Yamato Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 So previous Monday (26th Sep) we left the Glen House in the White Mountains for Quebec. On the way there we stopped by a wonderful restaurant for brunch J's Corner Very busy restaurant during lunch, there's no table so we sat at the bar The bar My beer Onion soup Here comes the steak Here comes my fish Ordered a chicken finger (to go finally) Wonderful experience and very good service and delicious food. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamato Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 After the lunch we continued our drive entering Canada via Stanstead border crossing. While leaving the US there's no immigration check you simply drive on and hit the Canadian side of the border crossing passport control. There was only 1 car in front of the queue. When it was my turn I simply gave the officer our passports and showed him QR code (on my phone) that we received after filling up a form online with the ArriveCAN app. Then we're off, about 2 minutes I'd say. Then it was a 3hrs drive to our hotel in Quebec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamato Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Next day we decided to have Indian food for lunch. We Googled and there was a Royal Tandori so we went. On arrival we found ourselves in a "not so nice" neighbourhood. Its like the houses are really old and streets dirty how shall I say? Hate to say this but yes its like a "low income" neighbourhood. First reaction was regret as I don't think such a place will have nice and authentic Indian food. Anyway since we arrived let's do it Inside also looked old but we were immediately welcomed by a very nice aroma of Indian spices really wonderful fragrant but is clean I must say We were the only customer, again a feeling of regret The chicken buryani came first Naan Beef curry Lamb curry Oh wonderful lamb Spinach Finally I highly recommend this very authentic Indian restaurant if you are looking for one in Quebec. A real gem we found. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamato Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) On our last day in Canada we are supposed to leave Toronto then visit Niagara Falls and then drive back to the States (Scranton to be exact, Joe Biden's birthplace) Leaving Toronto in the morning for Niagara we passed by a rest place and decided to have brunch there. Saw a Pakistani food shop who serves only take away, Zeerah Location - https://maps.app.goo.gl/zttwJaTFfiAeU63h8?g_st=ic I love Pakistani biryani so I went into the store. Ordering counter Waiting area for customers I explained to the owner a lady that I love Pakistani food and asked her if she will allow us to eat there, she told us they only serve with food packed and told us if we don't mind we can stay and eat there So this was what we got Opening them - Chicken biryani, beef curry, chicken curry, spinach The biryani. All I can say is this is one of the best meals we had in terms of the quality and taste. I highly recommend.
