food and delicious coffee. The cappuccino was out of this world, as were the chevaps. A must try for sure!

I was there for the first time yesterday as they hosted my family for a repass. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy. The staff is so friendly ,accommodating & attentive. The best service and experience I've had in a long time. I recommend this hidden gem!
We loved the vibe in this place! A lovely waitress, a handsome chef. We only had beverages and fries! The bread and meat platters looked amazing!! We will back!!
