17 Best Cocktail Bars near Niagara Falls

“We decided to take a walk through the casino before our dinner at Watermark and noticed Bar Barista passing by. We ended up having a couple of drinks and Sagar made our time there so much fun and pleasant! We definitely appreciated his drink suggestions and great sense of humour! Thanks so much!“

“This is the kind of food that makes you stop talking mid-bite. Incredibly authentic Cuban cooking, bursting with deep, soulful flavor and clearly made with love, patience, and tradition.

Every dish tasted truly homemade — rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced — the kind of meal you can’t rush and don’t forget. The portions are impressively generous, they left us happily full and already planning leftovers and a return visit.

What elevates the experience even more is the heart behind the place. This family-owned restaurant welcomes you with genuine warmth, making the food somehow taste even better. You don’t feel like a customer — you feel like a guest in someone’s home.

If you’re craving real Cuban food done right — bold flavors, abundant portions, and undeniable soul — this place is an absolute must. A rare gem that reminds you why family-run restaurants matter. We will be back, again and again.“

“The only reason I can't give it five stars is because its Starbucks! Located in the Doubletree Fallsview Hotel. a great place for quick breakfast with bagels, banana bread, muffins etc. Everything was fresh and the service was great. Now if they would only change it to Dunkin Donuts coffee :) it would be perfect !“
