The scenic Niagara Parkway continues north of the Falls to Niagara-on-the-Lake, the original capital of Upper Canada. Its a place of clapboard wooden houses, old inns, and a profound sense of history. Niagara-on-the-Lake has often been referred to as the loveliest town in Ontario, rich with charming inns, tremendous wineries, superb restaurants, and history that dates back to the early 1780s. Today, Niagara-on-the-Lake beckons visitors with historic sites and pretty parks and a flower-lined main street packed with gift shops, boutiques, and cozy teashops. Popular attractions include wine tours and enjoying the fruit harvest in late summer.

I was a little lazy this time and kind of mushed together several restaurants and cafe’s into this video. No interior decor shots, just out on the street, some with menu ideas from their outside views.
