Canada's 100 Best just released the "Definitive Lists of Canada's Best Restaurants and Bars" for 2025, showcasing a range of esteemed locations from coast to coast.

Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list was created by 160 judges, including chefs, critics, and food industry professionals nationwide. The judges rated their top 10 dining experiences from the past year, considering factors such as food quality, service, décor, and wine programs. Each restaurant was given a score and ranked accordingly.

An Ontario restaurant was crowned the best in Canada, earning a spot at number one on the list.

Restaurant Pearl Morissette is a picturesque restaurant in the Niagara region's Jordan Station.

According to the website, the fine dining experience features an "ever-changing menu of regional ingredients" and "reflects the European ideal of destination dining in the heart of agriculture" with an emphasis on sustainability and locality.

The venue can be found on the top floor of a Scandinavian-style barn with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking beautiful farmlands and gardens.

Canada's 100 Best states that Restaurant Pearl Morissette has "elevated Ontario wine-country cuisine to a level on par with the greatest wine regions of the world" and praised it for its "exemplary" service.

The prix fixe menu boasts a range of seasonal dishes. Canada's 100 Best mentions the whitefish roe and celery buttermilk, as well as the butter-poached lobster paired with Badger Flame beets and orange-wine sauce.

The ranking highlights the non-alcoholic pairings as the "best" the judges have ever encountered.

While you're in the area, you can stop by the RPM Bakehouse in Jordan Village, where you'll find a range of baked goods, beverages and small plates.
