Just got back from Montreal, Thousand Islands and Niagara Falls and here is the food we ate everywhere. The most important part of a Gujarati’s vacation:
Montreal
Canadian Food
Beavertails at Queues de Castor and Poutine at Maison Smokies – a food truck in Old Port, Montreal:
Review: Both things were delicious. See how my son couldn’t even resist a bite of that Beavertail before I could take a photo.
Chinese Food
Lunch at Chez Chili and Dragon’s Beard at a street stall in Montreal Chinatown:
Review: Ma Po Tofu was very good. Rest was ok. Nowhere near as nice as Peter Chang here in Chartlottesville.
South Indian Food
Madras Curry House:
Review: Decent but nothing spectacular.
Gananoque
Indian Food
Lunch Buffet at BBQ Tandoori:
Review: Just ok.
Thai/Vietnamese
Pho Hut in downtown Gananoque:
Review: Spectacular

Niagara Falls
IHOP
IHOP at the Tower Hotel
Review: The view was worth it to pay 150% more (yes you read that right and I didn’t make a mistake) for IHOP. They were also honest and warned about “Premium Pricing” before you decide to step into the elevator to the 25th/26th floors that are occupied by IHOP and even mention other locations without the premium pricing.
Korean
Papa Korea
Review: Ok, not as good as Maru, here in Cville
Buffalo
South Indian
Nellai Banana Leaf near Buffalo Airport:
Review: Ok, food pictured better than it tasted.
Back in Virginia
Punjabi Style inside Lotte in Centreville
Review: Best Indian food of the trip. Enough to make my son walk over and tell the guy at the counter that the food is great.
