Tripadvisor announced the ten best fine dining restaurants in Canada and two Ontario locations made the list.

The annual Travelers' Choice awards round up the best hotels, destinations, things to do and restaurants around the globe. The 2022 winners were chosen by analyzing data from real travellers' experiences.

Reviews are collected over a 12-month period and destinations that make the cut are within the top 10% on Tripadvisor.

The two Ontario restaurants that made the top 10 list for fine dining in Canada are AG Inspired Cuisine, located in Niagara Falls and Tiara Restaurant, found in Niagara-On-The-Lake. These fine dining spots came in second and third place in all of Canada.

If you're a lover of fine dining experiences it seems a trip to the Niagara region should be on your Canadian bucket list.

AG Inspired Cuisine offers a "true farm-to-table experience" as the restaurant plants and picks its own ingredients in many cases. You can enjoy selections from a three-course menu or visit the bar and eat from the more casual bistro menu.

Tiara Restaurant is found in the Queen's Landing hotel, near a quaint harbour. They also serve farm-to-table Canadian cuisine paired with award-winning regional wines from the morning breakfast buffet to evening dessert.

The two Ontario picks were beaten out only by Pluvio Restaurant in Ucluelet, British Columbia. This number one fine dining location is one of two BC spots in the top ten.

The province of Quebec dominates the top ten list, however, with four different restaurants featured.

There is also a list of 25 restaurant winners from around the world, but no Canadian places are featured this year.
