| - My husband and I just returned from dinner at Beaver Choice. We may not be authorities on Scandinavian cuisine, but we had an amazing meal prepared by an incredibly friendly family.
From the moment we walked in the door, the family that owns the restaurant was more than inviting. They took great care and pride in explaining the menu. The restaurant has two menus: a Grab-and-Go menu that has quickly prepared and cheaper fare, and a bistro menu that offers larger dinner plates that are more expensive. The owners even offered us a sample plate (with their cured salmon, potato salad, and beet salad). The friendly service made us feel that we were guests in a family kitchen.
After some consultation, my husband ordered the Laxpudding. The main dish is cured salmon atop a potato and egg frittata with a tangy dill flavor. I think my husband might become addicted to their salmon. He recommends that anyone who enjoys cured fish, or just fish in general, to locate a means of transportation to this restaurant immediately. In addition, the salmon comes with a tangy dill mustard that just enhances all the flavors. He had three sides with his meal: a tomato-basil salad, a spinach salad, and sauerkraut. All were home-made fresh.
Being a vegetarian, I was more limited in my selections. However, I am told that the restaurant will offer pierogies in October, and I love pierogies. I definitely plan to return to sample some vegetarian pierogies.
Beaver Choice has several vegetarian options on their Grab-and-Go menu. The owners explained all the vegetarian selections, and offered to let me construct a plate from any of the vegetarian options and sides. I decided to order their Harmonie plate (for only $5). It is a large plate of home-made falafels with a potato salad and a side salad. The falafels were very tasty, and the potato salad was absolutely fantastic.
In all, we had a wonderful, home-made, fresh dinner prepared by a very friendly family. My husband is anxious to return to try more of their fish dishes and their schnitzel, and I am looking forward to some pierogies.
