Not all those who wander are lost, but I certainly am!
The pandemic is hitting harder than ever. In Northern Ontario where I live the sun is barely coming out, and those of you who live in the the darker places of the world know what that means; a serious case of the winter blues. It’s not the healthiest habit in the world, but when I’m down and out I do enjoy a bit of comfort food from my favourite restaurants. I know that money is tight right now, but for those of us who can afford to do so I encourage you to support these restaurants if they’re local to you.
#1: The Wooden Whisk in Dublin, Ireland
I’ve posted about the Wooden Whisk before as one of my favourite places to get tea, but the lunch there is also very good. As far as I can see they’re open for delivery, dine in, and take-out food. I highly recommend the raspberry chocolate roulade, it changed my life as well as Arrows!
#2. The Sultan’s Tent in Toronto, Canada
I went there once over a decade ago but I still remember the experience so vividly. The food was delicious, the atmosphere sparkling and exotic, and the staff was excellent! This particular option is a bit pricey, so if right now isn’t a good time for your wallet save The Sultan’s Tent for after the pandemic, but go irregardless! It’s so good!
#3. Devil Burger in Queenstown, New Zealand
This restaurant would be my first stop if I ever went back to Queenstown; it’s been over a decade and I still remember the Dark Knight burger. I went there for lunch and dinner in the same day, it’s so good! I also remember calling my parents from one of their tables to tell Mom and Dad I was going bungee jumping. Good memories!
#4. Don Vincenzo’s in Rochester, England
I’ve had several birthday dinners in this restaurant and I can say that it is a bit pricy but well worth it. The food is delicious, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. I only regret not going more! I’m not sure if they do take out, but I do know that when the UK lockdown lifts they have an outdoor seating area which you can request.
Next week I’ll be posting a list of my favourite small businesses, so be sure to come back next Tuesday for a list of amazing people who make amazing products!
