You Can Have Dinner Next To A Stunning Waterfall Near Toronto This Fall

Talk about dinner with a view! 🌊😍
Contributor

Dinner by a waterfall is about as romantic as it gets, so if you’re looking for sweet fall date spots in Ontario then Ancaster Mill needs to be on your radar. 

Located roughly one hour from Toronto in Ancaster, Ontario, this historic mill sits on the edge of a picturesque creek where Ancastrians have been milling since 1792. 

Whether you’re inside the dining room or outside on their verdant patio, you’ll be able to gaze at the waterfall while you indulge in a simple selection of seasonal meals made from local ingredients.

The mill is open for lunch and dinner only on Thursday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The restaurant recommends reserving ahead since it's often booked for weddings.

The menu focuses on fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients and currently features salmon, steak, and pasta.

Prices for entrees range from $21 to $42.

One thing you can't slap a price tag on, however, is the beautiful atmosphere.

The spot looks so magical that it's definitely worth the road trip.

If you’re someone who loves waterfalls or loves someone who does, then you’ll be pleased to know there are actually a few waterfall dining options in the province.
