A summer patio day starts with brunch. 🥂
Nestled in the heart of Port Dalhousie, @kaiser.haus serves up waterfront views, European-inspired cuisine, and one of the most charming patio experiences in Niagara.
Order a mimosa (or two), settle into a sunny patio seat, and treat yourself to the Schnitzel Eggs Benedict – a local favourite that`s worth planning your morning around.
With sailboats in the harbour and nowhere else you need to be, it`s the perfect way to start a summer day in St. Catharines.
Consider this your sign to cancel your morning plans and replace them with brunch. Find the full day-to-night patio crawl at lovestc.ca or at the link in our bio!

It`s been a week…
…and we`re still not over Canada Day. ❤️🍁
The music. The packed parks. The waterfront fireworks. The familiar faces and first-time visitors.
Some days are worth reliving, and July 1 was definitely one of them.
Thanks to everyone who celebrated in St. Catharines and helped make our city`s 150th anniversary one for the books. Until next year… we`ll just be over here scrolling through the photos. 📸
