Great location for cycling weekend
August 22, 2014Stayed at the Canalside in July for a weekend of cycling with friends. Very convient location to a nice flat bike trail that we cycled from Port Colborne to the Peace Bridge and back (approximately 70km). Our hosts at the Canalside, Greg and Rosemarie were fantastic and contributed greatly to our weekend of friendship. After our ride, we sat on... more

Great weekend away in cottage country south
August 22, 2014Forget about fighting traffic heading north to cottage country and head south to Port colborne. Great inn to stay in close to the lake. Located on the towns boutique street in a 100 year old building along the canal. The suite was large and made us feel like we were in Europe. Great to watch the ships go by and... more

Be wary of GF options
August 22, 2014
While I applaud the restaurant's gluten free offerings, they don't follow proper gluten free protocol. There is no dedicated fryer, and despite what any employee says, it is absolutely not safe for people who have to eat gluten free for medical reasons. Any crumb in the fryer (and there will be one despite the high temperatures) is dangerous.

Good Food and Good View
August 14, 2014This was our second time visiting Canalside and we were not disappointed. We had the specials of the day and they were very good. We really enjoyed the homemade fries and onion rings. They were seasoned just right. Service was a tad slow, but our waitress was very nice. We love the décor inside and today we sat on the... more

Great if it was only about atmosphere
August 11, 2014
[Updated] The restaurant is located on historic West Street and has a great view of the Welland Canal and the Clarence Street Bridge. In the summer, the outdoor licensed street patio goes down the street and is a delight to dine at.
Having said this, Canalside advertises themselves as a purveyor of fusion cuisine. The food is OK, but it's...

great location
August 08, 2014We've been here twice in the last few months, it is a great location along the canal, great fish and chips, salads are awesome, others are a little more pub like. Stick to the original dishes.

Very pleasant surprise
July 30, 2014My wife and I regularly visit Niagara Falls to see my father and Port Colborne is always on the list so that we can see the ships. Whilst there we usually find somewhere to eat and on this occasion our regular eatery had shut down and so we tried the Canalside instead. Very pleasant surprise.

Wow, did not expect this quality in a small town
July 26, 2014Wow, loved the food. Ahi tuna was superb, best samosas I have ever had and my wife had her best salad ever. Lobster salad with mango pineapple salsa. Big city taste with small town prices. The place is busy and everything made to order. We will be back

The best in Port Colborne

Great food and service
July 11, 2014Our sandwiches were delicious...creative and executed precisely...prosciutto, red pepper, and homemade aioli. Our server, Amanda, was welcoming and made sure we were well-taken care of. She helped us navigate how charges are handled in Canada. We had a great time! The only disappointment was the ladies room... a bit rundown.

So so cuisine along side the Welland Canal
April 20, 2014
Heading there for lunch? You have a choice of hamburgers, sandwiches, or fish and chips..
The food is OK, with portions on the smaller side, but it seems to be all made fresh. Overall it is a viable option for a meal but seems to be more of a pub than a restaurant
