| - Hold the phone, do you mean to tell me that Main St Newmarket has not only one but TWO unbelievably unique and amazingly delicious ethnic restaurants within steps of one another? Well tickle my chin and feed me something because after visiting The Goulash House recently for some traditional Hungarian cuisine it's settled - Main St Newmarket is most up and coming neighbourhood in the GTA!
I stopped in because I'd heard (and read) great things about this place as an alternative to the already popular Made In Mexico just a few doors down. I will clarify, this is NOT an alternative, this is a spot all on it's own and worth trekking up to Newmarket for, and here is why...
I arrived shortly after lunch on a weekday to an empty restaurant, was seated promptly. After viewing the lunch menu I settled on the Lunch sized goulash, which was brought out in literally mere minutes. It was delicious! Great color, tasty sauce, and piping hot! The shaved German style dumplings were a lovely Compliment to the dish and the beef was tender and juicy! They don't skimp on meat either here - a carnivores dream!
I was feeling totally content with my goulash choice until my server offered me dessert (damn him!) I asked what he recommended and without hesitation he insisted I go for the Crepe Gundel - chocolate and walnut crepe served with rum poured on top and then set en flambe right in front of you. Gasp! Nothing turns my crank more than chocolate, alcohol and fire! EeeeGad!!!
Leaving after dessert, shamefully full, I found a bench to sleep on for a few minutes near by.
This is a sweet spot for food anytime of the year BUT I am gonna be a winter Goulash regular come colder temps, because it made my insides all gooey and warm!!!
Eatcrest OUT!
