Hands-on creativity! Niagara College’s motto, Applied Dreams, sums up what Chef Dan LeBlanc teaches students and it’s with this in mind that this restaurant operates. It’s a great dining room and the good news is that every menu has wine pairings with some of Niagara College Teaching Winery’s vintages and now, for the first time ever in Canada, beer from their teaching brewery.
