I just came back from my lunch break not too long ago, and I just happen to run into two tourists from Utah! I saw these two boys walking downtown on Elgin Street looking very lost. We just happened to cross paths but what better person to give them directions than someone working at an information booth?! They were looking for someplace to eat downtown and I was excited that I could tell them about numerous restaurants in the area. A good number of the restaurants are located on Durham St. so it worked out perfectly that we were headed that way.
When walking down Durham from Elgin St. the first place I pointed out was a deli called Frank's Delicatessen. Unfortunately I've never eaten there, but I always see people threw the window or outside at a table. I assume that the food is pretty good.
Next I mention Books and Beans, which is a coffeehouse that serves vegetarian soup and sandwhiches. I've been there before and its such a relaxing atmosphere and the food is great.
Across the street is La Boulangerie du Village which is an artisan backery. There are cute umbrellas over the tables outside that are perfect for a beautiful day. They serve wonderful homeade sandwhiches and desserts.
Further down the street is Respect is Burning, an intalian pasta and grill bistro. This restaurant is excellent, and a real favourite amonst us local people. I've ordered both the pasta and pizza and have been left satisfied and wanting more.
From further conversation I found out that they were going to be in town for a few weeks so I mentioned the Blues for Food event this Saturday, June 20th. Hopefully they attend and have an awesome time because it's sure to be great entertainment!
