Yes. Capelin offers an elevated tasting menu experience in Niagara, rooted in seasonal ingredients and thoughtful technique. While the cuisine is refined and intentional, the atmosphere is what we refer to as casual fine dining. A balance of precision, comfort and conversation.

We serve a multi course tasting menu with a thoughtful fish forward focus. Our guests sit to dine at the same time, creating a shared and immersive dining experience.

Each course is plated in full view, encouraging dialogue with owners Alex and Kat. The experience lasts approximately two and a half hours.

Our tasting menu is $120 per person. Optional wine pairings are available for $65 per person and highlight Niagara producers.

We are open Thursday through Saturday.

Thursday: One seating at 6:30pm

Friday: One seating at 6:30pm

Saturday: During the summer we will be offering two seatings on Saturdays.

We invite you to to arrive up to 15 minutes before your seating to enjoy a pre-dinner drink before service starts.

We are closed Sunday through Wednesday.
