This post is pure fun. So if you're in the mood for something deeper and more thought provoking, you might want to take a pass on this one.
In the spirit of celebrating what is good and beautiful, I was inspired by a recent conversation with some friends about my favourite spots to eat in Niagara.
With some help from Steve, here's what I came up with:
Favourite coffee shop: Conversations Cafe. Hands down best lattes. Plus my friend Deb owns the place and she rocks.
Favourite bakery: De La Terre. The brownies are to die for. For real.
Favourite breakfast spots: Super hard to narrow it down. So - I created some categories :)
Best location and atmosphere - Butterballs in the Jordan hollow.
Best food and ambiance - On the Twenty in Jordan Village.

Favourite chip wagon: MJ's Own Munchies. They even give you free fries on your birthday!
Favourite spots for dinner: The Lake House and The Old Winery.
Favourite atmosphere: The Keg.
Favourite Fish and Chips: The Irish Harp Pub.
Best value: Cats Caboose. You can't beat the $8 lunch menu.
Favourite BBQ: Memphis Fire. Worth the drive. So fun. Reasonable too. Kid-friendly. Amazing food! Try a milkshake too :)
Favourite ice cream spot: Avondale Dairy Bar. I always get soft yogurt ice cream with whatever fresh fruit is in season. Delish.
Favourite food truck: El Gastronomo. Love the fish tacos.
I gotta brag for a second and say that I'm also dying to check out Ravine Vineyard restaurant in St. David's as my brother, Drew (a.k.a. "the chef" to us) just got hired.
All this talk about food is making me super hungry!
