11 Unforgettable Niagara Falls Restaurants with a View

Who says you can’t have your cake (or steak) and eat it too? When it comes to dining in Niagara Falls, the views can be just as important as the food. 

Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a family outing, or just want to enjoy a meal with a view, these restaurants provide the perfect setting. 

Here are some of the best restaurants that offer stunning views of the majestic Niagara Falls, making your dining experience truly unforgettable!

Navigating Niagara Tip: It goes without saying, but it’s a good idea to make reservations well in advance, especially during peak tourist season in the summer months or over holidays, to ensure you get a table with the best view. Also – if you are a Niagara resident, you can ask for the tourist tax to be removed from your bill. They won’t always do it, but it’s certainly worth asking!

1. Skylon Tower

Perched 775 feet above the Falls, the Skylon Tower’s Revolving Dining Room offers an unparalleled 360-degree view as it slowly rotates during your meal. Enjoy your meal while taking in the panoramic scenery, which includes both the American and Horseshoe Falls. This is a must-visit for a truly memorable dining experience and is a great post to come to for anniversaries, special occasions, or even popping the question! 

You can enjoy the views for lunch or dinner, and with a kid’s menu, gluten-free options, vegetarian and vegan options, there’s something to suit all palates. If dining early is your thing (because sometimes it pays to do so!) you can find a 3-course early bird menu for $55/adult.

The Skylon Tower is one of my favourite spots to see the fireworks in Niagara Falls too, and your ride to the top is included in your dinner reservation. Don’t forget to check out the viewing platform after dinner!

Address: 520 Victoria St

2. Table Rock House Restaurant

Located right at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls, Table Rock House Restaurant offers one of the closest dining experiences to the Falls. The menu focuses on locally sourced ingredients, and you can expect a Canadian-inspired culinary experience.

Open for lunch and dinner, there’s plenty of options to suit everyone. Dinner offers the chance to choose from a pre-fixe menu or order a la carte. There’s a great drinks menu featuring local craft beer, wine, and cocktails!

The view is especially spectacular during the evening when the Falls are illuminated. If you visit during the Winter Festival of Lights, the Table Rock House is one of the stops on the Hot Chocolate Trail. Cozy up with a table facing the illuminated falls and sip your hot chocolate to warm up after getting up close to the Falls.

It’s a convenient spot to dine at after checking out some of the activities in Niagara Falls, like Journey Behind the Falls which is located at Table Rock House.

Address: 5700 Niagara Parkway

This historic Queen Victoria Place Restaurant is situated within Queen Victoria Park and offers a scenic view of the Falls. It’s central to the Niagara Falls activities and is walking distance to Clifton Hill, the hotel zone, and Table Rock Centre. 

While it’s open seasonally, it’s an awesome spot to come and relax with great views. Choose to dine indoors, or on their outdoor covered terrace which overlooks the American and Horseshoe Falls.

The outdoor patio is perfect for a summer meal with a direct view of the Falls.

The Keg Fallsview offers a relaxed yet upscale dining experience with fantastic views of the Falls. Located on the 9th floor of the Embassy Suites, the Keg is well known for its steak and seafood dishes. It’s also a great spot to enjoy the nightly Falls illumination. 

While it is one of the more popular chain restaurants, I was really impressed with the quality of the food and the service we had here. We came in December during the Winter Festival of Lights and the Falls were lit up beautifully at night. 

If you don’t get a seat right next to the window, don’t fret – there is tiered seating, so there is plenty of opportunity for viewing the Falls!

Massimo’s Italian Fallsview Restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist. It’s been rated the #1 Italian Restaurant in Niagara Falls on TripAdvisor and one of the Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants on OpenTable, so it’s definitely worth checking out! 

The restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows provide a stunning view of both the American and Horseshoe Falls. The menu has a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and is inspired by Chef Massimo Capra – one of Canada’s most prominent chefs.

Choose from a prix-fixe menu daily from 5:00 – 6:00 pm, or select from a variety of Italian dishes and dessert, plus local and Italian wine choices.

It’s not as frequented as some other restaurants in Niagara Falls with views, making this more of a hidden gem. Plus, its proximity to the Falls makes it a prime spot for seeing the Falls illumination at night, and the fireworks!

P.s. If you’re looking for breakfast with a view, check out IHOP located at the Tower Hotel on the 25th floor!
