When i was driving through canada through alaska we went to many of the drive through restaurants and found that many people were dressed up, while we were wearing jeans and t-shirts, they looked at us and knew exactly that we were foreigners!, so just in case you want to go there don't go inside to eat, pick the drive thru!
Oh dear. While I don't normally recommend chain restaurants, especially large, corporate chains, Tim Hortons definitely has to be mentioned in a travel page about Canada.Many visitors to Canada will already know about Tim Hortons before arriving. I don't even want to know how many visitors have arrived here to scout out a Tim Hortons, to open the door and then to find a non-descript generic coffee and donut shop. "What? Is this it? This is Tim Hortons? The place all Canadians are raving about? It's just a donut shop!"Bingo.So why are all the Canadians raving about just a donut shop anyway?First, Canadians love hockey. Tim Horton was a Canadian NHL hockey player. He founded the original Tim Hortons in Ontario in 1964.Second, Tim Hortons (now owned by Wendy's restaurants) is like the McDonald's of Canada in the way that you can go to any small town in the middle of nowhere and you'll...
List of restaurants we found in the Rockies.Jasper - The "Something Else" - Greek with a variety of foods to offer and family run.Banff - The Irish Bar - Home cooked meals to suit everyone and a large variety of beers. Just of the main street.Joe's Diner - in Banff Main Street. Tipical US type diner with juke boxes at the tables and chrome and red decor. Very good breakfasts and bergers etc. Very friendly people there.
Everywhere you go there is a famous coffee shop. In the US you have Starbucks for example, well actually in BC Canada Starbucks is popular too.In Canada probably the most popular coffee shop you will find virtually everywhere is Tim Hortons, named after a famous Hockey Player. You'll see these everywhere so if your in for a coffee, donuts, hot chilli, a sandwich or a bowl of soup for a cheap price, this is the place for you in Canada!
When I'm traveling, I'm never sure what to do about tips. Pretty much in Canada it will be indicated if the tip/gratuity/service-charge is included. Groups from, normally, 10 people and over, 15% gratuity is already included, and you will be receiving only 1 bill. Tips, coming from the phrase "To Insure Prompt Service", are the bane of many people... they don't feel that they should have to augment the staff's wages; however, this is the fact - most establishments only pay minimum wages to their serving/clean up staff, and the tips really do help the staff put food on their own table.The rule of thumb in tipping seems to be - 15% of the bill BEFORE taxes (why tip on government charges) or 10% of the bill AFTER taxes. Leave the tip on the little tray where the bill was placed, or inside the folder, under your plate... or when you pay the bill from your table and the server takes it away...
Don't forget to bring a Student Card, because then you have a little discount. The food is even cheaper when you buy it as take out and eat it in some park when the weather is nice. The lunch specials are from 12pm to 3pm daily. I personally really like the Yellow Curry-to it you can choose between meat, chicken and tofu.
Alice Fazooli's was a great restaurant. Staying just around the corner, we frequented it quite a bit. it had a very friendly atmosphere, with great service and food to match. (one of the waiters was really spunky, but honestly, i'd still recommend the place without him. hormones have not clouded my judgement) they had a great range of pastas and pizzas as well as other syles of food. I couldn't pick a favourite.
Some like it and others hate it. Poutine is a Canadian dish of french fries, cheese curds and gravy. You'll find poutine on the menu at some restaurants as well as fast food chains like McDonnalds and Burger King.For more information on poutine see these sites:http://electron.mit.edu/~gsteele/poutine/http://www.jucep.com/inventeur/english/http://www.avivalasvegas.com/Pages/poutinetalk6.htmhttp://www.eslcafe.com/discussion/wwwboard2/messages/294.html Everyone has to try poutine at least once. C'mon, you know you want to...Special thanks to Matt for the picture. Visit his travel page here:http://members.cox.net/mcsittel/travel.htm
The most famous (perhaps even world famous) eatery in Yellowknife is 'Wildcat Cafe' and it's supposed to be Yellowknife's oldest building.. This legendary hole-in-the-wall place is a small, one-room log cabin with seating on picnic tables which projects the feeling of being on the frontier, sort of a scene from the early days of explorers, gold prospectors and bush pilots...and that fits Yellowknife well. The Caribou burger...
With outdoor seating right on the lake next to a float plane dock, this place can give you the feeling of being transported back in time to the early age of exploration in the far northern reaches of the Great White North. That is until the food arrives...the food was well prepared and certainly didn't make us feel as though we were roughing it. Perhaps the best dining in Yellowknife, The Prospector features several dishes with a focus on their local wildlife such as Trout, Caribou and Muskox... Get their 'Taste of the North' which comes with a portion of muskox and caribou steak marinated in red wine and herbs. True a little 'gamey' but well worth the dining experience. Complement this with a bottle of Mouton Cadet Rothschild red and you're all set...
