Montana’s Restaurant

The other day we tried to purchase tickets to the Downton Abbey movie but found they didn’t open until 12:30 p.m. for ticket sales and it was now only about 11:15 a.m. With Montana’s across the parking lot, we decided to go and grab a quick bite and then come back to get the tickets.

We got in, ordered our coffees and then I decided to go for the potato skins (sans onion) and Don ordered the chicken wings.

When the food came out I have never, EVER seen potato skins like this….they had quite a bit of potato left, added the best brisket and their bold bbq sauce. I kid you not, These are the very best I have ever eaten.

Don had the double dusted chicken wings and loved every bit of it. Then, because we still had a few more minutes to go, we ordered the 8 mini donuts which come out HOT and has a warm toffee dipping sauce. Oh Boy!  We have gone over the top today.

I spoke with the Manager and told him what I thought of the potato skins and he said they had already run out of the brisket for the afternoon. It is a new item on their menu and he says everyone has caught on. Fabulous!

Hooded Merganser Restaurant-Penticton, B.C.

This must be one of the best restaurants in Penticton.  http://www.hoodedmerganser.ca/ The reason being it is in with the Casino.  True…

A couple of months back, we took a cooking class with their Chef at the Osoyoos Home Hardware. He was so good and really emphasized the fresh herbs he grows right at the casino, as well as his home, for his menu.

Don ordered the Hood Burger. This is a 7 oz. sirloin burger with more condiments that he can remember.  Bacon, tomato, cheese, red onion, sauce, mustard (I think).  He asked for fries and  ‘gravy’. They don’t make gravy but instead brought him a duck au ju with ketchup in a separate dish. His eyes are still rolling in joy.

I ordered a sandwich I had never heard of before.  Mango and Gouda between two grilled pieces of a beautiful, light bread. OMG! Of course I had the fries BUT no au ju…..The only thing that upset me is that there was onion in the sandwich and it wasn’t listed on the menu.  I don’t eat onions and it tainted the flavour of the sandwich.  It was one of the best sandwiches ever, once I removed all traces of the onion.

Lunch was $$ and so special overlooking the Okanagan Lake….besides I won $169.00 at the Casino in less than 20 minutes.  All in all, A great day.
