(Damn fine steak it was too.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-31263361594141477082006-11-14T18:48:00.000-05:002006-11-14T18:48:00.000-05:00Thanks for the recommendations, Shelley.

Cathy can be in the same room as seafood, although sometimes it can be uncomfortable if there is a lot around.<br /><br />Oh, and thanks for "outing" yourself on my blog...;)<br /><br />Oh, and Colette, are you home for Christmas? If so, we really ought to do lunch.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-32659022847907426832006-11-13T22:41:00.000-05:002006-11-13T22:41:00.000-05:00Giovanni's = Giovanni Cabot's right? GREAT choice!...Giovanni's = Giovanni Cabot's right? GREAT choice!!<br /><br />Taste of Thai is great, go for lunch if you are looking to spend less than $20 each, for supper if you don't mind dropping around $40 each - minus drinks and dessert.<br /><br />The Sprout is tasty and cheap - and even heavy meat eaters are impressed with the vegetarian menu. Also, they have the best house coffee.<br /><br />The Bamboo Garden (located in the original Duck Street Bistro) is homemade Chinese food, although they have recently also begun serving 'Canadian Chinese food' too. The decor leaves something to be desired (don't get me started) but the menu is diverse and cheap. And the portions are big. <br /><br />Not well known (read: you can dine in private most times, during the winter especially) is the Bloomin' Teapot, located in the Botanical Gardens building. Great food and cheap to boot. Also a wide tea selection, if you're into tea.<br /><br />If Cathy isn't DEATHLY allergic to seafood (can she be in the same room as it?) Sun Sushi does have a pretty decent selection of non-fish/non-sushi menu items: curry rice bowls, noodle bowls, fried chicken, veggie tempura, salad and dumplings. <br /><br />I'm sure you know of the oldie but goodie International Flavours. If you are at the far end of Duckworth (near George St.) and don't want to trek to Signal Hill for your I.F. fix, go to the Afghan Restaurant. It's basically the same food - not as nice atmosphere but definitely has it's own charm.<br /><br />Those are my recommendations, hope you have a tasty trip home. Oh, and thanks for your comments on my site.<br /><br />Shelley at shelcor.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-24354428868125786092006-11-13T18:24:00.000-05:002006-11-13T18:24:00.000-05:00Basho!

Bring $$$ for both but the food is excellent, the menus are inventive and the service is top notch.<br /><br />Mireille--Gypsy Tea Room is still there and the food is still good. Butternut squash soup with homemade sourdough crouton and goat cheese.....yum.<br /><br />And I hear you on the town of several thousands spiel. I just took an overnight trip to Corner Brook so I could have a decent meal. Thirteen West--excellent meal, as always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-65176083888490026302006-11-13T10:41:00.000-05:002006-11-13T10:41:00.000-05:00Try Aqua or Blue on Water.
