A taste of the Mediterranean in Port Dalhousie

Lokanta Mediterranean is a top-rated family-run café, bakery, and market founded by a Turkish chef and his wife. Lokanta brings the warmth and traditions of Mediterranean hospitality to Niagara's unique beach community, Historic Port Dalhousie.

Celebrating the richness of Mediterranean hospitality and ingredients

Inspired by generations of Mediterranean family cooking, our menu features healthy mezze platters, grilled meats, zesty salads, heartwarming vegetarian dishes, and house-made pastries.

Fresh and healthy, local ingredients

Whether it's fresh-brewed coffee, croissants straight from the oven, or our selection of Mediterranean dips and salads, everything at Lokanta is made fresh with ingredients that celebrate the richness of both the Niagara and Mediterranean regions.

Where strangers become friends

We believe food is more than nourishment — it’s connection. Founded by a Turkish chef and his wife, Lokanta brings the culinary traditions of the Mediterranean to the shores of Lake Ontario. Our café is a space where cultures meet, stories are shared, and strangers become friends.
