Food scene
Some of my favorite places to eat & drink! Oh yeah!
The most amazing French bakery treats found anywhere… except maybe in France! Order the twice baked chocolate croissant, savory breakfast biscuit, quiche… or anything! To die for if you are a true foodie. My fave is the breakfast biscuit. And if you’re a coffee snob like I am, you will not be disappointed by their dark roast espresso… order an americano to appreciate the nuances! I’ll stand in line just for the coffee.

Smoked brisket made in-house, ribs, smoked pork chops, plus made to order sandwiches, French fries, etc. Try the poutine with pulled pork, but please don’t order the brisket because I don’t want them to run out when I order mine! Lol.
