The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Farm-to-Table Dining in Ontario's Wine Country

LIV Restaurant sits at 253 Taylor Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake, one of Canada's most celebrated wine regions and a destination that draws visitors for its vineyards, scenery, and increasingly, its food. The restaurant is part of the White Oaks resort and earns its place on the map with a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2025 — a recognition that speaks directly to the quality and depth of its wine program.

A Table Rooted in the Region

The farm-to-table philosophy at LIV means the kitchen draws on what the Niagara Peninsula does best: locally grown produce, seasonal ingredients, and a genuine connection to the land that surrounds it. Dinner here is shaped by that regional identity, with a menu that shifts to reflect what's available close to home rather than chasing trends from afar.

Wine at the Centre

The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly, and for a restaurant in Niagara-on-the-Lake — a region defined by its viticulture — a strong wine list is both expected and essential. LIV meets that standard, pairing its farm-to-table dinner menu with a selection that does justice to both local Ontario producers and the broader world of wine.
