Ontario is full of remarkable restaurants to dine at with your significant other, but one spot recently ranked among the world’s best for date nights!
Trip Advisor’s Travelers’ Choice: Best of the Best Restaurants for 2024 was revealed last week, with only two Canadian establishments making the cut within the date night category: Pluvio Restaurant in Vancouver, and AG Inspired Cuisine in Niagara!
“Date night” is one among nine restaurant categories in the Best of the Best Awards, which includes fine dining, date night, casual dining, hidden gems, pet-friendly, vegan & vegetarian, quick bites, outdoor, and sustainable.
The annual round-up is determined “based on the quality and quantity of traveller reviews and ratings posted on Tripadvisor over the 12-month period between June 1 2023 through May 31, 2024, as well as an additional editorial process,” according to the website.
Out of the travel guidance platform’s 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve a spot on the list – so it’s a pretty big deal!
To qualify for the date night category, Trip Advisor writes the following: “Whether it’s the stunning backdrop or the cosy vibe, something about these restaurants really sets the mood for a night of wining and dining.”
Niagara’s AG Inspired Cuisine earned as one of the best date night destinations, ranking 21st overall. It also ranked second for the best fine dining destinations in Canada!
Located within the Sterling Inn & Spa, this upscale restaurant is known for its fine dining experience, offering both à la carte options and a farm-inspired sharing menu.
“AG Inspired Cuisine offers a contemporary atmosphere with friendly, knowledgeable staff. The menu showcases fresh, farm-to-table ingredients with stunning presentations,” states Trip Advisor.
“Guests can enjoy the seasonal tasting menu paired with a curated wine list. The ambiance is chic and romantic, perfect for casual gatherings or a special night out. Private rooms are also available for larger groups. Don’t miss the delicious desserts!”
AG has previously been recognized in various publications as an outstanding restaurant as well. In 2024, it already won OpenTable Diner’s Choice, and in previous years, it received the 2022 Travellers’ Choice Award.
It’s also been recognized by Niagara Falls Tourism and earned the prestigious 4 Diamonds by CAA/AAA, a spot in TripAdvisor’s 10 Best Niagara Falls Restaurants, and the Sustainability Award from the Ontario Tourism Awards of Excellence.
Time to reserve a table and take a trip to Niagara!
