| - Wow. Wow. WOW!! I'm SO thrilled about this place, I'm not sure where to start! So FINALLY, real Canadian food. The location is in the old digs of Tacos El Asador (don't panic, they've moved to a bigger space directly across the street), so good Feng Shui abounds. The menu isn't huge (it's determined by what the catering menu is - they've been running this catering company for 12 years now) which comprises the primary bulk of their food production- for now) and this is also why the hours are a bit limited right now. But the prices are great - the portions aren't huge, but even if you order two, it's still worth it. I had the elk sausage that came with wild rice. I'd ordered a side of bannock - which reminded me of something else and the owner said that most people don't know that bannock is Scottish. The only thing was that (if you want to order Scottish bank) for $2 you only get a tiny square, (with butter and jam), literally less than 2 inches by 2 inches, so not a bargain, but that's okay. My friend ordered the Three Sisters stew, which was good - vegan, tasty, not a huge portion, but still worth it for the price. Then, when I saw my friend's order of Apple Crumble (large portion and was delicious) for just $5, I ordered one too! We also got to try the Cedar Tea which was neat. I also had the iced tea (can't remember which kind) but it was tasty - not too strong. Don't come here with a huge party, expecting to find seating. There are two picnic tables and a few chairs at the counter by the window. You can always take out. I'm SO excited about this place because 1. It's about time we had something like this (real Aboriginal, Canadian food) 2. at an affordable price 3. I love that they're going to be selling cool products (there are already smoked maple syrup bottles, soaps, maple sugar candies, and great t-shirts - which I plan on buying for myself and wearing proudly) and there are great plans in the works. 4. The fact that menu changes daily is fantastic and exciting! The staff are all super friendly and amazing. The owner is, as well. I'm excited to see this place/area evolve. It's not going to just be Korea Town anymore! As I write this, I realize how hungry I am and guess where I'm going to head for brunch? Yep. See ya there!
