What's Cook'n Niagara
Our guide to the best local restaurants in the Niagara Region.
As 2021 brings a fresh start, many people have set New Year's resolutions. Whether it's to support our local community, eat a bit healthier, or to try new things, this guide to some of the best local spots will help satisfy your hunger and needs! Niagara has been encouraging people to #shoplocal when they can in order to help our friends across Niagara. Let us know if you have any restaurants you'd like to see featured.
Rise Above
Located in: St. Catharines
Niagara's first vegan restaurant and bakery has gained a following with locals alike due to their inventive menu, delicious food, and for convincing even the most stubborn of carnivores that vegan food can taste GOOD. Currently closed until January 12, Rise Above will be open for takeout and delivery. We suggest the Crispy BBQ Seitan "Wings" and the Sesame Ginger Noodle Bowl for a bright and energizing meal.
