ThaiNa-Ha-Thai's Kitchen
Naruemon Verspagen opened Na Ha Thai's Kitchen in 2014 after building a following at the Guelph Farmer's Market. The menu carries a 'From Northern Thailand' section (Khao Soi, Hung Lay curry, Northern Larb-Muang), house-made curry pastes across five varieties, and a salted-crab papaya salad with fermented tiny crab. Named for her daughter Nahathai.
Contemporary CanadianWeinkeller Restaurant
Weinkeller is a fine-dining restaurant on Victoria Avenue in Niagara Falls — adults-only (18+), cellar-brick room, prix fixe menu with a late-night tapas list, and house wines made on-site and served on tap. Open since 2013; the counterpoint to the city's tourist-strip dining geography.
ThaiTaste With Andy
Chan Thon Andy Phoung opened Taste With Andy at the end of 2020. The menu pulls from his family's Khmer cooking — Cambodian, the heritage thread — and runs across Thai and Vietnamese traditions. Mom's Chicken Curry, Khmer Burger weekly special, a thirteen-dollar jar of Andy's own super chili paste sold standalone. Downtown Guelph, 45 Cork Street East.

Cocktail LoungeThe Lobby Bar
The Lobby Bar turns Elora's historic Dalby House into a compact cocktail room with Asian-inspired small plates, a serious drink list, and just enough private-event polish. Come for Tuna Tataki, Sushi Shrimp Bowl, Saikoro, Thai Beef Curry, and the hotel-lobby mood.
CubanHavana Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge
