Sightseeing in Niagara Falls this summer? Here's 10 budget-friendly eateries for cash-conscious tourists and residents
You've taken in the views. Enjoyed several of the attractions. Now, you're looking for a place to grab a bite but don't want to break the bank. Here's a list of some nonchain restaurants to eat at on a budget in Niagara Falls: Chengdu Noodles is at 7940 Lundy's Lane. Chengdu Noodles highlights authentic Sichuan dishes at unbeatable prices. Including crispy deep-fried tofu, fiery beef jerky, rich Dan Dan noodles and tangy sweet and sour pork ribs, its offerings impress both in taste and affordability. The most expensive dish on the menu is $12.99. And, as Milan Curcic writes in this Tastes of Niagara column , if you're wondering whether there's a catch, there isn't. Country Fresh Donuts is at 5076 Victoria Ave. This popular, long-established coffee shop is more known for its won ton soup than its name suggests. And for good reason, as the last time this reporter checked, a large won ton soup cost less than $10. Country Fresh Donuts is so popular for its won ton soup that a car crashing through its front window in April 2014 created a public craze . Particularly the story telling readers the restaurant would reopen at 5 a.m. on Nov. 12, 2014. Word spread like wildfire. People lined up outside the door. They posted online selfies of themselves in line, or getting ready to feast on won ton soup. Days after reopening, the lineup was still out the door. The Flying Saucer Restaurant is at 6768 Lundy's Lane. An attraction unto itself, this UFO-looking restaurant has long prided itself as being the 'home of out-of-this-world food at down-to-earth prices.' The space-themed decor and budget-friendly menu has brought visitors through its doors for 50 years. It's particularly a popular breakfast spot for families, with the early bird breakfast offered 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and the E.T. Special, which features buttermilk pancakes, three large eggs, two sausages, two strips of bacon, home fries and Texas toast, priced at $15.49. Hi-Lite Restaurant is at 4524 Queen St. This vintage-style eatery has been serving hearty meals to a loyal customer base for more than 90 years. As summed up by one customer in a Google review posted on its website: 'Food was served hot and service was so good. I had a clubhouse sandwich with fries/gravy. Niagara's secret gem on Queen Street. Prices are super cheap. I can't wait to return.' Hi-Lite Restaurant offers all-day breakfast, including eggs and pancakes, and a wide variety of lunch staples, including its popular clubhouse sandwich, fish and chips, burgers and authentic Greek gyro, with a side of fresh cut fries. Many items are priced between $10 and $15. The building was renovated five years ago, but still retains that nostalgic diner feeling, bringing customers back in time. Queen's Coach Family Restaurant is at 2845 St. Paul Ave. Located in a charming old coach house, this family-owned gem has been serving the community since 1995. Loyal customers have flocked there for a quick, hot breakfast, satisfying lunch or relaxed dinner, including a range of vegan options. It offers a wide selection of hearty, home-cooked meals, with generous portions at affordable prices. For example, customers can find some breakfast platters for $5.99 and entrees for as low as $13.99. Betty's Restaurant is at 8921 Sodom Rd. A well-known family-owned spot that has been serving up homestyle meals in a comfortable setting at reasonable prices since 1967. The portions are so large you're likely to have leftovers. Betty's is famous for its fish and chips but also has a wide-ranging menu sure to satisfy all palates, including homemade pies. For example, its sandwiches and burgers range in price between $10 and $16. Cheryl's Deli & Subs is at 4912 Victoria Ave. Sometimes just a quick sub will do. And at Cheryl's Deli & Subs, they come massive and packed with whatever choice of protein and toppings you choose. The little sub shop is tucked away in an unassuming storefront on Victoria Avenue, yet it's so popular because of the value customers get. Everything is fresh as the meat and vegetables are sliced for every sub, with nothing that goes into the subs coming from a package. Clancy's Sports Bar & Restaurant is at 5233 Stanley Ave. Since 1981, Clancy's has been one of Niagara Falls' most popular sports bars. It's known for its pizza, chicken wings and late-night eats at affordable prices. A few of the menu highlights include a Kentucky-inspired bluegrass chicken sandwich with fries or garden salad for $16.50 and a loaded steak and cheese sub with fries or garden salad for $18. Chip 'n Charlie's Bar & Eatery is at 8189 Lundy's Lane. Similar to Clancy's, but in the southwest end of the city, is Chip 'n Charlie's Eatery & Bar. Whether you're there to watch your favourite sports team and/or enjoy a filling, yet affordable, meal, Chip's, as the locals often call it, has built a following since it opened 20 years ago. With a bar area that's usually filled with regulars engaged in good conversation and a roomy dining area since the business expanded years ago, most of its menu items are less than $20, with many around $15. For example, two-piece fish and chips costs $16 and five-piece chicken fingers and fries are $15. While it may be in the heart of the Fallsview core, Zappi's Pizza & Pasta doesn't slam you with tourist-driven prices. The family-owned business has been making authentic pizzas and Italian dishes from scratch since 1971. Its hearty three-layer lasagna is $15.25, while its calzones are about $16. Zappi's has been recognized as part of the Niagara Falls Review Readers' Choice Awards for best family restaurant and best pizzeria from 2008 through 2023 and was also the recipient of Tripadvisor Certificates of Excellence between those years.

First look: Inside Revolver, Singapore's sleek experimental Indian export
Find at Revolver, fire, flair and edge… Singapore-born Michelin-select name Revolver is opening its doors in Dubai, bringing the signature open-fire grill dining concept to the city with a menu that honours traditional South Asian culinary heritage with an experimental touch in tow. 3 of 12 Helmed by Chef Jitin Joshi, internationally acclaimed with 27 years of experience under his belt opening and leading several Michelin-select kitchens, including the now two-Michelin-starred Gymkhana in London, Revolver is inspired by fire and flair, and offers an experience that reflects as such. Everything at Revolver is inspired by the theatrics of film and stage, from the name to what it entails and the spice-driven menu, much of which makes masterful use of charcoal. The ingredients are traditional and the techniques, innovative. The interiors are done up to serve the big-and-bold ethos of the concept, with low lighting and sleek interiors, dripping in gilded gold, texture and shine, and fixtures evocative of bullets and revolvers all around. The star of the show is the massive centrepiece – a twisting round of glowing bullets suspended from the ceiling. There is also a private dining room that seats parties of up to 12 and can be booked out for special occasions. The space is complemented by an outdoor terrace that seats up to 40 and a wine cellar with a stock of vintages and pairings. What's On the menu? The focus of the experience lies at the heart of the restaurant – the grill, the brazier and the tandoor, providing smoke, heat and action-packed flavours to every dish. It's placed in the open so every guest has a front-row seat to the spectacle of open-fire cooking. Some of Chef's creations for the menu include the signature smoked chutoro tartare, featuring an eclectic mix of ingredients like fermented mustard leaves, preserved bamboo shoot, akuni and dried anchovies; burrata street style inspired by the spice and nutty profile of the Chinese Dan Dan noodles and served with youtiao or savoury churros, and lobster manchurian, rich and umami with a sauce originating from Tangra, Kolkata. The beverage selection is inspired by the 12 elements of nature, and features a series of signature cocktails drawing from the same smoky profiles. Some of the options include Unlighted, a concoction of Don Julio Reposado, Talisker Storm, Rinomato Deciso Rosso and Campari infused guava, smoked with Palo Santo Wood; and Drift, modern and fruity featuring The Botanist Gin infused ginger, vanilla and hazelnut, complemented by Belle de Brillet Pear Liqueur and Telmont Réserve Brut Champagne.
