| - Beaver Choice is an excellent place which I have had the chance to visit three or four times. This is about as home-cooked as you can get in a restaurant. It's like eating at Mom's house, if Mom happens to be Swedish.
I've had a few of the entrees -- schnitzel cordon bleu, pork medallions, seared gravlax -- and all were delicious. Especially the gravlax.
The sides are also great, and you usually get three per meal.
The poutine is perhaps not as good as what you'd get in Quebec, but it's easily the best I've had in Arizona. The fact that they even have poutine wins this place a few points.
I have also had the opportunity to try their dessert specialty, the Beaver Supreme. This mess of chocolate, meringue, cream, mandarin orange, and possibly a few other things, is the sort of thing which you set out intending to only eat half in the first sitting, but ultimately find your free will diminished, invariably resulting in an empty dish and a fear of the onset of diabetes.
Also, it seems one gentleman gave this place low marks for the long preparation time on a chicken wrap. I just have to ask, why would anyone go to a Scandinavian restaurant and order a chicken wrap? Can you imagine what would happen if you wander into a Viking camp and order a chicken wrap? Your head would be off before you could recite one measly Odinian incantation.
