Jason Parsons' Niagara French bistro at Riverbend Inn, a vineyard inn dating to 1809

Why go to Oaklands at Riverbend

Oaklands is the restaurant at Riverbend Inn & Vineyard on the Niagara River Parkway, a property that dates to 1809, when a stone farmhouse was built on the site. Destination Ontario calls the dining room a highlight for food lovers, with views over the inn's vineyard.

Chef Jason Parsons, who also runs the culinary program at Peller Estates, cooks what the inn calls Niagara French bistro cuisine, built on freshly picked produce, carefully sourced proteins and Niagara wines. Breakfast is served daily year-round, with weekend brunch and an afternoon Oaklands Hour, while lunch and dinner service runs from May to September.
