    CanadianRestaurant eh?

    November 18, 2023 in Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

    You know you’re in a City of expats when there is a Canadian restaurant. Even in Canada, short of Tim Hortins, I didn’t know Canada even had restaurants specific to them. But here we are in Cuenca , Ecuador eating Canadian food. The menu had Poutain (the only Canadian speciality I had ever heard of) along with what I would classify as American food. Pasta, stew, hamburger, chicken etc and of course the “special of the day”. Now the daily special here is always an awesome deal and almost all restaurants have one. Note that this daily special was almost twice the cost of most other restaurant’s daily specials.
    A cream of pea soup or beet and apple salad starter. Mac and cheese, pork with potatoes, or beef stew for the main, chocolate or pineapple tort for desert, and a drink. For $7.50. Total!
    I topped of my day with a trip on the electric tram that was 1.00. Expensive for tourists but locals can get a pass and it’s about .35.
    Beautiful weather and a nice day all around.
