Incoho Restaurant — Restaurant in St. Catharines

The good: Fresh, local ingredients in a homey, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. A simple menu of items they do very well. Friendly, engaging staff make waiting for the food fun, and the novelty of watching them cut fresh herbs right off the counter is so cute! You can tell they have a great passion for food and ingredients. They’re in this for the love of it, not just for the money, which is fabtastic!

The bad: I can’t afford to eat there daily! Honestly, the only snags are that with a limited, changed-daily menu it’s hard to get your favourites. People who like to order “the usual” might not enjoy that, but I was excited about it. The prices are a bit high for locally sourced brunch food, but with such an elevated palette you quickly forget what you just paid ($20 for one plate of breakfast food and a drink, though...so date night prices for lunch break fare) Allergy friendly fare isn’t available here yet. Nothing is gluten free and it would be hard to eat vegetarian.

The awesome: The price of a full brunch is high, but they have considered the neighborhood and do offer menu items like baked goods and juices that are affordable. They’re passionate about food and refuse to cut corners just to cut costs, and I respect that. The owner gave us the whole story of his business and why he creates the food he does with such love and passion that I can see why the restaurant is doing so well. Everyone behind the counter seems to really get along and they’re so cute together. It’s like going home for the holidays and hanging out with your younger cousins. It’s just the kind of place that makes you feel included and like you belong even if you’re eating alone.

Highly, highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to see brunch meet its full potential, meet some of the best people in St Catharines...and maybe feed their inner hipster, just...

We never leave reviews but wanted to reflect on an amazing experience at Incoho for our anniversary. We were greeted with warmth and well accommodated in the shade on the patio. We started with a shared salad with a lemon poppyseed dressing that I would love to bottle and use on every single salad I make going forward. We opened some lovely wine with some help and moved into our main course after our ginger inspired palate cleanser. This blew our minds! We have never tasted beef so perfectly full of flavour. My gf even tried and loved the marrow bone done with a green goddess dressing, which was an incredible combination of flavours and cooked perfectly. The heirloom carrots, potato and bread on the plate were all delicious and tied in perfectly. We finished with a house made ice cream and a specially made lactose free option for this guy. A huge thank you goes out to the staff at Incoho for making our anniversary an incredibly memorable and DELICIOUS experience. We recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves food and flavour with warm, friendly staff always smiling behind...

Exceptional in every way. Visited on Monday, August 19th and had the set menu. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly welcoming owners who explained the concept and we were sold! Food is sourced from local farms and merchants which we always support. And the food...OMG. the blueberry goat cheese salad was so fresh and light. The palette cleanser was lemon and sweet corn shaved ice! So creative and delicious. The main course was so beautifully presented and tasted even better. Finish that off with a deconstructed funnel cake with peaches and ice cream in a cup. WOW. The peach alcoholic cocktail was deceptively one of the best I've had. And just when I thought it couldnt get any better, free handmade artisan caramel popcorn and cookies to take home. We came upon this restaurant by mistake because the one we planned on was closed on Mondays. The Universe was on our side! Thank you Incoho Restaurant for a magical experience!!! I wish I lived closer to try your...
