Zouglas

For Father’s Day, I made a last minute change to our plans and made a reservation at Zougla Mediterranean Restaurant and the experience was so wonderful, I am glad I did.

The three of us each ordered a beverage and an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms to share. WOW! These have to be, without a doubt, the very best stuffed mushrooms ever. Gone and we were picking the tiny bits of crispy cheese on the side of the dish.

Don ordered the Lamb Shank and it looked super tender. He ate every bit of it.

Kelly ordered the steak and said it was perfectly cooked and tasty. It was all gone.

I ordered the Chicken Oscar and, believe me, it was soooo tender and wonderful. I ate all but maybe two bites, but we took it home anyway. Wow that was a wonderful meal.

Then Don got to choose dessert and since it was not available to order our favourite, Creme Brulee, he opted for the Carrot Cake. This, as well, was tasty and the presentation for the drinks, special coffees, and meals were spectacular.

You outdid yourselves and we will be back again. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Joe Fortes Seafood and Chop House

A week ago while in Vancouver, we had the opportunity to enjoy a dinner with daughter Suzanne and family. We came to this establishment as Suzanne and Victor had been before and really like it.

The staff are amazing..attentive but not over-bearing and our server, Vincent was on top of his game. We all ordered a beverage and appies to share. The crab and corn fritters were soooo tasty and Don and Jade loved the oysters.

I think the majority of the table ordered the seafood linguine, and Don ordered the Halibut. Everyone loved their meal and would go back in a heartbeat.

At the end of the meal there was a tiny bottle of hot sauce sitting there. (it probably held 3 drops) and Sydney was hoping to keep it (it was used) but had been removed from the table. Another server came over and told Don there was more where that came from and brought two of them. Sydney took one and of course, Granddad took the other. Dessert was chocolate with a lot of spoons.

Thank you Suzanne and family for such a wonderful treat and being able to see you all again.

Yes, we all took care with masks and sanitizers as did the staff at the restaurant.
